→INVESTIGATION 2: USING THE "IPYTHON" CLI: fix one typo
<!-- Try to use tables and simplify the layers of WIKI to make top links less verbose to students -->
:Centos 7 - release 1810 1908 will be used for this course. The purpose for this is to allow you to use a consistent and stable '''RedHat''' based OS, and to lower the amount of new linux distros that you need to learn.
: Most of you will likely use the school's Windows machines with the Vmware hypervisor. It is also possible to use your own laptop computer, but check with your professor before you do that.

:'''IPython''' is an interactive environment that allows us to run python code line by line as we write it. This will also act like a bash shell prompt allowing users to enter a limited number of Bash shell commands. You will notice this by seeing an [IN] prompt where to enter commands and an [OUT] prompt that will display output from issued commands. We will start creating scripts out of the code within this '''IPython''' environment.
