Linux is the basic backbone of almost all open source works and powers most of the web servers. The governing body for Linux is The Linux Foundation, and it offers many courses and training for people who needs it through it website. The cost for those training can be as much as $2,400.
Last week The Linux Foundation has announced that it will work with non-profit MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) site edX, which is powered by Harvard and MIT, to make those Linux courses free and open for everyone.
The course will be held this summer and over 2500 people have already signed up within 24 hours. The course will take 40 to 60 hours to complete and also don't have any prerequisites.
It is said that if this course will be a success, then The Linux Foundation will make more courses MOOC.
