Linux System Administration in 21 Days

Linux Systems Administrators, who work on Linux operating systems, configure, implement, and deploy systems and take care of security issues, besides managing system backups and adding and removing users. They will be part of a team that handles daily tickets and devises and implements technology solutions. They need to be good team players with excellent communication skills. Linux Systems Administrators also need to have an analytical bent of mind and competent problem-solving skills.
