Performing the Exercises
The 3060 course exercises often contain invaluable procedures and tips from our Novell experts to help you with the practical implementation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The skills introduced in the exercises are critical for preparing to perform basic administrative tasks with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and are recommended for passing the CompTIA Linux+ certification.
While the exercises in the workbook are the same as those included in the Course 3060 manual, they contain modifications and notes to help you perform the exercises on a single computer without relying on an instructor SLES 9 server (required in a classroom setting).
Performing the exercises requires 2 to 3 hours to set up a practice environment, instructions provided in the workbook introduction, a SLES 9 VMware Server DVD, a 3060 Course CD, and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 CDs (CD 1–CD 6). The DVD and CDs required total close to 10 GB, making it difficult (or impossible for some) to download over the Internet.
For these reasons, and because we want you to have a successful and productive experience (with the appropriate support for setup), we do not include downloads of the DVD and CDs necessary for performing the exercises.
If you are interested in completing the exercises outside a classroom, you can purchase a Course 3060 Self-Study Kit, which includes printed manuals, setup instructions, and all the CDs and DVDs you need to set up your own practice environment and complete the exercises. Most importantly, Global Training Services support is included with your purchase to help you with any problems you might have setting up the practice environment or completing the exercises.
Where can I purchase a 3060 Course Self-Study Kit? To purchase a 3060 Course Self-Study Kit, visit our Getting Started With Linux: Novell's Guide to CompTIA's Linux+ web page, and select the Buy Self-Study -> button.
