Intended
for administrators proficient in Unix environments, this course helps
administrators transition their Unix skills to the Linux environment.
This accelerated fast track course course concentrates on the popular
Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution, and covers subjects ranging from
initial installation of Linux to day-to-day administrative tasks such as
management of user accounts and disk space. Also covered is setup and
maintenance of many of the most popular network services available for
Linux, including servers for DNS, SMB, e-mail servers, FTP, web, and
caching proxy. Special attention is paid to the concepts needed to
implement these services securely, and to the trouble-shooting skills
which will be necessary for real-world administration of network and
system services.
Individuals wishing to take this class should already have a solid
grounding in UNIX administration 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.
This course is intended to be taught as a five day 40 hour course.
However the content supplied could span more than seven days in length.
To keep the course within a targeted 40 hour time frame a consensus
between the student and instructor must be made on which topics and labs
not to cover. The remaining topics not targeted for exclusion should be
covered at an accelerated pace.
