Intro to labs

finding labs, logging in, booking terminals, selecting gui, reading email, starting browser, starting x terminal, printing, ssh and pico and sftp from home

Compiling - gcc and/or eclipse

what compilation means. preprocessor. compiling. linking. source file, machine code, object files, flags (-Wall -Werror -o -O) interpreting compiler error messages. compiling at home. students must be able to run the compiler themselves, understand and use the appropriate flags, and be able to interpret useful information from error messages.
