Zach Dennison's ePortfolio

This course will provide the student with a chance to explore an Open Source operating system technology. It will stress the use of command line in installing and configuring a Linux server. The student will develop skills in using command line maintenance of users, files, directories and permissions. The student will learn to create print servers, troubleshoot system problems, setup network connectivity and seamlessly integrate the Open Source server with Windows clients. This course will provide the student with online reference materials and hands-on exercises based on real world examples.

This was the first task for the course. The objectives of this task were to create a dual boot configuration with DOS and Linux, setup Linux with multiple partitions that have specific mount points, and load networking packages without rebooting the computer.

Here is the task sheet:

Prior to this course I had some experience using Linux so I was familiar with some of the concepts. I had used the command line to complete some tasks, so learning how to create partitions and edit files in the terminal didn't take very long for me. I really liked this course, and I feel that the concepts learned will be useful in the future.
