Overall objective: After attending this track, participants will be able to install, upgrade, secure and competently manage the Unix operating system on standard PC hardware, and use it to provide essential Internet services on a network. It is aimed at participants who are technically competent but may have had little or no prior exposure to the Unix environment.
In addition they will be taught concepts such as:
 Basic Internet Protocols and how they work
 Some basic Internet services and how they function, including
DNS, Web, SSH and E-mail
 Designing installations for long- term scalability of services
Who should apply
All North African women engineers, Software Developers and Systems Administrators with a desire to get Unix Administration skills. There is limited funding available and priority will be given to applicants from the following countries: Morocco, Tunisia,
Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Egypt,
Sudan.
Pre-requisites:
Experience in managing PCs and installing software (such as installing the 'Windows' operating system), but not necessarily Unix.
Some prior Unix/Linux experience would be of great benefit.
