4 Linux lessons

He accomplished in 20 minutes what another with years of experience could not accomplish in over an hour. I employed him to set up my new pc with Linux which he easily accomplished, including an important Windows-only program he easily imported from my Windows pc to my Linux pc. If you have a Linux question, situation, or just want someone to properly setup your pc to run Linux, you cannot do better than Matthew. And he's a really nice guy too. :-)
John S.

1 Linux lesson

He was able to give me a lot of advise on the newest issues within Linux and the IT industry. He put a lot of effort to help me understand and comprehend concepts, to gain an understand where I could apply them to real world situations. My tutoring session was related to a complicated Linux project where I had to simulated the responsibilities of a system administrator. Rodrigo explained the project, which had a multi step process of administrating, and requiring one to not only write the command line.

Christian is helping me pass my LPIC1 and LPIC2 exams. So we are going over the test material, Linux commands, and strategies needed to pass the exam. He is extremely knowledgeable in Linux and I look forward to working with him more to strengthen my practical knowledge with Linux.
