We're now reaching a point where we can enjoy more and more of the thought-provoking gifts the class can offer. To reward you, one of the more acclaimed projects is on the docket for this week– THE PUZZLE BOX
The puzzle box is only as challenging as you make it. That said, it has been QUITE challenging for some people. Others have it solved and submitted in mere minutes.
The key is OBSERVATION. The less observant you are, the more challenging this project becomes.
We finished our file system exploration, took a look at manual pages, and began looking more at I/O manipulation. We'll be continuing that, along with exploring file permissions and some other shell bits.
Week 2
After getting through the introductory motions, we're starting on actually getting on the system, learning some commands, and better understanding our environment.
navigating our home directories
navigating the filesystem
getting a feel for its overall organization, categorization of data
listing directories
file ownership, permissions
the overall theme will be file navigation and manipulation
