But how do you fine tune your environment to maximize speed and efficiency? How to get the best possible performance out of Linux?
This is where The Linux Foundation steps in to help you. The Linux Foundation is the non-profit organization that employs Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux. They have a number of courses to help all kind of Linux users. I have also discussed some of the free Linux courses offered by The Linux Foundation for beginners in the past.

Keep in mind that this is a professional training course and thus it might seem experience. But considering that it is coming from The Linux Foundation itself, you can be sure of getting the worth of every single dollar. You can even mention it on your resume.
If you think you cannot pay the training fee on your own, I suggest asking your company to get this training for you. It is in the best interest of your organization after all.
If it is still something you cannot afford, I suggest taking a look at self-paced Linux Security and Hardening online course by Linux Training Academy.
