Linux System Administration — From First Login to Production Servers
Who it is for: IT staff, developers and business owners who look after Linux servers — or are about to.
What you will be able to do at the end:
- Work confidently at the shell on any Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat family server
- Manage users, permissions, packages, services, disks and logs
- Configure networking and a host firewall, and harden SSH
- Write Bash scripts and schedule them
- Troubleshoot a server that will not boot, is out of disk or is running slowly
