You'll begin by learning about the history of IT, operating systems, Unix, Linux, and Windows before moving on to look at the cloud and what things were like before virtualization. This will help anyone new to Linux become familiar with the terms used throughout the book. You'll then explore popular Linux distributions, including RHEL 7, RHEL 8, SLES, Ubuntu Pro, CentOS 7, and more.
