Linux is slowly becoming a de facto standard in our operations. We have standardized on the Fedora Linux distribution which is an open source project from RedHat. In here we provide some information on how to configure and work with Fedora.

General

Linux is extensively used in the Department for both teaching purposes (Linux Labs) and for infrastructure services.

Most of the servers at the Department use Linux as their operating system. We have standardized on the so called "RedHat version" of Linux systems. Such systems include RedHat Enterprise Linux, CentOS Linux and Rocky Linux. Currently we actively use CentOS 7 and 8 system and Rocky 8 and 9 systems.

Ubuntu and Fedora (a Redhat EL relative) systems are partly supported.

In here we provide some information on how to configure and work with RedHat style Linux systems.

It must be mentioned that Linux has become so stable and feature rich that it can effectively replace the Windows platform if desired.

It should be expected that:

  • we will maintain several versions (2-3) of the CentOS distribution for operations
  • we will maintain our own central support/upgrade and installation server

More details are provided in the documents below.

and from the main support site.

Personal Installations

Here are some suggestions if you plan to install Linux on your own system (desktop PC or Laptop) to work for your course.

  • Workstation system where you login as a user:
  • prefer Ubuntu or Fedora. Fedora is very similar system to the systems installed at the Department of Computer Science.
