Introduction to Linux
Why Linux?
Linux based operating systems are the de facto standard for HPC systems. Thus it is vital to have a solid understanding of how to work with Linux.

Dates for the courses are announced via the tier3-hpc mailing list. Registration for the next course can be done via Moodle.
