Analytical system administration - course aims
The aim of this course is to provide a deeper
perspective on systems and their administration, not merely from a
practical viewpoint, but also from a broader theoretical and cultural
viewpoint. Only such a background can stimulate research and creative
solution in the future. The course places system administration
in the contexts of other subjects.
The course is based on the book
Analytical Network and System Administration, Mark Burgess, J. Wiley & Sons 2004.
