Go to one of the Math/CS labs (CMC304 and CMC306 are the two we use most often in CS classes) and choose a computer. All of the Math/CS computers are set up to allow you to boot into either Windows XP or Linux. For this class, you will be using Linux. If the computer you choose is showing a Linux login screen, go ahead and log in using your usual Carleton user name and password. Otherwise, restart the computer and choose Linux when you're given a choice.
Once you have logged in to your Linux account, work through Typographical Conventions, Introduction to the UNIX Operating System, and Tutorials 1-4 of this UNIX tutorial from the University of Surrey.
Bring questions to class on Wednesday.
There is nothing to hand in for this assignment.
