As a Linux-based operating system, Ubuntu is an alternative to MacOS or Windows. It is widely used on server infrastructure and amongst the scientific community. Especially, when you want to work with remote research servers or databases, you might need to know your way around the Linux command line.
At the end of this workshop, you will:
> have a basic understanding of the Ubuntu operating system
> be able to use SSH to log into a remote computer
> be able to work with files and folders
> be able to manage users and permissions
> be able to install and update software
Pre-requisites? None. The workshop will use a virtual Linux environment on our classroom computers. If you want to use your own laptop, please have Ubuntu installed (there is an easy to install dual boot option for Windows computers).
