Learn to use the Linux operating system and build a server in your own home!

- Download and watch movies from the internet
- Upload your photos, view them from your phone and back them up to the cloud
Building your own server will take you behind the scenes on how an operating system really works. Using software which is 100% free, you will learn:
- How to install, maintain and secure a working Linux server
- What are the differences between the various Linux versions
- How to use your server as a personal secure web server and file server, and where to get ideas for other uses for it
