PART 1 - Installing Your Linux Distribution
:The stable version of Centos 7 - release 1161 will be chosen to be supported for this course. The purpose for this is to allow all students to use a consistent '''red-hat''' based OS, and to lower the 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 This should be the default choice for this course, as it allows for the course to run longer before getting outdated with new software and updates.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 7 comes with python 2.7, which means that it this version of Python is not NOT optimal out for the box for teaching this courseimmediately after OS install. 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 is recommended that students note some changes and encourage new work to be done general improvements that are being made in python3 while paying attention to specific projects that work only with python 2Python2 (as well as Python3.
