Projects

Week 2

I hope everyone took the time to read through the Mages book- and are increasingly convinced that is is “the best course you've ever taken”.
The first project is due before it becomes Thursday. There are several actions you need to perform, so be sure that you tend to them.
- Remember that there's a 25% late penalty per day! So don't procrastinate.
Just to be clear, I do expect you to send an introduction message to the class mailing list after you've subscribed. Not very many (one, at the time of writing) have done this so far.
- If you're holding off to increase your chances of reception (good catch!) please be sure to do the deed before Thursday. Those who miss out, miss out. Their loss.
The next project, arc0, has been released, putting many of your newfound skills to the test.

Welcome! I've wrapped all the initial activities into one project, uxi0, that I'd like you to perform by the given deadline (by 11:59:59pm / 23:59:59).
On Lab46, we'll be getting familiar with logging into the pod systems, and once there:
- opening up a terminal
- logging that terminal onto Lab46 for class work and in-class attendance
Get familiar with how to log onto Lab46, and once on:
- change your password to something more preferable
- start working on the labs and other class activities
- start exploring
Be sure to do the reading (located in the individual labs below)! There may be many pages, but there are many concepts to encounter.
The following labs are now available for you to work through:
- Lab 0x0: Introduction to UNIX/Linux and Lab46 (complete by 20150128)
- Lab 0x1: Basic Utilities and their manual pages (complete by 20150128)
- Lab 0x2: Files and Directories (complete by 20150204)
