Latest revision as of 01:42, 26 March 2021

This is a course I thought at a previous employer (fictitiously referred to as Yoyodyne) some time ago. You can see how dated it is. I leave it here for posterity and perhaps for fun.

Course Description

  • A study of modern Unix) derived systems for business customers who are end users of a Unix system. This course is not geared for users who are primary Unix users however it is a good start for a beginning primary user. This course is geared towards Solaris and Redhat Linux although it is generic enough to apply to all post 2002 Unix derived operating systems.
  • This course is not an advocacy course. You won't be bored with the history of this or that other than which is essential to a good understand of the philosophy of the way Unix systems work in general.

Textbook (highly recommended):

Student Learning Outcomes

  • To provide the student with information about the philosophy of Unix derived operating systems.
  • To provide overview of commands related to everyday use of the Unix operating systems.
  • To provide information on the Unix file systems and directory structure.
  • To provide information on obtaining further help with more advanced and also programming topics.
  • To provide information on free and open source software and advocacy.

Course outline and handouts

  • All reading assignments should be completed by the date to the left of the assignment.
