Full Day Tutorial Session (9:00 am - 5:00 pm):
S3   Linux Systems Administration
Bryan C. Andregg, Red Hat Software,Inc.

Who should attend: System administrators who plan to implement a Linux solution in a production environment. This course is designed to benefit both the novice administrator and the guru. You should be familiar with the basics of systems administration in a UNIX/Linux environment: user level commands, administration commands, and TCP/IP networking.

From a single server to a network of workstations, the Linux environment can be a daunting task for administrators knowledgeable in other platforms. Starting with a single server and finishing with a multi-server, 1000+ user environment, case studies will provide practical information for using Linux in the real world.

The following areas will be covered, with a special emphasis on security:
-   Installation features
 
-   Disk partitioning and RAID
 
-   Networking
 
-   User accounts
 
-   Services
 
-   NFS and NIS
 
-   High availability environments
 
-   The workplace
 
-   Up-and-coming in the Linux world (coda, ivan, etc.)
 

By the end of the course, you should feel confident in your ability to set up and maintain a secure and useful Linux network. This tutorial will be conducted in an open manner that allows questions to be asked and answered.  


Bryan C. Andregg (S3 Instructor)   is the Director of MIS at Red Hat Software where he has overseen combining two nationally distinct offices, moving the entire organization, re-designing the internal and external networks, and setting up a second building and the WAN connecting the two.
