Hoffman2:Linux Tutorial

Back to all things Hoffman2

Lynda.com tutorials

UCLA employees and students have access to video tutorials through Lynda.com.

One course that will be especially helpful to Hoffman2 users is "Learning Linux Command Line". This video series will help you get up to speed with commands like cd, ls, mkdir, cp, mv, find, grep, awk, sed, vi, tar, and so on. The whole series will take you about 2 hours to complete, but you are welcome to pick and choose from the individual tutorials that interest you (each video runs from about 2 to 6 minutes).

To access these video tutorials:

1. Start here: http://learnit.ucla.edu
2. Click "Lynda.com"
3. Log in with your UCLA Logon ID and password
4. If this is the first time you are using Lynda.com, you may need to type in your name and preferred email address.
5. Search for "Learning Linux Command Line"

Once you have sharpened your Linux command line skills, search around for other videos that interest you. Hint: I really enjoyed the "iMovie Essential Training" course.
