6. Of the four days of training, how many days should be spent on the Linux Operating System and how many days on the Python Programming Language?

Answers:

1. No it does not.

2. 12

3. 1

4. The vendor shall skip Linux commands related to managing the Linux environment and installing software (because OCIO performs those functions at the FTC.) Most introductory Linux classes cover installation and Linux management; we just want to skip these sections as our users wouldn’t have the admin rights to perform these actions. Instead, we would prefer to focus only on tasks that standard users without root or sudo permissions would be able to perform. The vendor will not need to develop any additional Linux training for us.

5. 1/2 -1 day on Linux and the remaining time on Python
