As part of my role as a product manager at Red Hat, I’ve been working with one of the teams that write Learning Paths for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). To date, we’ve published 13 step-by-step tutorials on the topic for our developer portal - all completely free and designed to help developers get hands-on experience.  I’ve posted about some of these before on Reddit, and seen some interest, but it seemed like it would be useful to have the current list aggregate into a single post to those interested.  You can get them through the portal, but you have to find learning paths on the site, then search specifically for the RHEL tag to do it. Anyhow, this is just a simple list.
