  2. Must manage dependency risks beyond the capabilities of native Unix package tools

64-bit Ubuntu on MacBook2,1 with 32-bit EFI

  3. Download bootable-CD rEFInd 2. Using Rufus for Windows, write it to a USB stick
  4. Download a special bootia32.efi

Space Age

Write a program that, given an age in seconds, calculates how old someone is in terms of a given planet's solar years.

Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on:

  • Earth: orbital period 365.25 Earth days, or 31557600 seconds
  • Mercury: orbital period 0.2408467 Earth years
  • Venus: orbital period 0.61519726 Earth years
  • Mars: orbital period 1.8808158 Earth years
