SUMMARY:Course of work in Linux command line not only for MetaCentrum 2027
DESCRIPTION:Knowledge of Linux/UNIX is useful\, e.g. for working with large
  molecular and other data on computing clusters like MetaCentrum. It is a s
 ervice provided by CESNET allowing access to huge computational capacity\, 
 which is readily available for all students and employees of Czech academic
  institutions to process their data. You can immediately use skills learned
  during the course. The course contains theoretical introduction as well as
  plenty of practical examples and exercises.
 The course will be taught 4 days.
 Information is continuously updated in SIS. Schedules are also in SIS. The 
 course will be taught in lecture hall OŽP B12 (1st mezzanine\, Benátská 
 2\, Prague 2) from January 19 to 22\, 2027\, from 9:00 AM to ca. 3:30 PM (w
 ith enough breaks). I'd be glad if participants could fill a short question
 naire which will help me with preparation of the course and communication w
 ith participants.
 The course will be a combination of shorter talks\, followed by independent
  work of students\, and room for questions and consultations\, etc. Details
  will be updated according to the situation prior the course.

 For the course\, you need any computer with Linux – Linux-only machine\, 
 dualboot\, virtualisation (image for VirtualBox will be available)\, or Cyg
 win\, or Linux subsystem in Windows 11\, it doesn’t matter. Or another UN
 IX (osX and so on.). There will be a training server where we will connect 
 to. It can be enough just to use Putty and log in from Windows to this serv
 er\, but it won’t be possible to do all the exercises on the server.
