Course detail
Network Operating systems
FEKT-BSOSAcad. year: 2012/2013
The Network Operating Systems course is divided into several parts. The first part deals with an overview of operating systems, architectures, processes and threads, memory management, and file systems. The second part focuses on network communication, network services, and network tools. The last part of the course deals with the security of operating systems.
Practicals include: command processor, monolithic kernel, dynamic kernel modules, network configuration, remote access and file transfer, communication tools, network services, network start of operating system, user administration, and firewall configuration.
