invites women engineers from Southern Africa to participate in an intensive
Unix System Administration workshop.

*Workshop goals and outline*

install, upgrade, secure and competently manage the Unix operating system
on standard PC hardware, and use it to provide essential Internet services
on a network. It is aimed at students who are technically competent but
may have had little or no prior exposure to the Unix environment.

*In addition they will be taught concepts such as:*

#  Basic Internet Protocols and how they work
# Some basic Internet services and how they function, including DNS, Web,
SSH and E-mail
# Designing installations for long-term scalability of services

*Who should apply:*
All Southern African women enginers and systems administrators with a desire
to get Unix Administration skills.

Due to funding availability, priority will be given to applicants from the

Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Seychelles,
Zambia, Zimbabwe

*Prerequisites*:
Experience in managing PCs and installing software (such as installing the
