Learning outcomes Upon successfulcompletion this course, students will:
be able to define the concept of Free/Open Source Software (FOSS)
know about history, philosophy and politics around the phenomenon of FOSS
be able to describe UNIX/Linux based operating systems and name the most popular distributions of Linux operating system
be able to localize resources about Linux and other FOSS modules on Internet
be able to evaluate advantages and disadvantages with use of FOSS in different contexts
be able to explain how UNIX/Linux operating systems works and to give examples for use of Linux in organizations (companies, schools, public sector)
govern a basic configuration, use and administration of UNIX/Linux based systems
be able to design and administrate a small heterogeneous (Linux, MS Win, Mac) network
Course contents The course is an introduction to system administration by use of Linux and other Free/Open Source Software tools. Major parts of the course will be based on requirements from the leading certification institution for Linux: Linux Professional Institute (http://www.lpi.org) (programmet LPIC-1). The course introduces use of the Linux command-based interface (shell or terminal), administration of users in large multi-user systems, secure backup and data recovery, planning and maintenance of a heterogeneous network (LAN server, Internet gateway, Internet server).
Teaching methods Normally, 4 hours lecture and 4 hours lab work per week. Parts of the instruction are Internet based. At least two seminars (in the beginning and middle of the course duration) will be arranged for non-campus students. Tuition is given in the first part of the semester, only.
