No matter your skill level, you can learn the basics of working with UNIX/Linux at the command line as a non-privileged user. This is a practical, hands-on workshop. Topics include: navigating the file system, viewing and manipulating directories, files, symlinks, permissions, login shells, and more. A simple server will be running for participants to login into with SSH. Individuals using computers running a Microsoft Windows operating system should download and install the PuTTY SSH software ahead of time. Individuals who register for this session may navigate to the IT Staff Development Box folder (may require login) for details on how to download.
As a hands-on workshop session, we strongly recommended individuals bring a laptop to participate in the hands-on activities, however a laptop is not required to attend the learning session.
