Using Linux Commands To Do Linux System Administration Tasks and To Manage a Linux System
Linux commands are used to do Linux system administration "on" Linux "server systems", such as Linux web servers, print servers, ftp servers, email servers, dns servers and dhcp servers (to name a few).
Linux commands are also used to do
Linux system administration on Linux desktop systems (a.k.a. Linux workstations), such as the Linux systems that are being used for daily office productivity tasks.
These Linux desktop systems are being used to run popular Linux software programs, like the free Open Office Suite of programs (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base) and thousands of other free Linux software programs. These Linux workstation and desktop systems are used in offices, including home offices, and by home users!
Linux commands are used on millions of Linux server and desktop systems to quickly and easily do Linux system administration tasks, to administer and manage a Linux system.
Tasks Commonly Performed Using Linux Commands:
Linux commands allow you to do all of the system administration tasks required, such as:
create directories (a.k.a. folders) to organize software program files and data files
manage user data files by copying, moving, and deleting them
install Linux software programs on Linux desktop systems and server systems
create users and assign users various permissions to directories on a Linux system
do troubleshooting on a Linux system to resolve technical support problems
run diagnostics tests to ensure that a Linux system is working properly
manage the day-to-day operation of various types of Linux server systems
and many other Linux system administration and Linux system management tasks
