This paper assumes that you have already successfully
installed RedHat-Athena on your computer.
You should be able to log in as root and run simple commands. For
example, you should be able to use the passwd command to change
the root password on your computer to be something that nobody else
knows. You will NOT, of course, tell anyone.
This paper also assumes that you are familiar with the basic concepts of Unix. For example, you should know what a ``dotfile'' is, you should know how to change your ``path'', and you should have some idea what a ``pipe'' is. You should also know how to navigate around your filesystem and how to copy and move files. It might also be helpful if you were familiar with standard Unix file permissions and ownership. If you are not familiar with these terms, then it's a good idea for you to find a book on Unix for beginners; you could also read some of Information Systems' documentation (particularly ``Managing Your Athena Account'') or other SIPB documentation (particularly ``Inessential Athena''), or attend some introductory Athena minicourses.
