2:00-3:00 Fridays, in Moore 207
Everyone is expected to attend one of these labs


There are two because Moore 207 is too small to have
everyone at once
I will try to arrange it so that everyone gets their choice of
which lab to attend

Moore 207 is a Linux lab
Many of you have not used Linux

It has a desktop (called Gnome), very similar to the Windows
or Macintosh desktop
It’s not hard to figure out
Don’t be afraid!
I’ll step you through a brief introduction to Linux
Java is platform independent: You can easily move back
and forth between Linux and Windows or Mac

Bring a floppy disk, if you have one

My TA (Jack Yang) and I will have office hours posted
