The LINUX workshop is in a lab setting, with one computer for every attendee.  Attendance is limited to 10 attendees for a workshop.  There will be some refreshments.  Lunch is on your own.  A notebook of materials will be provided.  There is free parking.

 This workshop will provide hands-on training on how to setup a Linux based network for SOHO environments. The same principle can also be used for larger enterprise level networks. In the SOHO environment, a single Linux machine can be used as a proxy server to connect to the Internet through dialup connection and provide transparent access to the Internet for machines in the office network

 At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
    · Install Linux on the hardware of their choice
            (during the workshop only Intel platforms will be used)
    · Compile a customized kernel for their Linux server
    · Setup dialup connection to the Internet
    · Setup Windows 95/98 client machines to use the Linux server as an Internet gateway
    · Setup Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
    · Setup Domain Name System (DNS) server
    · Setup Demand dialup Internet access
    · Setup Win95/98 file server using SMB (Session Message Block) protocol.

 During the installation of Linux, a Web server, FTP server, and mail server will also be setup automatically.

 The workshop will be presented by Professor Nazmul Ula. He is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Loyola Marymount University. He has been using the Linux operating system for more than seven years, and has done system administration for a number of UNIX operating systems including AIX, Ultrix, SunOS,  Solaris and Linux. He is also system administrator for a number of NT servers. Professor Ula has installed Linux on more than 300 computers and has installed Linux based networks in both SOHO and academic environments. He is the technical advisor for IQube - a commercial Linux based network solution provider. Linux is a hobby of Professor Ula.
