This second course in the series provides more detailed information about how to use Linux. It does not build on the first course. It is designed so that someone who already knows what Linux is and just wants to know the basics about how to use it could take only this course. This course teaches the technical features of Linux using the shell system using the X Window system and finding additional Linux resources. It focuses on end user tasks not system administration tasks.
