LINUX Administration: Client-Site and Boot Camp Training:

Getting the Right Knowledge to the Right People at the Right Time. Anywhere. With Client Site Training, courses can be scheduled on a date that is convenient for you, and because they can be scheduled at your location, you don't incur travel costs and students won't be away from home. An additional advantage is that the class is taught on your equipment, so students are learning in their work environment rather than in a classroom setup. Client Site classes can also be tailored to meet your needs. You might shorten a 10-day class into a 5-day class, or combine portions of several related courses into a single course, or have the instructor vary the emphasis of topics depending on your staff's and site's requirements. We require a minimum of five employees and above.

Who Should Attend:

Students wishing to acquire the skills required as a Linux system administrator

Course Aims:

This Linux Administrator Boot Camp introduces the key aspects of the Linux operating system and equips the student to install and configure Linux on suitable hardware. It describes how to set up and configure essential networking services over TCP/IP networks, including the Network File System (NFS), DNS, network printing, e-mail, and configuring a web server. The learning path explains how to maintain a secure Linux system. This involves: managing users, software, and processes; working with the Linux filesystem, and using text editors and the Bash shell. It also incorporates troubleshooting techniques and principles for Linux systems.
