PART 1 - Installing Your Linux Distribution
<!-- Try to use tables and simplify the layers of WIKI to make top links less verbose to students -->
:Since Python runs <u>independently</u> regardless the of the Linux distribution, you have some flexibility of which Linux OS to use. Below  :The stable version of Centos 7 - release 1161 will be chosen(tested) to be supported for this course. This is a table displaying to keep the ops stream on red hat based systems, lower the characteristics amount of new linux distros that need to be learned by students. This should be the default choice for this course, as it allows for the course to run longer before getting outdated with new software and updates. :Centos vs Fedora distributions 7 comes with python 2.7, which means that it is not optimal out for the box for teaching this course. However not teaching python 2.7 would be a mistake since so many programs and operating systems still depend on python 2. It would be good to note some changes and related Python packagesencourage new work to be done in python3 while paying attention to specific projects that work only with python 2
