Prerequisites and takeaways

- [Instructor] In this course, we'll be looking inside the Linux Kernel, so I recommend that you are familiar with working with the Linux Command Line, C programming, and editing files on Linux. I'll skip over explaining some commands I use, but I'll comment on commands I use that are specific for our work with the Kernel or are more obscure. Some of what we do involves reading and writing C code, so that's why I suggest you have experience with C. In this course, I will be connecting to a Linux machine. That Linux machine will also be running a Virtual Machine running Linux. That's handy for some of the things we do. You should have a Linux machine or Virtual Machine with root access available. It'll be handy for you to have a Virtual Machine as well, if you're using a physical Linux machine, because we are working as root. Bad things can happen, so be sure to have a backup or to use a machine that will be okay for you to reinstall Linux later if needed. I will be using Ubuntu 19.10. You can use a distro of your choice, but using Ubuntu 19.10 as well will be best.
