Aim: The student will get exposure to OS and networking concepts at
source code level. The student will become proficient in setting up
Servers, and workstations, configuring applications, and performing
system administration using FOSS components.
Reading MKS' mail (asking for suggestions for this syllabus), I thought
that this elective course would be more oriented towards the philosophy
behind FOSS (motivation) and techniques, tools, customs, culture, etc.
in a FOSS development environment, which may provide them with the urge
and skills to involve themselves in FOSS development. Of course, this
will also help them in whatever commercial job they get into.
The syllabus given here is also nice. But, in my personal opinion, it
may better be called a *system administration* course, since it is more
oriented towards _configuring_ certain applications/server/etc. Of
course, units like Linux OS Kernel, network programming, compiler design
and programming tools are interesting. But is the time enough ?
This is just my personal opinion.
