Linux is a powerful open-source operating system that has emerged as the platform of choice for high-performance computing resources worldwide.  The Research Computing Center (RCC) is offering an Introduction to Linux for Non-Linux Users workshop that will give participants who have never worked with Linux the fundamental skills necessary for interacting with a Linux-based computer such as those provided by RCC.  While the skills learned in this workshop will be transferable to any Linux system, particular focus will be given to using RCC’s Midway compute cluster. Topics covered will include navigating the file system, transferring files to and from Linux systems, editing and creating new text files, running programs on the command line, and basic bash scripting.


Prerequisites:

Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop to participate in the hands-on session
