= Welcome to OPS235! - ''Introduction to Open System Servers'' ={| width="100%" align="right" cellpadding="10"|- valign="top"| width="55%"|== What This Course is About == <u>This course is the second in a series of courses about Linux technologies</u> :* ULI101 taught you to be a Linux ''user''. In OPS235, you will move from being Linux a ''user'' to being a Linux system ''administrator''. :* 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 an external SSD drive (USB 3) 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. == Learning by Doing == Most of the learning in this course occurs through the hands-on problem solving that takes place in the eight labs and two assignments.
== Weekly Schedule ==<u>Requirements for Success</u>
Weekly topic, lab:* It is very important to stay up-to-date with the coursework, and assignment information is available on the [[Winter 2010 OPS235 Weekly Schedule]] pageto practice until you have confidently mastered each task.
== Supplies Checklist ==Needed immediately: # Fedora 12 Live CD (you can burn this from ISO image on a CD/DVD using * All of the Freedom Toaster software used in the Open Lab). The image this course is also available from:#* http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/12/Live/x86_64/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live.iso - Seneca's mirror of the Fedora project'open source'' software, so you are free to use, modify, and redistribute it. This is very fast, but is only accessible from within Seneca's network (means that you can't access this from home).#* http://get.fedoraproject.org - Accessible from any Internet connection.# SATA Hard disk (at least 80 GB) in removable drive tray. Please buy the tray from ACS or the bookstore install it as many times as you want on as many different computers as not all trays are compatibleyou would like.# USB flash drive (64 MB or more It also means that you can tinker with it - warning: anything on this will be erased!)# [https://cs.senecac.on.ca/~fac/ops235/logbook-W10.pdf Lab log book (print out this PDF)]. Please note that you can use your log book during the quizzestake it apart, written testssee how it works, practical tests and put it back together in the final examsame or a different way, limited only by your time and ambition. You are encouraged to experiment and question liberally. It's also the record that you have completed the labs, so don't lose it!
Needed :* The notes that you make during the labs and assignments are your reference material for week 2: the quizzes, tests, and assignments. Take really good notes, and if you have questions, experiment and consult with your professor.
:* Carefully read ALL lab instructions and check your work regularly. The labs have been designed with backup safeguards to prevent the student from losing their work. On the other hand, students may lose their work if they fail to follow lab instructions or accidentally forget their removable hard disks in the workstation's hard disk bay drive!
# Fedora 12 installation DVD (x86_64) You can burn this from ISO image on the Freedom Toaster in the Open Lab. The image is also available from:#* http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso - Seneca's mirror of the Fedora project. This is very fast, but is only accessible from within Seneca's network (you can't access this from home).#* http://get.fedoraproject.org - Accessible from any Internet connection.== Course Faculty ==
