No enrollment limit, no advance sign up.  Participants welcome at individual sessions (series).  No prereqs.\\

Do you dread having to use Athena? Is computer stuff ``not your thing''? Since when did printing become so difficult? Come to this class and making ``computing at MIT'' a lot more enjoyable. \\ 

This class has two sessions which cover different material. The first class will cover topics that will make using Athena much easier, such as basic unix commands and avoiding common mishaps. The second session will cover ways to make
 switching between personal computer and athena much easier, including different ways to transfer files, print files,
 and access files.

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up. Single session event.\\

Come and learn about the inner workings of Athena and how you can make
Athena work for you. We'll discuss basic concepts such as Kerberos, Hesiod
and MIT's mail system and what you can do to customize your computing
experience to fit your needs. If time permits, we will demonstrate
converting a Windows PC to a dual-boot Windows/Linux-Athena system.

Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast distribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc, Alpha, AMD64, IA64, and MIPS systems that is geared towards Linux power users. Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux has an advanced package management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, ``fake'' (OpenBSD-style) installs, path sandboxing, safe unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, and more. A completed Gentoo Linux installation is customized and optimized for your specific needs.  We will have an overview presentation and a demo of a running Gentoo system.

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up. Single session event. Prereq: Some Gentoo experience.\\

This session will cover advanced usage of Gentoo Linux, a versatile and fast distribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc, Alpha, AMD64, IA64, and MIPS systems that is geared towards Linux power users.\\

Details of Portage, the Gentoo package management system, will be presented. We will discuss creation of ebuild scripts, usage of various system tools such as qpkg and etcat. We will also have a detailed look into the init scripts system, and the various settings in make.conf. Current Gentoo users are encouraged to attend with their questions and anecdotes.
