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.
