Learn to use the Linux operating system and build a server in your own home.

Building your own server will take you behind the scenes on how an operating system really works. Using software which is 100% free, you will learn:

How to install, maintain and secure a working Linux server
What are the differences between the various Linux versions
How to use your server as a personal secure web server and file server, and where to get ideas for other uses for it
Key linux command line skills and how to put them to practical use
How to troubleshoot common problems as they happen

Using skills which are directly relevant to the workplace, you will learn how to monitor, secure and backup your own private server. The downloadable guides also provide a wealth of information for you to take away and study at your own pace.
