01 / FIND YOUR NEXT STEP

One app.
Four ways forward.

Start where you are. Follow a track, revisit a weak spot, or jump into something useful.

START WITH THE SHELL

Know where you are.
Know what comes next.

Navigate files, read output, work with text and understand permissions. Build the foundations before adding complexity.

02 / A BIGGER PRACTICE GROUND

Your RHEL 10
practice companion.

Connect the command to the job. Work through accounts, packages, persistent networking, storage, SELinux and recovery in a structured administration track.

Explore the RHCSA track

Independent learning product. Practical content awaits independent technical review.

  1. 01
    Understand the task

    Short explanations, supplied facts and local documentation.

  2. 02
    Make the system work

    Stateful exercises with files, services and saved configuration.

  3. 03
    Verify. Then revisit.

    Check the result, practise a different variant and try a real-machine guide.

03 / LESS WATCHING. MORE DOING.

Make it run.
Make it stick.

A small taste of state-based practice. Starting a service and keeping it running after reboot are two different things.

Type help to see the supported commands.
Three checks. More than one valid approach.

This website demo supports only the commands listed above. The app’s labs represent more state and declare their own limits. Neither is a complete Linux runtime.

04 / MAKE IT YOURS

A little more play.
The same real practice.

Keep the focused experience you know. Or give your practice a new sense of adventure.

Familiar. Focused. Yours.

Your existing Today screen, practice flow, ranks and badges. Classic stays the default when you update.

  • Jump straight into a useful session
  • Keep your progress and earned access
  • Switch to Adventure whenever you like

One progress history. One purchase. No starting over.

05 / SMALL SESSIONS. USEFUL OUTCOMES.

Built for the
way skills grow.

Guidance when you need it. Independent recall when you’re ready. Clear evidence of what to practise next.

↺

Remember beyond today

Spaced review and varied rematches bring useful commands back. Guided participation and independent recall stay distinct.

⌁

Pick up where you stopped

Resume lab checkpoints, inspect your session history and transfer learning data with a manual backup.

⌘

Practise across your day

Short phone sessions, a larger iPad workspace and a Mac app with room for reference and keyboard input.

THE FREE LIBRARY IS STILL HERE

Read the idea. Then put it to work.

Explore 36 free web lessons, searchable reference notes and real-system practice prompts.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
hit return.

Need something else?
Talk to the developer ↗

Is this a real terminal?

No. Drills check command answers, and practical labs simulate a declared subset of machine state. Neither the app nor this website runs commands on your device’s operating system.

Do existing owners need to pay again?

No. The existing one-time Full Access purchase includes all tracks and future content updates, including this expansion. The App Store shows your local price before purchase.

Can I keep the familiar experience?

Yes. Classic remains the default. Adventure is optional in Settings, and both modes share progress, XP, content and purchases.

Is it an official RHCSA product?

No. It is an independent practice companion targeting RHEL 10. Practical content is labelled as awaiting independent technical review. Completion does not predict an exam result.

Can I study without an internet connection?

Yes. App learning content is bundled, with progress and checkpoints stored locally. Apple’s purchase and restoration services may need a connection.

When can I get version 5.3?

Version 5.3 is being finalised for release. This page previews the update; the App Store still offers the previous version. Mac availability will follow its separate review.
