   My daughter was advised/encouraged by their teacher to take a Linux (sic) command line course.

   She was enjoying it until she unexpectedly hit a paywall at chapter 4 (of 6).

   Can you recommend a free as in freedom GNU/Linux command-line course or tutorial?

     @janneke if her teacher suggested she do it then I'd ask the teacher for recommendations.

     @DrHyde
     That's the first thing she did.

     They said: If you finish the course in three weeks, it's the best 28 Euros you ever spent.

     They didn't seem to care about grasp the idea of freedom/free software.

     "You just need to pass on a few beers this summer."

     "I don't drink."

     I really doubt if they even got the irony of free as in freedom, not as in beer.
