The only official lab companion to be used within the Fundamentals of Unix Networking Academy course
Lab Companion provides students the opportunity for hands-on activities
Labs map to the most current version of the online course
Labs developed by the course developers and subject matter experts
The lab manual and course address the demand for Information technology professionals with UNIX training and experience. This course offers an introduction to the UNIX operating system, and provides a strong foundation for those who wish to move on to more advanced courses in UNIX system administration such as the IT Essentials II: Network Operating Systems course. This manual is the lab activities book for a one-semester course on UNIX Fundamentals, and the course and book are both co-sponsored by Sun Microsystems. A primary focus of the Fundamentals of UNIX, Second Edition is on the Linux operating system, a popular variant of UNIX. Linux has been integrated into every chapter of the Second Edition while maintaining compatibility with the Fundamentals of UNIX course. The second edition describes general Linux characteristics and covers some of the key basic objectives of the CompTIA Linux+ exam. Students will become familiar with powerful UNIX command line utilities as well as the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and GNOME graphical user interfaces. The manual provides some new generic UNIX information on subjects such as the Emacs editor, working with disks and CDs, advanced string searching, Bash shell features and customization, etc. that will be reflected in the up-to-date labs. A new lab on shell scripting has been added.
