Ten years ago I had my first encounter with Linux, and fell in love with it because it's open-source philosophy and architecture. I work in an enterprise-level...
It's a good and thorough course, but very out of date. It definitely needs to be updated as a lot has happened since 2018. Some of the stuff the instructor showed gave some errors due to it, but with some googling it was possible to fix it.
The instructor was extremely helpful and used clear communication, using real-world examples. Excellent!

There was no additional information gleaned from this course.
The main problem I have is that now (230922) CentOS 6.9 is too old to be used (the repo's weren't available when I try to use yum), so I had to choose a different CentOS, 7.9 in my case, and there a lot of the setup of the OS didn't match, so I had a lot of struggle to get the operating system up and running before I could actually do the rest of the course. But so far the ACL stuff has been good, but it would be good with an update of the OS installation.
Great. IF you did a class on SquidGuard I would take that too
Awesome content! Thank you so much for your hard work on this. Your delivery of the content is great and I love the additional info you give (iptables, vi, bashrc, etc.). It will be a great help to newbies. :)
