Linux Technology

CompTIA Linux+ 2005 Course
Linux Technology Overview
The CompTIA Linux+2005 certification is an international industry credential that validates the knowledge of individuals with at least six months of practical Linux experience. Professionals who want to certify their technical knowledge in basic installation, operation and troubleshooting for Linux operating systems should consider this certification.
As a CompTIA Linux+ certified individual you will have the knowledge to implement security options on client systems, configure security-related files, and grasp common security practices. In addition, they will have the knowledge necessary to determine installation methods, select appropriate settings, protocols, and software packages. The individual has demonstrated proficiency in everyday management of Linux-based clients and basic management of server systems.
The CompTIA Linux+ exam covers approximately 90 percent of the problems that computer technicians, help desk staff and system administrators routinely encounter today with commercial Linux applications from Novell's SUSE Linux, Red Hat, Mandrake, and TurboLinux.
CompTIA Linux+ Certification
The skills and knowledge measured by this examination were developed with global input to assure accuracy, validity and reliability. Earning the CompTIA Linux+ designation means that the candidate can explain fundamental open source resources/licenses, demonstrate knowledge of user administration, understand file permissions/software configurations and manage local storage devices and network protocols.
Because Linux, by its nature, is vendor-independent, there was a strong need in the industry for a basic, comprehensive Linux certification. Becoming CompTIA Linux+ certified gives an individual a recognized industry credential that offers proof of knowledge and expertise in Linux technologies. This certification also provides a path to a variety of fulfilling and challenging Linux-related careers.

Operating Systems

Operating Systems
An operating system is a layer of software which takes care of technical aspects of a computer's operation. It shields the user of the machine from the low-level details of the machine's operation and provides frequently needed facilities. There is no universal definition of what an operating system consists of. You can think of it as being the software which is already installed on a machine, before you add anything of your own.
Normally the operating system has a number of key elements: a technical layer of software for driving the hardware of the computer, like disk drives, the keyboard and the screen; a filesystem which provides a way of organizing files logically, and a simple command language which enables users to run their own programs and to manipulate their files in a simple way. Some operating systems also provide text editors, compilers, debuggers and a variety of other tools. Since the operating system (OS) is in charge of a computer, all requests to use its resources and devices need to go through the OS.
Operating System Courses
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, UNIX, Linux
We have courses that cover the individual Operating systems. These courses are ideal for individuals who are looking to enhance their knowledge and get some hands-on interactive training without having to disrupt the way their PC is set-up or for IT professionals who require specific training in specific Operating system technologies. All courses come with manuals.
