It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

This course covers the major utilities and concepts involved in using current network operating systems. This includes server organization, accounting, administrator duties, user addition, security, shared printing, rights, login scripts, menus and the most common network files and commands. It also covers the three most widely used network platforms: Novell NetWare, Microsoft Windows and Linux.

Linux and its installation process are introduced in this course. Linux is a popular, widely used operating system. The class will explore Linux on a PC -- playing the role of a system administrator. Students will also learn how to run a Linux system using the command line and the GUI. They will learn how Linux boots up and shuts down and look at the X Windows system and how to configure and start it.

Like other operating systems, Linux can use commands from a shell that is a blank screen with a cursor. The commands are similar in appearance to old-fashioned DOS commands and some programmers swear by this program.
