idnib Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The class is normally $2400. We're going to have DS audit it rather than sign up for assignments and such. He's young but I'm familiar with Linux and DH uses it exclusively so we can walk him through it. There are no prerequisites except the basic ability to use a computer. Earlier this week, The Linux Foundation announced that it would be working with edX, a non-profit online learning site governed by Harvard and MIT, to make its “Introduction to Linux†course free and open to all. The Linux Foundation has long offered a wide variety of training courses through its website, but those can generally cost upwards of $2,000. This introductory class, which usually costs $2,400, will be the first from the Linux Foundation to run as a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). There is no limit on enrollment through edX's platform.
