Intended for students already comfortable
with working in the Unix environment, this in-depth course helps
students acquire the variety of skills needed to set up and maintain
Unix computers. The class concentrates on the popular Red Hat
distribution of the Linux operating system, and covers subjects ranging
from initial installation of Linux to day-to-day administrative tasks
such as management of user accounts and disk space, and even imparting
the trouble-shooting skills future system administrators will need to
cope with unexpected behavior.
Prerequisites
Individuals wishing to take this class should already have a solid
grounding in UNIX concepts. Fundamentals such as an understanding of the
Linux filesystem, process management, and the ability to manipulate and
edit files is considered a must and will not be covered in class. An
understanding of network concepts, and the TCP/IP protocol suite is
helpful.
