Introduction to Linux System AdministrationMicah Thomas
Linux is the most widely used server in the world and the desktop versions are equally secure and stable. This service will help you to get moving quickly and prove useful in your daily work.
First we will cover how to add users and and how to find help from the manual pages. This section will also include a basic overview of how the operating system works and other common distributions.
We will get hands on with the system by learning about partitioning schemes, how to ID hardware and basic host information. The ability to view and control processes is important for monitoring your system and diagnosing problems.
The next section will cover file properties and permissions, how to compress folders and tools such as grep to perform powerful searches.
One of the major benefits of using a Linux system is the package management system and all the high quality free software available. Again we will learn a few terminal shell commands and make these routine tasks super easy.
If there is time permitting we will move on to virtualization managers such as KVM, secure shell (SSH), networking and how to send encrypted messages with PGP.
At the end of this training you will be able to get started on your own Linux journey.
What's included
Prerequisites:
Debian or Ubuntu Linux installed on a developer laptop or desktop computer with at least 8GB of RAM. You will need full administrator rights in order to complete this training. I can also assist with installation.
Suggested to purchase: “Linux Pocket Guide” by Daniel J. Barrett
ISBN: 978-1-491-92757-1
Learn how to install and use a Linux desktop
This course is designed for anyone interested in learning how to use a basic Linux desktop for business or accounting operations. Advanced users can use the same base system to build scientific application workstations.
The goal is to become comfortable using applications from command line terminals and graphical interfaces.
We will explore the many high quality free applications and configuration options.
At the end of the course you will be able to chain together basic applications and have them run automatically. In addition you will be able to manage software packages, add users and monitor running systems.
