- Please, oh please, read this first (Otherwise, you will soon be very frustrated.)
As with many things, the best way to learn Unix is by trying it out. If you're currently taking a computer science class, we recommend you establish an ssh connection to weasel.aul.fiu.edu or any of the Linux boxes (e.g. havana, madrid, quebec, ocelot, paris - all of these end in aul.fiu.edu as well). In case that sounds Greek to you, click here to find out more about this. While you're at it, you might want to read the rest of that document as well, as it contains information on how to use this tutorial. In particular, if you have not already done so, you need to copy some files onto your U-drive, which are used in the examples we cover.
If you're not a computer science student or not taking a computer class right now, you can still ssh to solix.fiu.edu to get some hands-on experience. Please note that solix is not administrated by us, so we will not be able to help you with any solix-related questions.
Let's go!
