This course has three goals. First, to provide an overview of Unix as a programming environment. Second, to describe the tasks involved in administering UNIX. Third, to tour the Linux kernel. The first section includes a description of commands and utilities which support comparison, search, file management, and compilation. The administration portion reviews the tasks performed by the system administrator, including managing file systems, users, installing software packages and patches, system startup and shutdown, shell scripting, security, and backups/restores. The kernel tour includes kernel build/install, writing a command interpreter, and modifying/debugging the kernel.

Very very awesome that this was made a night class.  I'm strongly considering this one even though I don't really need it to graduate.

As of yet he has not been assigned an email address through the school. I would recommend contacting Dr. Bouvier if you have any additional questions.
