Course Overview

This CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) course teaches the foundational and advanced skills needed to manage Linux environments effectively across on-premises and cloud deployments. You will practice core administration tasks including users and groups, permissions, storage, boot and services, package management, networking, and troubleshooting.

The course also emphasizes modern Linux operations, including security best practices (firewalls, SELinux/AppArmor, and access controls), Bash scripting and scheduling for automation, and containerization and virtualization with tools such as Docker, Podman, KVM, and VirtualBox. Content aligns to the CompTIA Linux+ certification exam objectives.

Course Benefits

  • Perform essential Linux command-line tasks and navigate the Linux filesystem.
  • Manage users, groups, profiles, permissions, ownership, and special permission bits (SUID, SGID, sticky bit).
  • Configure and troubleshoot storage, partitions, filesystems, and logical volumes (LVM).
  • Manage kernel modules, the Linux boot process (including GRUB 2), services/daemons, and system components.
  • Configure and troubleshoot Linux networking, including TCP/IP fundamentals and DHCP/DNS client services.
  • Install, update, and troubleshoot software using package managers and repositories (APT, YUM, DNF).
  • Apply Linux security practices including access controls, SELinux/AppArmor, firewalls, logging, and backup/restore.
  • Write and run Bash scripts and use scheduling tools (cron/at) to automate administrative tasks.
  • Deploy and manage containers with Docker/Podman and work with virtualization technologies such as KVM and VirtualBox.
  • Install and configure Linux, including initial setup and recovery considerations.
