Welcome to CSC150 Lab 3

This is the first UNIX lab. You will go through the basics of the bash shell on a Debian Linux Dell Power Edge server. Please follow the directions below:

1. Place your XLiveCD in the drive and wait about 20 sec. for the cd to autoload. When prompted, click next and chose the 3 buttoned mouse option. Click next. You should see a teminal prompt.

2. Type ssh -X your_user_name@numbers and hit enter.

3. You may get a message about registry keys, type yes.

4. Enter you numbers password.

5. You are in your home directory(/home/<username>). List the contents of your directory by typing the command ls. This lists the files and folders in your directory. ls alone however does not list all of your directory's contents. Type ls -a. This displays your files as ls does, but also your "hidden" files (these are configuration files that begin with a period), the current directory (denoted .) and the directory above (denoted ..). Now type ls -al. This lists all files including hidden files as well as file sizes, permissions, ownership and date modified.

6. To log off of numbers, type exit. Type exit again to end the local terminal session. Then right click the black X in the system tray and chose exit. You should now be able to remove the cd.
