Observatory F19 Final Presentation

Observatory Fall 2019

What is the Observatory

The Observatory is the codename given to the RCOS website, which is used to track projects, members, attendance, and more.

Observatory-new Proprosal

Mattermost Channel: #observatory

Observatory is the code-name of the RCOS website. The current version is hosted on https://rcos.io. That version of Observatory is years old and aside from being very outdated is entirely unmaintained and difficult to make any alterations to. An attempt was made to rewrite in Vue.js however that project appears to be dead in the water, despite being about 3/4 complete.

Basics of Linux

This guide is designed to help new users understand the more important aspects of Linux. It is not meant to be an exhaustive tutorial, but rather a primer.


Introduction

Linux (or GNU/Linux) isn't one singular operating system as many people believe it to be, but rather a broader term for a large number of operating systems built using the Linux kernel. These different operating systems are referred to as distributions or "distros". Different Linux distributions use the same mostly the same software but are packaged and setup differently. Many, if not most, distros are based of off other more popular distros. The major differences that the average user notices are in what desktop environment the distro uses, and how/where software is managed and installed from.
