Introduction
Welcome to my SYS140 wiki! This page contains my labs and documentation from Champlain College's SYS-140: Systems Fundamentals class. These tech journals contain my notes from class and write-ups for lab assignments.
Course Description
From the syllabus: "This course will introduce students to operating system concepts and other forms of systems software. Students will learn about standard operating systems functional components such as memory, process/thread, file system, input/output, storage and device management. Additional topics include data representation, imaging, virtualization, and the history/future of systems software. Hands-on experiential learning will be used to reinforce concepts."
Course Outcomes
- Explain the functions an operating system performs.
- Perform standard operating system systems administration functions.
- Compare and contrast operating systems.
- Describe the function and purpose of various systems software.
- Explain virtualization and the relationship with the operating system and hardware.
- Install, implement, and troubleshoot system software.
- Describe the concepts of imaging and deployment.
- Explain file system formats.
- Use appropriate data representation and conversions.
