    Starting level and linkage with other courses
    No need to know Linux before. We'll learn it all in 8 weeks!

    You should know the basics of computer use with a computer you already have. For example, searching the web when you have a problem, being able to install a virtual machine with instructions etc. These things are taught in the first orientation courses, but no specific courses are required prerequisites.

    Material and teaching is in English.

    Assessment criteria
    Assessment criteria - grade 1
    Can install the most common servers with detailed instructions. Can follow minimal security practices (good passwords everywhere, keeping systems updated...). Has made serious attempt on all homework tasks and documented the result, even though some subtasks can remain unsolved. Documentation refers to sources and contains enough detail to see that the it reports actual tests done on a computer.
    Assessment criteria - grade 3
    Meets criteria of previous levels.

    Could manage a couple of servers with support from a professional. Reports are easy to follow, repeatable and detailed. References are clear. Obligatory homework is solved at latest after the class where the solution has been discussed.
    Assessment criteria - grade 5
    Meets criteria of previous levels.

    Could manage small number of typical Linux servers as a junior sysop at work. Can apply skills to new servers, versions and situations also in cases not directly handled in class. Homework reports are well structured and show systematic approach to problem solving. Reports could help others to understand the tasks described.
