Linux System Administration beyond the GUI
A tutorial by Tobias Oetiker
With the arrival of more and more sophisticated Linux distros, it is now
possible to administrate a Linux box almost exclusively with GUI tools.
Never the less, the command line is still where all the power resides. In
this tutorial you will learn about Linux command line tools and tricks and
pitfalls that make you more powerful and effective when administrating a
Linux box.
Attendees are expected to have worked with Linux.
