Annotation -

In this course, we will build a small computer network comprising several Linux servers on which we will run typical Linux services. We will learn how to not only build such an infrastructure but also how to keep it running and repair it when necessary. Prior knowledge equivalent to the NSWI177 course is assumed. The course is practically oriented and requires considerable effort and motivation.
