[Chixla] Interested in learning Linux? SMC has a Linux Administration class in Spring 2006

[SMichelle]

Santa Monica College has a Linux workstation administration class
starting in the Spring (semester starts February 13). I've taken this
teacher is he is very good. If you've wanted to learn more about Linux
but didn't know how to go about it ... a short 16 week commitment would
make you a master :) The prerequisite is some experience in C, but if
you're C-less, don't sweat it, I have an intro to C book that a quick
read will give you everything you need to know.
Standard admission policy and fees would apply. Application for SMC
admission can be found here

Total cost with health fees and per unit fees would be appx. $85.

******* SMC Class Description *******
CS 41, LINUX WORKSTATION ADMINISTRATION    3 UNITS
Prerequisite: Computer Science 50.
This course introduces the Linux operating system to students as users,
programmers, and administrators. Students install Linux to create a
dual-boot system in class, and use a memory-loadable boot CD version at
home. Use of fundamental commands, their graphical interface
counterparts, editors, and programming tools are emphasized. Students
learn to write shell script programs; read, compile, and execute a
series of demonstration C programs; and install applications using the
open source software distribution model. Central disciplines of local
administration are covered, including user account management, backup,
task scheduling, logging, and local system security.
