What This Course is About
Unix and Linux represent the operating system technology underlying many of the services of the Internet. This subject introduces students to Unix, Linux and the Internet.
Students will learn the core utilities to work productively in a Linux environment. Students will do this work using the shell, at the same time learn to configure their login accounts, manipulate data stored in files, effectively use Linux commands and utilities, and write simple shell scripts.
Accessing Your Linux Computer Account
You will need a matrix computer account to do the ULI101 assignments. If you have never logged into matrix
before, check your MySeneca email for confirmation that your matrix account was automatically created
after you registered for ULI101. This should happen automatically if you are a new Seneca student and this
is your first semester.
Logging in to matrix: After successfully logging into matrix from the
college computers, there are several other ways you can login to matrix depending on
your operating system of choice.
Please see the following guide for detailed instructions.
In case of problems with:
- logging into your matrix account
- matrix not finding your home directory and you cannot start the assignments
- any other matrix issue
Please email servicedesk@senecacollege.ca and specify the exact error message you received. It would help if you snap a picture of your screen or
take a screen capture of your error message and attach to your email when you contact ServiceDesk through your MySeneca email.
