Who should attend: System administrators who plan to implement a Linux solution in a production environment. 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.

Topics will include:

	Installation features
	Disk partitioning and RAID
	Networking
	User accounts
	Services
	NFS and NIS
	High availability environments
	The workplace

By the end of the course, you should feel confident in your ability to setup and maintain a secure and useful Linux network.
