Linux System Administration class

2013-04-29T04:40:50Z

71.135.96.48:

'''Current (Tuesday 20130326 from 3 to 4:30 PM):'''
We're studying IP Tables. On Tuesday 20130312 we had an intro; on Tuesday 20130319 we analyized and used a few commands. Upcoming sessions should further explore iptables command arguments.

'''Potential Upcoming Classes:
* Starting either April 2 or April 9: kernel tuning by Michael (probably a few classes on this)
* Understanding Log Files
* Partitioning and Filesystems 2: EFI and GUID/Gpt Partitions
* Man Pages

'''Previous:
* Open-ended review of network configuration files typically found in the /etc directory.
* Git : Fourth class exercising the use of git on our local machines in sync with an internet-accessible git repository.
* Introduction to Git continues
* January 29: SSH into remote box, change password, clone git repo to local machine, create file and check git status [https://gist.github.com/4669506 Notes on github]
* Text files and their purposes along with an introduction to vi and vim features.
* December 11: Partitioning and File Systems
* December 4: X11/Xorg
Xorg is not a GUI! What is it?
Understanding X Server/Client
Using Xnest, SSH, VNC
Understanding framebuffers
* November 27: Users, Groups, Permissions

'''General Info: '''

System administration topics include
* managing users, groups, and permissions
* monitoring and managing storage and file systems
* understanding the Filesystem Hierarchical Standard as a global namespace
* a tour of the Linux [https://github.com/torvalds/linux#slider directory tree], with emphasis on commands
* monitoring and managing processes
* installing and configuring server software
* configuring and updating XOrg X11 GUI systems
* installing and configuring devices, firmware, and modules
* kernel tuning
* network configuration
* introduction to compiling a C program and using make, using chkrootkit.c as the example
* writing shell scripts
* command-line essentials

The principles are the same across all GNU/Linux distributions, but some
distributions share common configuration approaches. The examples in these
classes will generally reference both the Debian and the Red Hat approaches.

Most of the above topics require a sequence of two or more classes for
completion. Such class sequences are progressive, and success requires
attendance for all classes in the sequence.

Each topic stands alone; there are no dependencies among them. The
assumption is that attendees are at least familiar with command-line
shells.

Because command-line skills are generally required, the command-line
essentials class (a one-class introduction) may be presented from
time to time.

Linux & BSDiscussion

2013-04-29T04:32:41Z

71.135.96.48:

Our Linux & BSDiscussion meets every Wednesday from 6 PM to 8 PM in the Turing classroom. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing Alan Turing]] It is an informal meeting sponsored by the San Francisco Linux User's Group [http://www.sf-lug.org SF-LUG.ORG] and is wide open to any ideas relating to using the various [http://www.gnu.org GNU]/[http://www.kernel.org Linux]-based and [ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/share/misc/bsd-family-tree BSD]-based operating systems]. We are not limited to, but do enthusiastically encourage:

* Sharing the latest software releases
* Installations
* Helping new users and converts
* Hardware investigation
* Configuration
* Troubleshooting
* Reviving old computers and making them better with Linux, *BSD and other Open-Source Software

We started meeting weekly in mid-October, 2009 and have had a group develop who steadily attend.
