Linux Systems Administration Certificate

The Linux Systems Administration Certificate series consists of four courses covering very beginning to advance system administration concepts, as well as using the CodeRunner open-source IDE with access to your own root server account.  Courses are delivered via the CodeRunner IDE and require only that you be online and able to use a browser.
Upon completion of this certificate program, you will be able to:

• Navigate the Linux file system and assign permissions to files and directories.
• Demonstrate how to find, grep, and regular expressions to search files and directories.
• Install SSH and use SCP.
• Create and manage system users.
• Configure and Ethernet device and DNS service from scratch.
• Create sendmail, aliases, and procmail filters to manage their own email server.
• Install their own Apache web server and configure it so that it can run in conjunction with PHP and postgreSQL.
• Create sed, awk, and shell scripts to perform basic system administration tasks to run commands, manipulate files, and rotate log files.

This series will enable you to garner the skills, experience and confidence needed to build, network, maintain, and automate complex Linux or Unix based systems.  Upon completion, not only will you have earned CEUs and a Certificate of Professional Development, but you will also have build your very own server network as part of your professional portfolio.
