· Using Internet Explorer or Safari? Fix Tabs Now!
Most of the links in this course's web pages open a separate window, which you can close afterwards and return to the previous page.  Other web browsers, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera, conveniently open the links in new tabs, but Internet Explorer and Apple Safari don't.  By default,they open each link in a whole new window, cluttering your desktop. So, make them open the links in new tabs like other browsers by using the instructions in the links above.

Welcome to online Introduction to UNIX & Linux!  This is actually a single combined classroom/online course, but with multiple section numbers, either designated "online" or "lecture."  However, it doesn't matter which section number you enrolled in.  They're all the same -- taught in a classroom and online, at the same time: your instructor broadcasts the classroom lectures live on the web, and later puts recordings of the lectures on the Modules page of your course material on the Cisco Networking Academy site. You may attend either way at any time, including coming to the classroom one week and attending online the next, either live or recorded.  Here's how to get started:

  1. Log in to the Cisco Networking Academy, which contains the course material.
    1. If you already have a Cisco Networking Academy or Cisco Netspace account from a previous course, please use that user name and password to log in.
    2. If you do not have a previous Cisco Networking Academy account, look for a course invitation email. You may see a Subject line containing "Cisco NetSpace Login Information". Follow the directions to establish your user name and password. If you do not find an invitiation email, even in your Junk or Spam folder, please contact your intstructor immediately.
  2. Read the Syllabus.
  3. Read the Assignments & Exams Schedule.
  4. Obtain a new account on the Student server student.santarosa.edu.  See Student Server Account Application below.
  5. Get a secure terminal program, so you can work at the Student server's Linux command line. 
  6. Go through the Blackboard Collaborate Setup Guide, to prepare yourself and your computer for the online live and recorded lectures.
  7. In the Cisco Networking Academy course material, open the Modules section for the assignments, live broadcasts, and the lecture recordings as they are posted.

Student Server Account Application

As part of your work, you will use a remote Linux command line to the SRJC Student server.  The Student server assigns you a user name and password.
