== Linux/Unix System Administration (LUX) - 1 Year Graduate Certificate ==
There are ten courses in this program. Half of each course is spent gaining practical, hands-on experience with Linux systems in our fully-equipped Linux lab. A co-op option is also available so that students can gain valuable job experience.
== Semester 1 Curriculum People==
== Communications ==
LUX students communicate using the tools created and embraced by open source communities, including [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki wikis], [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/~chris.tyler/planet/ planets], and [[Irc|IRC channels]]. For information on using these tools, see [[LUX Communication]].
== Major Project ==
LUX students will work on a major project within the [[Fedora]] community. For details, see [[LUX Project]].
== Facilities ==
The LUX program uses these two rooms:
* SEQ building room S2149 for lectures.
* TEL building room T2107 for labs. These systems are equipped with data recovery cards, which allow one of several virtual disk drives to be selected at boot time. When the machine is restarted, the original drive image can be restored almost instantly. This enables you to install software or change the system configuration without permanently affecting the system configuration.
In addition, LUX students have access to the [[CDOT Development Systems]] on the first floor of the TEL building for their project work (access cards will be issued to each LUX student).
