At P2PU, people work together to learn a particular topic by completing tasks, assessing individual and group work, and providing constructive feedback.
This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Learn what you need to know in order to become a GNU/Linux Certified Engineer.
There is a site at, http://courses.devblog.co/ where you will find the GNU/Linux Course.
Sign up there where new videos will be posted as well as quizzes and tests. Get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.
We can use p2pu to communicate and study, and use the course site to take the quizzes and watch videos. http://courses.devblog.co/
For every user that completes the course with a passing grade, I will be sending you a Certificate certifying you by P2PU and DevBlog for GNU/Linux Administration.
There is an irc channel on freenode you can join #p2pu-55-linux , a possible space for us to organize, discuss, share.
posted message: I would urge more people to take advantage of the irc channel. Even if your there just hanging out its a way to get real time help from your peers and even frank! (sometimes ;) )

posted message: GNU/Linux Tip of the Day: Using the `watch` utility will allow you to run a command at a set interval. For instance, say you need to check the status of a process and you were using `ps -aux`. You could do `watch -n 2 'ps -aux | grep PID'` and the grep you issued would repeat every 2 seconds since we defined a 2 second interval with -n.
posted message: GNU/Linux Tip of the day: using the nohup utility followed by a command and the & will allow you to run a script immune to any hangups as a background process. Example: `nohup php script.php &` will run the script.php file as a background process while making sure there are no interruptions.
