Lab Info

The computer laboratory facilities for CPSC 457 are housed in the Linux Lab, located on the 1st floor of Math Sciences.

We will be using User Mode Linux (UML) as the operating environment for the programming assignments in this course. UML allows each student to compile, run, and test their own modified version of the Linux kernel in a virtual machine environment, without the risk of crashing the physical machine itself. We will be using Linux version 2.6.24.

Remote access to the computers in the lab is also possible.

Additional information about how to use User Mode Linux (UML) will be provided here shortly.
