I used to use Linux frequently, but since it's been over three years, I was having a hard time remembering things. This course is really helping me get my groove back. Thank you!!

What you will gain after the course

  • Basic skills to work in the Linux terminal without getting lost

  • The ability to directly find necessary information from logs and files

Detailed Introduction

If you've ever connected to a Linux server for the first time,
and found yourself frozen in front of a black screen, not knowing where to start,
this course was created to help you get past that moment.

This course is designed for those new to Linux,
focusing on the most fundamental yet frequently used commands:
cd, ls, and grep.

We don't just list or make you memorize commands.
We explain when, why, and in what situations each command is used
with real server and log scenarios as examples.


What this course covers

  • The basic structure of the terminal and the concept of current location

  • How to navigate directories using the cd command

  • How to read files and directories with the ls command

  • How to find desired content in logs and files using the grep command

  • Practical examples of common situations encountered on servers

All content is explained from a beginner's perspective,
and is structured so that you can easily follow along even without Linux or server experience.


Features of this course

  • Beginner-focused explanations
    Explanations start with "why we use this command" so you can understand from the ground up.

  • Structured around practical workflow
    Navigate directories → Check files → Search logs
    Experience the actual server workflow as it is.

  • Unnecessary content excluded
    Advanced commands that beginners don't need right away have been boldly omitted.


What You'll Gain from This Course

After completing this course,
the Linux terminal will no longer be an overwhelming space,
but rather a space where you have a sense of what to do.

The biggest goal of this course is
to make you think "Ah, I should start looking from here"
instead of "Now what should I do?"
when you connect to a server.

Hello, I'm Frank.

I am an infrastructure engineer who has been wrestling with servers for over 20 years. Starting with Linux server operations, I am now in charge of the cloud infrastructure for a large-scale payment service. My daily life involves migrating from data centers to AWS, managing hundreds of instances, and tracing the causes of failures in the early hours of the morning.

The reason I created this course is simple.

I often received questions like these from those around me: "I managed to connect to the server, but I don't know what to do next." "There are so many instance types; which one should I choose?" These are the exact same points where I got stuck at first. However, when I looked for resources, I found that most of them were written for people who already knew what they were doing.

So I decided to create the course I wish I had when I first started learning.

My lectures are based on three principles.

First, I help you understand rather than memorize. Instead of just listing commands, I explain why we use them in the first place.

Second, I boldly omit unnecessary content. I do not increase the volume by including information that is useless to beginners right now.

Third, I also talk about what doesn't work. Instead of just listing the pros, I clearly point out cases where it might not be a good fit. For someone who has to make decisions in the field, that is more important.

If you feel a sense of "Ah, I should start from here" after listening to the lecture, then my goal has been achieved.

Please feel free to leave any questions you may have at any time.
