Intermediate Linux (II)
2024-11-17 , Workshop 10

Let's do this again. In this workshop I'll show some tools, shortcuts and tips to work with Linux. Topics will include setting up your basic work environment, networking tools, working with the industry standard database format (aka CSV/Excel), working with JSON, finding stuff, troubleshooting and much more.

I did a similar workshop in 2022 and try to avoid repeating myself, although some repetition might be necessary, e.g., I still see people typing clear instead of hitting CTRL-L.

The audience is invited to try some tools discussed, so bring your own Linux (or Mac or Windows with WSL). Note that not all tools may be available for your system, and you may need root privileges to execute some of them.


What should participants bring to the workshop?:

Notebook running Linux, macOS or Windows (with WSL!). You may also use fresh (Debian) VM so you don't mess up your existing configuration accidentally.

Freelance consultant, Linux user since last century (my first Linux distribution was shipped on 35 3.5" disks). Doing IPv6, DNS(SEC), Linux and Ansible.
