FTA Announce #22: GNU Linux Advanced

Permanent link: /announce/22

Since January 2012 the FTA courses are organised in a bottom-up fashion: courses will take off if a sufficient number of participants have expressed their interest in a specific course and a minimum amount of tuition fees has been collected. The number of learners influences the degree of interaction, necessary to provide a fruitful learning experience.

We already have learners lined up for a new session of the GNU/Linux Advanced that will take off on March 24th, 2014.

Interested? Please go to our Programme Page and follow the steps presented.

GNU/Linux Advanced

GNU/Linux systems have reached a level of maturity that allows to integrate them in almost any kind of work environment, from mobile phones to server farms.

The contents of the module "GNU/Linux Advanced" are mostly related to systems administration. Students will learn how to install, configure and optimise a GNU/Linux operating system and the most widely used computer services.

During this course students will engage in practical activities related to these topics, applying them in real GNU/Linux systems.

Basic knowledge and skills in GNU/Linux is recommended. Expertise in system administration in any platform is desirable background. Understanding the Concepts of Free Software and Open Standards is recommended.
