The Audience for this curriculum will be very wide. Learners will generally come from two backgrounds: The first group are new to Linux with little to no previous Linux or Unix experience, the second group will have some Linux or Unix experience, but want to learn about Linux or the basics of System and Network Administration. Learners who start the curriculum with the first user fundamentals course will have experience of other O/S, but assume that they are completely Linux inexperienced.
