Week 2 at a Glance

Welcome to Week 2.  We are going to now install Linux systems (two of them!) and then start working with the command line interface.   There is a lot of material for this week, but realistically the steps in chapter 2 shouldn't take a lot of time (except for "watching the paint dry" during any operating system install).   Chapter 3 should go reasonably fast too.

Here is the activities for this week:
