GNU CERTIFICATION
Level II: Core concepts and practices
designed to get you through the Sair/GNU
Linux certification program. This volume covers
the core concepts and practices part of the
exam, which is compulsory. The other volumes
deal with the three elective subjects, Apache
and Web servers (which we reviewed in Issue
15), Samba and resource sharing, and
Sendmail and mail systems.
The first part of the book contains a
detailed explanation of the core concepts,
covering installation and configuration, system
administration, networking and security. Part
two consists of labs and exercises. Each of the
twelve labs covers a different part of the core
concepts, starting with a step-by-step guide to
downloading and installing Debian; continuing
with partitioning and configuration; and
ending up with various exercises on security.
The final part of the book has practice
questions (multiple choice) with the answers
and a detailed glossary. This is intended as an
examination tutorial and revision guide and
so assumes basic knowledge from the reader,
although less common vocabulary is
explained in the glossary. The explanations
are clear and include some interesting
historical notes (such as the development of
the CPU) so that the examinee gains a good
background knowledge as well as the facts
necessary to do the job. URLs are given so
that any programs needed can be
downloaded. The book is written by the
team behind the certification program and
should have all you need to pass the core
concepts part of the exam.
