Welcome to week 2; introduction to linux

Welcome back! We have another important topic to explore.
Previously, you learned aboutoperating systems and user interfaces.
You learned how operating systems work and how resources are allocated in computers.
We also reviewed several common operating systems.
You may already have a favorite operating system.
It's common to hear that people are fans of one over another, but in the security world,
Linux is commonly used.
In this section, you'll be learning more about the Linux operating system and how
it's used in everyday tasks in security.
First, you'll learn about the architecture of Linux.
After this, we'll compare the different distributions of Linux that are available.
Lastly, you'll explore the shell, a key Linux component that allows you to communicate with the system.
I remember when I first learned about the Linux OS, and I'm really happy to explore it with you now.
