1 Cisco Networking Academy Program Curriculum Scope & Sequence Fundamentals of UNIX version 2.0 (July, 2002) Course Description: Fundamentals of UNIX teaches you how to use the UNIX operating system and introduces you to the CDE, GNOME, and KDE graphical user interfaces (GUI). An overview of the Sun Solaris and Linux versions of the UNIX operating system is provided. The class is for new users of the UNIX operating environment. You will learn fundamental command-line features of UNIX including file system navigation, changing file permissions, the vi and emacs text editors, Korn and Bash shell features, and basic network use. GUI features include Application Managers, File Managers, Text Editors, printing, and mail. Chapter 1: The UNIX Computing Environment The Main Components of a Computer Main computer components Peripheral components Overview of Computer Operating Systems Desktop OSs, PCs, and workstations Network operating system capabilities Servers and the network environment The OS and CPU relationship Operating systems, hardware, and drivers Overview of the UNIX Operating System Brief history of UNIX UNIX varieties of Linux Benefits of UNIX and Linux The UNIX Operating Environment The OS and the kernel The OS shell The file system Graphical user interface (GUI) options Chapter 2: Accessing a System and UNIX Graphical Interfaces User Accounts Account types Login ID and password requirements Local and remote access Logging in and out using the CDE login screen 1-1 Fundamentals of Java Programming Lab Copyright 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc.
