= 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''.

In this course:* As a system administrator, you will move from being be responsible for installing, configuring, adjusting, maintaining, and troubleshooting the operation of computer systems. This is a Linux ''user'' lot of responsibility, and with that responsibility comes power. You will be able to being a Linux ''administrator''change anything on the system, and you will also have the ability to damage or destroy the system.

Tips and suggestions:* Always shut down your system under software controlLater courses (OPS335 and OPS435) teach you to administer Linux servers (web servers, rather than using the reset or power buttons. You can shutdown using the GUI or with the <code>poweroff</code>DNS servers, <code>reboot</code>FTP servers, <code>init</code>, or <code>shutdown</code> commands.* If you get a message about the gnomefile sharing servers) -power-manager configuration at the login screen, you may have run out of disk space. Take a look at the available space (with <code>df -h</code>). If the <code>/</code> filesystem is full, delete some files (such as unused VM images in <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images</code>) and then reboot the to use more complex Python scripting to boost your systemadministration efficiency.
