Linux: A Powerful Version of UNIX
Introduction, Configuration and Troubleshooting
Linux is probably the most popular, and easy-to-use form of UNIX
available today. Linux is both powerful — as well as flexible — as an
operating system for workstations and servers. There is a large portfolio of
existing applications to run in personal and corporate environments, in addition
to supporting a diverse development platform for "do-it-yourselfers".
Linux supports end-user applications such as word processors, spreadsheets,
graphics and electronic mail, while being utilized in the server environment for
networking, file sharing, web and ecommerce servers. One of the most popular
"ports" of Linux is Red Hat. Due to its popularity, Red Hat Linux is
used in this workshop as an excellent example of how flexible and useful Linux
can be for an organization requiring an operating system for both servers and
workstations.
This 4-day workshop on the concepts, features, and capabilities of Linux will
aid the beginning Linux user or assist the current Linux user in better
understanding the Linux operating system. As a hands-on workshop, attendees will
spend a significant amount of class time using the Linux system as a method for
learning and applying the workshop material. Getting the attendees "up to
speed" on Linux as a useful information technology tool is the main goal of
this workshop.
Who Should Attend:
This workshop will be very beneficial to all those involved in an
organization's information and application development efforts where Linux is
the primary operating system environment: end-users, informational services
personnel, software engineers/architects, programmers, and their associated
managers and supervisors.
