Introduction to Linux Steve Bogol [email protected] Part I What is Linux? Linux Mainstream Video Linux Nutshell What is Linux? ● A free operating system created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. ● Based off of Unix using GNU tools and a kernel made by Linus. ● Originally called “Freax” (“free” + “freak” + “X”). ● More focused on multiple users than a single user (Windows/Mac). ● Traditionally command line primary and GUI secondary. ● Free to change and redistribute the changed version. Distributions (distros) Wikipedia: A Linux distribution (often called a distro for short) is an operating system made from a software collection, which is based upon the Linux kernel and, often, a package management system. Top 10 Distributions ...according to distrowatch.com 1. Linux Mint 2. Ubuntu 3. Debian 4. Mageia 5. Fedora 6. OpenSuSE 7. Arch Linux 8. CentOS 9. PCLinuxOS 10. Slackware Evolution of a Distro What Do Supercomputers Use? www.top500.org What does the CRC use? Mostly A few One (my desktop) End Part I Disclaimer: Might not be real. Part II Using Linux Demo Basics, Hints, & Tips Shells What is a shell? “Simply put, the shell is a program that takes your commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system to perform. In the old days, it was the only user interface available on a Unix computer. Nowadays, we have graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in addition to command line interfaces (CLIs) such as the shell.” -- linuxcommand.org ● CRC defaults your shell to tcsh. ● The most common shell is bash, which is the default on the majority of distros. ● Even though your CRC account defaults to tcsh, the bash shell is installed. ● You can request your default shell to be bash by emailing [email protected] and politely asking for your default shell to be switched to bash. Connecting to a Remote Server ● Connect using a SSH client. ● A SSH client is standard on a Mac and Linux OS. ● Windows users have to install a SSH client such as Putty. Live Demo Topics ● man ● > and >> ● ls ● chmod ● tab complete ● less ● cd ● find ● mkdir ● scp ● touch ● clear ● cp ● reset ● mv ● wget (curl -o) ● rm ● sudo ● ! ● su ● !$ ● ping ● history ● host ● vi ● which ● view ● for ● cat ● env ● grep ● variables ● | (pipe) ● (x windows) ● echo ● alias FIN Any Questions?.

Article, Written by Wobo in Early October 2010, Published in Print in Linux User, Issue # 11/2010 (In German)
Article, written by wobo in early October 2010, published in print in Linux User, issue # 11/2010 (in German) (translated to English for Mageia by wobo) Introduction Numerous economical problems in the French company Mandriva SA have finally been answered by the community: former employees and free developpers have decided to build a plattform to continue the development of the distribution as a free and open community project. Article The 19th September marked a turning point in the history of the Distribution currently known as Mandriva Linux: Several former employees of Mandriva SA announced the intention to found a nonprofit organization that wishes to continue the distribution Mandriva Linux in a fork as a community project [1 ]. The reasons for this step go back to the year 2005: at that time the newcomer Ubuntu appeared on the scene simultaneously with the restructuring of the ailing Mandriva SA (see box of MandrakeSoft to Mandriva on the next spread). While this newcomer gained more and more popularity Mandriva failed to start a positive trend in its business and critical voices in the community arose about the Mandriva management. Mandriva©s business and communication policy met a rising reluctance of users and free developers. A key moment in this crisis was certainly the lay-off of company co-founder Gael Duval, along with popular community leaders (like Adam Williamson) and well known freelancers [2]. Downward trend Despite numerous cuts in various business areas the decline of Mandriva SA continued unabated. In spring 2010 the company was on the brink of bankruptcy and started initial negotiations with interested buyers.

To synergize such developments the CEPC [1], CLIC [2], 15 FCC [3], ILC [4], and SCT [5], communities have started the creation of a “Turnkey Software Stack” 16 (Key4hep), which would provide all the necessary ingredients, from simulation to analysis, for future 17 experiments. This approach is based on the positive experience of the linear collider projects ILC 18 and CLIC, that have developed and used a common software stack iLCSoft [6] over the last decade. 19 This would cover most if not all future linear and circular machines colliding electrons, muons and 20 hadrons. The software stack will facilitate writing specific components for experiments ensuring co- 21 herency and maximising the re-use of established packages to benefit from existing solutions and 22 community developments, for example, ROOT, Geant4, DD4hep, Gaudi and podio.
