[Dave Nelson - Educational Services Manager]

Course:       EU-115
              Productivity Skills for Your Sun Workstation

Duration:     3 days

Description:  

This course improves workstation skills and helps students become more
self-sufficient workstation users.  We emphasize practical skills and
extensive hands-on training.  You'll learn how to personalize your desktop
environment and improve proficiency and productivity.

The course teaches you how to personalize the SunView window system and
the C shell to reflect the needs of your work environment; edit files
using the SunView TextEditor, personalize your Mail Tool and create local
and public mail-distribution lists using network services to access and
share information between remote systems; and protect your files,
directories and workstation from unauthorized access by other users.  The
course also covers basic workstation administration topics such as:
properly booting and shutting down your workstation, performing disk
backups, accessing remote printers, and automating routine workstation
administrative tasks.

This is not a system administration course. However, it does cover
networking, workstation security, and administration issues that benefit
Sun workstation users. This course is for users who want to gain greater
independence from their system administrators. This class is not for
beginning SunOS users; nor is it a substitute for the SunOS for Users
course.
