Hi All,
A couple of people asked for some exercises to get comfortable with using the command line, so here's exercise number 1. It should be fairly easy.
Goal 1: Create two different users one named "guest" and one named 'nohome' (You should also end up with a groups 'guest' and 'nohome'. The 'guest' user should have a home directory just like your regular user, but the 'nohome' user should not have a home directory.
Roberto recently asked a few interesting questions that seem worth answering as a blog post. Gnome Shell the windows manager we use has somewhat different interface than the traditional windows managers we're used to using.
We use a number of default commands for our gpg key creation and signing. The first thing you need to do is get a gpg or pgp key, if you haven't already. From the command line enter the following:
gpg --gen-key
Installing the Gnome windows manager, our default GUI (Graphical User Interface), is really easy. Become your root user by entering the following command:
su
You should be asked for a password. After entering the password, your command line should end with the '#' sign instead of the '$', i.e.:
root@virilio:/home/ross#
Now issue the following command:
apt-get install gnome
Now reboot and you should have a GUI.
