Description
The UNIX operating system is characterized by its stability and scalability. These characteristics make it appropriate for mission-critical and server operations. Many network installations utilize UNIX or LINUX servers connected to clients running varying operating systems. Born of the need for an inexpensive version of UNIX, LINUX was created in 1991 and in several distributions is increasingly popular. This course primarily studies LINUX, including installation, security features and networking. Both command-line and graphic interfaces are explored. Prerequisites: COM 202 or 301.
