Linux

Overview

This computer is a general use computer, not a server. The basic install may be either the full Ubuntu desktop or my preference which is Lubuntu. Lubuntu is a lightweight version of Ubuntu, with a toned down graphical interface and no default installation of certain desktop software like an office suite.

I do not use the Ubuntu system as my primary computer but specifically for development and running of machine learning tasks. The machine learning tasks often take a lot of processing power and time, so expect the machine to be unavailable during those task runs.

My main office computer is a Windows based machine. I often use Ubuntu in a headless configuration, so connectivity is important.

Git

Git, the version control system. Use It!

• Install Git, sudo apt install git-all.
• Check the version, git --version.
• Configure git,

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@domain.com"
