Annotation -
The goal of the course is to acquaint students with the principles of UNIX and operating systems based on GNU/Linux. The course focuses primarily on the practical aspects of working in a UNIX-like environment and basic administration tasks. The graduates are expected to be capable of installing, configuring, and (with the use of scripting) effectively using tools and services that serve as the basis of a modern software development infrastructure.

Course completion requirements -

The final grade is based on the number of points gained from solving lab assignments and from a final test. Because this requires systematic work throughout the whole semester, it rules out any retakes. Specific conditions (amount of points, deadlines etc.) and individual tasks will be published on the course website.

In case of transition to a distant/hybrid mode of teaching, the final test (that is supposed to happen in person) will be replaced with a suitable alternative.
