Linux Days 2-4

We have spent the last few days installing and messing around in SUSE linux. We chose the gnome desktop option, because that was the one we were most familiar with. One main issue we had was that the networking abilities of our computer were limited, but we managed to finally get the drivers and get access to the internet. Unfortunately, we can not figure out how to assign a static IP address, and continue to connect to the internet, so we have resorted to staying on DHCP. Hopefully tomorrow we will install Sabayon, and our homework tonight is to download a version of it. But as for class today, we just looked around, explored, poked, and prodded all the information that we could out of SUSE. We worked on our packets and explored the disk setup of linux. We also experimented with the terminal, and figured out how to give our account root privileges. sudo -l and your root password ftw. Now, I'm off to download a sabayon .iso. So long reader/s
