In order to gain a more holistic understanding of Linux, it’s crucial for system administrators to understand the mechanics of the operating system at its core-the Linux kernel. In this course, learn how to manage

Linux kernels

on CentOS 7, and manage the GRUB boot loader, system initialization, and system logging. Grant McWilliams explains how to fix a Linux installation issue by booting into the emergency target, and shows how to leverage systemd to help maintain system services.

He goes into Linux kernel versions, and shows how to update the kernel and manage kernel modules.

To wrap up, he covers system logging, explaining how to search and rotate log files, make journald logs persistent, and use rsyslog filters.

Linux instabilities are frustrating, and they can stem from many causes. In this course, you’ll learn how to manage Linux kernel versions on a CentOS 7 server, and troubleshoot system initialization problems like the Grub boot loader.

Grant McWilliams also shows how to manage system logging with journald, syslog-ng, and rsyslog.

To close out the course

, you’ll learn about rotating log files on your CentOS 7 server as well as searching and rotating logs with rsyslog.

Linux Kernels is a two-part series that discusses the basics of running Linux and managing booting, logging, and other system management tools.

The first course explains how to manage a Linux installation from the command line, and in the second course, Grant McWilliams demonstrates how to use systemd to help maintain system services. It’s an in-depth look at Linux system administration.

With the Linux kernel and GRUB, you can manage the system initialization, system logon events, and other tasks. Kernel versions are not consistent, so updating software packages can be difficult to manage. This course explains how to update the Linux kernel and manage modules. You’ll find out what system logs should look like, as well as how to rotate logs with many different methods.

You may have heard that Linux is better than Windows, but what do you actually know about it? This course will equip you with the skills to manage Linux system administration and repair problems in your own Linux installation.

You’ll learn how to install, configure and update applications on CentOS 7. Grant McWilliams walks through every step of the process, from installing a desirable application to configuring permissions and adding user accounts.

You’ll also learn how to use systemd, along with its advanced features such as append to bootloader and boot recording.
