Linux Command Line
This event runs monthly on the 1st Monday of the month from 6pm in The Gamer Club. Check the home page for the next date (or take a look at our meetup events page).
Quick start: Go to -> OverTheWire's Wargame: Bandit
We run regular monthly events aimed at teaching beginners how to use the Linux command line. We generally run these on the third Tuesday of the month as part of the Practical Linux Tutorial.
We use OverTheWire's Wargame Bandit as it provides us with a server to log into and starts off with the basics. We'll explain how to connect to it with PuTTY or your operating system's built in ssh client.
Not a beginner? Join us and try the more advanced war games hosted by 2600 Glasgow. Race ahead and try your hand at the more difficult games/levels and work with others to learn how to beat them, or help us teach newcomers some of the more advanced topics.
The event is free, but there will be a donation tin to cover the meetup costs if you'd like to help out.
