A one day short course covering the set up
and use of two popular dedicated Linux Systems:
The Linux Terminal Server
The Linux Terminal server will allow networked
PC’s to act as Graphical or Character based terminals to a Unix/Linux
server. Since the client boots
over the network, the hard disk is not touched and doesn’t even need to be
present! This is a very simple and cost effective way of making Unix
'Thin Clients'
The
Linux Router
Linux Routers boot a simplified Linux System from
a floppy with facilities to act as a Network Router, DHCP server and Firewall.
This is ideal for people wishing to use this to serve a group of people
from a single broadband ADSL connection. Alternatively, organisations
wishing to partition their networks into a number of sub-nets can utilise
legacy PC's running the LRP to facilitate this.
This course can either be given as a standalone
one day event if the delegates are already Unix and Networking aware or as a
final day to our Linux/Unix Networking course.
