Hi, Is there already study material available?
Michael >>> Rodolfo Martínez<[email protected]> 19:35 Sun, Feb 7, 2010 >>> I agree with Jon You can set up almost any environment using virtualization. I've been a Linux workshop teacher for some years now and virtualization has been a crucial part for our sessions. Below is the virtual environment that I setup for every participant: Host server: Use it for any firewall / routing / network practices and testing. "Primary" Linux virtual instance: Acts as a primary server for all services (DNS, NIS, LDAP, etc). "Secondary" Linux virtual instance: Acts as a secondary/backup server for the services in the primary virtual server. "Client" Linux instance: Acts as a client for the configured services in the primary and secondary servers. "Client" Windows instance: Acts as a client for the configured services in the primary and secondary servers. Very useful for testing the Windows and Linux integration (LDAP, SAMBA, VPN, etc.) Regards Rodolfo Martínez On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 9:08 AM, Jon 'maddog' Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Marcus, > > A very good point about setting up your own server(s) using > virtualization to learn about systems administration. > > >The advantage is, that if your server is somewhere else you learn more > >about networks, routes etc. (which you should know from LPIC-1 anyway). > > Yes and no.
