This intermediate workshop is aimed at those wishing to progress towards achieving the skills needed to maintain and manage a GNU/Linux server. On completion, Delegates will be able to create a structured server capable of supporting multiple users, at various levels of security, through local or remote logins or through an intranet set-up under Apache. They will be able to configure a file and printserver for cross-platform use, and learn how to automate maintenance by creating timed events. This workshop covers some elements included in the Linux Professional Institute's (LPI) Levels One and Two courses.
