GNU/Linux systems have reached a level of maturity that allows to integrate them in almost any kind of work environment, from mobile phones to server farms.
The contents of the module "The GNU/Linux operating system", of which this book is the main documentation, are mostly related to systems administration. Students will learn how to install, configure and optimise a GNU/Linux operating system and the most widely used computer services.
During this course students will engage in practical activities related to these topics, applying them in real GNU/Linux systems.
