Main Page

Welcome to the RHLUG Wiki!

We're currently migrating/updating the information from:

• the wiki from 2019, and we have a backup of only a few pages from in March 2018, sadly. Some of it is no longer relevant though, so new information will take its place.
• the old wiki, which we have a badly cached version of here since it has stability issues.

Our plan for this wiki is to document anything specific to using Linux at Rose-Hulman. We'll show you some other resources where you can learn up-to-date information on how to use Linux, open-source software, or server management, just to make things less cluttered.

If you want to talk, join our Telegram group at https://t.me/rhlug.
