This tutorial aims to train system administrators in order to give them skills to install, configure and manage a complete Grid node using gLite 3.x. This tutorial is first open for EMBRACE project's sys admin but is also open to other projects.
In order to better appreciate the arguments covered in this tutorial basic knowledge of Linux user environment (Shell, SSH) are requested by each trainee. Basic knowledge of grid elements, job submission and basic data management is not mandatory but appreciated.
