Hey guys and gals, I have an idea to what topics should be discussed during the Trainors' Training. Below is the so-called course outline for the Trainors' Training: 1. Hardware and Installation (x86 only) - Hardware compatibility - CPU and SMP support - New hardware detection - Plug and play - Serial and parallel ports - Block and other devices - Disk addressing and partitioning - Peripheral devices and their configuration - The boot process - IRQs and IRQ settings - Disk subsystems (IDE, EIDE, SCSI) 2. Linux Basic Concept - Basic text editor usage (vim, pico, joe, emacs, etc.) - Opening, closing, writing and abandoning files - Text editing 3. Linux Filesystem Hierarchy and Structure - Linux filesystems - SCSI, floppy, CD-ROM, and IDE devices - Referencing /dev devices - ISA and PCI hardware issues - Filesystem formatting and checking, fdisk, mkfs, fsck - Span multiple partitions with root filesystem - Mount misc partitions with mount 4. Basic File Operations and Manipulation - Basics: cp, mv, ls, more, less, cd, pwd, tar, find, etc. - Filters: cat, grep, egrep, wc, cat, tail, head, sort, etc. - Filename wildcards: *, ?, [], etc. 5. Linux Shell - Shell programming - Piping, I/O and error redirection - Script execution and permissions - Variables and parameters - The inherited environment 6. Configuration and Administration - Reconfiguring installed options - Networking, sound, and user authorization configuration - File systems and /etc/fstab - RPM and Debian package management - Printing: lpq, lprm, lpr, and adding local and remote printers - Virtual consoles - Administering user accounts and groups - cron and anacron - locate and tmpwatch - System logging - Daemons - Superuser - Syslogd and logging - Backup and restore tasks - Control of network services and daemons - System crontab - Using and managing the system log files - System backup and restore operations 7. Kernel Services and Configuration - The /proc filesystem - /proc/sys configuration with sysctl - Linux quota system - Understanding /etc/inittab - Managing System V initialization scripts - Software RAID configuration - Configuring, compiling and installing the Linux kernel - LILO map installer 8. X Window System - The X server - X clients/window managers - X font server - Display managers - XFree86 startup - The Gnome and KDE environments - Remote display of X applications - X security 9. User and Host Security - Security concepts - Shadow passwords - File permissions - Understanding users, groups and umask - Suid - Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) - Network Information Service - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) - The xinetd super-server and tcp_wrappers - ssh: secure shell, telnet and remote copy - Other packages for security 10. Linux Networking - IP numbers and classes - The network address, broadcast address and subnet mask - Tools and commands: ping, ifconfig, netstat - Name resolution configuration: /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/host.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf 11. Routers, Firewalls, Clusters and Troubleshooting - Static and dynamic routes - Linux as a router and firewall - iptables, NAT and firewall rules - IP masquerading - Cluster configuration and daemons - High availability clustering with load balancing - Simple failover service - High performance clustering - Troubleshooting - Rescue environment utilities 12. Standard Networking Services - NFS and remote filesystems - Postfix and QMail - POP and IMAP - FTP - DNS + Bind - DHCP - Samba - httpd and Apache - YP, NIS - Squid - xinetd HTH.
