→What This Course is About
:* As a system administrator, you will be responsible for '''installing, configuring, adjusting, maintaining, and troubleshooting the operation of computer systems'''. This is a lot of responsibility, and with that responsibility comes power. You will be able to change anything on the system, and you will also have the ability to damage or destroy the system.
:* In this course you use a '''removable disk tray with the lab computers''' to set up a Linux system. You will also set up '''at least four additional Linux systems using "Virtual Machines"''', and therefore gain experience with different types of system configurations as well as setting up networking between systems.
:* Later courses (OPS335 and OPS435) teach you to administer Linux servers (web servers, DNS servers, FTP servers, file sharing servers) -- and to use more complex scripting to boost your system administration efficiency.
