Alternate Web Notes
Web notes for this course are not kept at Algonquin College. I pay
for them to be stored on a commercial Linux-based web hosting service,
with backup copies located in other locations. The back-up locations
may not be updated as frequently as the main site.
http://acadunix.algonquincollege.com/~alleni/teaching/dat2330/04f/ (on campus)
The ACADUNIX site is accessible from inside Algonquin College
even when the College Internet is broken.
Unfortunately, the web server on ACADUNIX is broken and will
not serve up the directory index files correctly.
You can read the Class Notes by appending
/notes/ to the above URL.

The ELEARNING site is accessible from inside Algonquin College
even when the College Internet is broken.
Unfortunately, the web server on ELEARNING is broken and will
not serve up the directory index files correctly.
You can read the Class Notes by appending

http://teaching.idallen.ca/
(Note the dot .ca domain suffix!)
The dot .ca sites are located at my home in
downtown Ottawa (limited bandwidth).
Don't use them unless all the other sites are down.
The ACADUNIX site is accessible from on-campus even when the College
Internet is broken. The two sites with the dot .ca domain
suffix are located at my home.
Always try the main site first; do not use my home machine unless the
main site is down.
Forward your Algonquin EMail
You must have a working Algonquin EMail address for
your Algonquin courses.
(See the end of College Directive E33.) From on-campus, you can forward
your Algonquin EMail to any other address you wish. You are
responsible for keeping the forwarding address accurate during the term.
You must read your EMail regularly (daily) during the term.
During the term, I will only send your marks to your Algonquin
EMail address.
You may wish to set your "alternate" EMail using ACSIS while on campus. I will
use your
alternate EMail to inform you that your main Algonquin EMail account has a forwarding error; no personal data
will ever be sent to the alternate EMail address.
Warning! No copying! No group work! No working together!
There are no group assignments in this
course.
Working together is not permitted.
Copying material from
other sources (from other students, books, the Internet, or even from
the blackboard or posted course notes) without proper credit is an
academic offence called plagiarism. Students working
together or submitting work containing
plagiarized material will be charged with academic fraud under College
Directive E16. Read the plagiarism
document for details.

permission or knowledge; these are not needed.

may have a different book list.
IBM Online Linux Tutorial
For those of you who have missed class, or if you want to review, IBM has a set of
online Linux tutorials.
The first one (Part 1: Linux fundamentals) covers much of what I teach this term.
