Introduction
The target group of this course are Linux server administrators responsible for implementing, configuring, and managing Linux servers in a small to medium enterprise to solve common business problems.

Profile
The third course in the Linux administration curriculum is Advanced Linux Administration. This course utilizes SLES9 as the Linux distribution upon which attendees learn to conduct more complex administrative skills that are necessary to the health and function of an installed and established small to medium Linux network. The tasks in this course are presented in a logical order that correlates to the networking needs of an established Linux network environment. The course design reinforces knowledge and tasks taught in the course through exercises that build upon previously introduced content and exercises, resulting in accelerated mastery of advanced administrative tasks.
This course presents advanced administrative skills common to a mid-to-senior level administrator in an enterprise environment.

Attendees of Advanced Linux Administration will learn to apply security to network users and resources, manage and compile the Linux kernel, manage network clients, implement an FTP server, manage and configure web servers, use OpenLDAP and eDirectory to manage network data (to demonstrate best practices), manage mail and messaging services, and troubleshoot the network processes and services.

This course utilizes SLES9 to teach administrative skills common to an entry level Linux administrator or Help Desk technician in an enterprise environment. Attendees of Linux Administration will learn to install and configure SLES9, establish and manage users and groups, grant and manage permissions to users and groups, manage software applications with YaST, manage and troubleshoot the SUSE Linux file system, manage printing, configure the network with YaST, and manage network services.
