Welcome to the Hands-on-Linux wiki!

This is a hands-on tutorial on Linux for people without a Linux background. To get started with this tutorial, we recommend that you launch an EC2 instance with Ubuntu 20.04 as your playground. We also assume that you already know how to SSH into the EC2 instance. If you don't please refer to the following AWS documentation:

• AWS Free Tier Offerings
• Amazon EC2 Key Pairs
• Getting Started with Amazon EC2 Linux Instances
• Connecting to Your Linux Instance Using SSH
• Connecting to Your Linux Instance from Windows Using PuTTY

You do not need to keep a long-running EC2 instance. The recommendation is to Stop the EC2 instance so that you are not charged for the EC2 instance when you are not using it, then Start the EC2 instance when you need to use it again. Please change that the public IP address of the EC2 instance changes after a Stop/Start.

The rest of this tutorial assumes that you are SSH'ed into the EC2 instance.
