· Using Internet Explorer? Fix Tabs Now!
Most of the links in this course's web pages open a separate window, which you can close afterwards and return to the previous page.  Other web browsers, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera, conveniently open the links in new tabs, but Internet Explorer doesn't.  By default, I.E. opens each link in a whole new window, cluttering your desktop. So, make Internet Explorer open the links in new tabs like other browsers by using these instructions from Itechtalk.

Welcome to Introduction to UNIX & Linux!  This is a single combined classroom/online course, but with two section numbers, one "online" and one "lecture."  It doesn't matter which section number you enrolled in.  It's taught in a classroom and online, at the same time:   your instructor broadcasts the classroom lectures live on the web, and later puts recordings of the lectures on the Schedule page. Students may choose either way of attending, including coming to the classroom one week and attending online the next, either live or recorded.

1. CATE System Check-in

Check in under your section number below to create your CATE user name and password, which you need to reach lab exercises, answer forms, exams, gradebook, and Unix-Intro message list(This is not your separate Linux Student server user name and  password -- see #2 below).

 
Sections 5395 & 6986
Your CATE Student Check-In:  Create your CATE system (Center for Advanced Technology in Education) user name and CATE password to add yourself to the electronic class roster. CATE Check-in
After your instructor scores your assignnments and tests, they will appear in your online Gradebook.  Log in with your CATE user name and password. Gradebook

You can change your CATE password and e-mail address, but not your user name.

Change CATE Password or E-mail

2. Student Server Account Application

You will perform almost all of your assignments using a remote Linux command line to the Student server.  The Student server assigns you a user name and password.

Unix-Intro Message List

In this course, we use a message list, Unix-Intro, to ask questions about homework and lecture, share information, and discuss course content.  If you would raise your hand in a classroom about it, post it to this message list.  To send  messages or read the message archive, log in with your CATE user name and password.
