Backup & Restore |
Originally designed for XWN-740, this document
formed the basis of a class presentation on the subject
of Disaster Recovery. (This document also includes a
link to an email message received from Enhanced Software
Technologies - the BRU folks) |
|
What goes on here? |
This document deals with comparative techniques for User
Administration. Perhaps more important than that singular
exercise in particular, this document demonstrates an important
concept. There are often alternative ways of doing things in
Unix. You need to know what's going on regardless of
which tool you use. |
|
Basic Installation and concepts |
This document, which needs to be revisited, addresses
Linux installation issues that arose in SYA-710. There's
a good deal of conceptual stuff here. |
|
Public Key Encryption |
It's a challenge. The whole concept of encryption/decryption
suggests "secrecy". Yet this technique is quite open about
how it works... and yet it does! |
|
The Unix File System |
This document never got terribly far off the ground. I lacked
proper focus. After a certain point, I realized I didn't
really know the proper direction in which to take it. I
also ran out of available time. |
|
Standard input, output and pipes |
This document explores the Unix mantra of Do one thing and do
it well. stdin, stdout and pipes are the glue that
makes it all come together. |
|
Creating a CDROM image |
This document describes the process of burning a CDROM. |
|
The Apache Web Server |
This document describes what a daemon is, what a web server does
and (once I get it written) some particulars of the Apache
Web Server. |
|
LILO, partitioning, multiple OSs |
There are 2 documents here.
-
The first is the more conceptual approach. It describes
LILO and how to go about putting multiple operating systems on
the same computer.
-
The second discusses more specific nuts and bolts issues
having to do with Linux and Windows dual-boot.

Building a new kernel |
This document was almost entirely written by Jerry Lue,
SYA810 instructor. Thanks Jerry! |
|
Understanding how IP networks are defined |
There are over 4 billion IP addresses. This document attempts
to explain how the Internet -- a network of networks -- carves
up networks, and how you, as a System Administrator
create your own sub-networks.

|
When all hell breaks loose. |
You just booted up the machine. There are disk errors all
over the place. What do you do?
