[12:00pm] SS2010 Preschool: Introduction to Linux

Speaker: Isaac Ye

This seminar serves as an introduction to Linux, the UNIX-like operating system that runs on all SHARCNET systems, intended for users who have little or no experience with UNIX or Linux. We will consider essential materials related to coping with the Linux command-line environment, necessary for successful use of the SHARCNET envrionment, including basic commands for file/directory management, text editors, etc.

Although aimed at attendees of the upcoming Summer School, any interested SHARCNET member is welcome to this seminar.

shortly before the talk is scheduled to begin (note: you do not need to pre-register in order to attend). We ask that you use your SHARCNET username as your nickname for the session as it helps us keep track of who was there. The DimDim software is capable of 2-way audio and video (although audio and video of attendees is typically kept off until needed to minimize technical issues), and can share the presentation and desktop of the presenter. Additional information regarding DimDim can be found in our online training centre: https://www.sharcnet.ca/help/index.php/Attending_SHARCNET_Webinars.
