The surroundings of Linux can be quite intimidating at first, once you open up a terminal like your lecturer told you to, it feels as if you're abstracted away form this new environment! Sure, you can `cd` & `ls` your way around the terminal for the next while, but eventually, you're going to need a bit more than that. On Wednesday you'll receive a brief Intro to Linux courtesy of Redbrick's very own Helpdesk! We will be (hopefully) covering something new for everyone here!! Make sure you come along to LG25 on Wednesday at 15:00 to learn you some Linux and eat you some pizza ! https://www.facebook.com/events/2196757460598738/ (https://www.facebook.com/events/2196757460598738/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HackerClub ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you finding programming hard?
