Or even just getting to know a little bit avout how linux actually works? This thursday sees the return of our admin training! It will be at 6pm in LG25 in the School of Computing. Our first session is titled "An Introduction To Linux Administration" Our admin team are going to walk you through linux from the very basics. They'll get you familiar with the linux command line, what various linux tools are used daily in system administration, and explain a bit about how linux ticks. Previous experience with linux is non-essential! Everyone has to start somewhere, our admins definitely did! There'll be pizza! == First Year Rep Elections == Want to join our committee? Each year we elect a first year rep. This is a great chance to get to have your say in the kinds of events we run, learn about the running of a society and get to know loads of new people. If you'd like to run for the position (or come along to vote) we'll be holding the EGM at 2pm on Wednesday 19th of October (so not this week, the one after). We'll be providing pizza. Feel free to reply to this email with any questions you may have about the position or the election process. == Downtime = There will be downtime from Friday 14/10 - Monday 17/10 for essential server mainentance and kernel updates. == Pints == We'll be heading to the Nubar to unwind after lectures this Monday (10/10) from 5pm.
