Dear students,

We've put up instructions on how to install the Ubuntu 12.04 virtual machine that you will use for the first programming assignment in the 'lab1' section of the course wiki.

It is up to you if you want to install a virtual machine or have a native ubuntu OS installation by partitioning your hard drive. The virtual machine will most often be the easiest option but it might be worthwhile to consider having Ubuntu installed natively in your own computer.

Patric will take to the lecture USB sticks with the virtual machines and ubuntu .iso images. You can also download them from the links given in the wiki.

Please start installing the system ASAP so that we can already help you with installation issues in the first exercise sessions this thursday & friday sep 11-12.

Best,

Francisco
