You can access Linux at the University of Bath using these instructions and there is a wiki page that summarises the basic Linux commands. The courses on LInux offered through O'Reilly may use a Linux connection that is different to that provided at the University of Bath so check access arrangements before starting on any of the courses below. The DoctoralSkills Research Software Skills course offers an Introduction to Linux course that also takes you through the process of using Linux at the University. These are workshops for doctoral students, however, the lesson material is available on Moodle for you to use (under 'Lesson Materials').
