This is a hands-on course in managing Linux server systems. There will be some lectures and demonstrations in the course, but the primary activity will be a series of guided practical projects in which you learn by doing.Working alone or in small groups, you will set up a Linux system from the ground up. Not long after we begin, all of our machines will be able to connect to and communicate with one another. Gradually, your computer and the network will become more complex, and our collective site will offer more and more services to users. Along the way, you will encounter services that run as they should, and services that misbehave, and you will learn how to fix the latter. You will also learn to find and plug security holes before your system gets compromised.
