Solaris Fundamentals 


			COURSE DESCRIPTION
				
	This course teaches the basic working environment of a Solaris system.
	It introduces commonly required operations that can be performed by
    	entering commands interactively in a command terminal, along with
    	functions available in the Java Desktop Environment (JDS).  This
    	course is taught for the following platforms: Solaris Sparc and 
	Solaris x86/x64.


			COURSE OBJECTIVES

    	Each participant will be able to use Korn Shell techniques and
    	commands to maintain collections of files, create files using
    	interactive editor utilities, create and execute basic command
   	procedures, communicate with other users, and tailor the interactive
    	environment to meet their needs.  Environment control using the JDS
	graphical utilities will also be shown.
