Part 3. Home system admin on Linux

 

This third and final part of Learn Linux in a Month of Lunches shows you how to be a system administrator for your home Linux setup. This section is all about taking care of your system, just like SysAdmins do, but on a much smaller and more manageable level. You’ll learn how to keep your system up-to-date, how to set up printing, and basic networking concepts. This section is your advanced Linux class. In this final section, you’ll learn about:

  • Package management
  • Updating your operating system
  • Linux security
  • Connecting to other computers
  • Printing (a surprisingly interesting chapter!)
  • Collaboration using version control
