Course Description
The Bridging NetWare Skills to Novell Open Enterprise Server for Linux web-based course introduces students familiar with NetWare to Novell's newest network operating system Novell Open Enterprise Server for Linux. This course is designed to answer the question, “I know how to administer NetWare, how do I do the same tasks on Open Enterprise Server for Linux?”
The course includes presentations (printed and online, streaming video) and exercises that take you through the process of transitioning NetWare skills to Open Enterprise Server for Linux equivalent tasks. You are presented with common tasks and skills in NetWare and learn how to accomplish the same tasks and skills on Linux. The topics covered include deployment, file storage, print and web services, administration, and configuration.
