Like might be better to lead to units in later lab. Test if it creates journal entries, then have students also use journalctl

Consider: what should the service do?

• python web server? (so it's not apache or nginx) / the Flask app?
• greetings script (weather, todo list, writes to file in user's home dir)
• mount on boot, umount on shutdown (two services) http://tuxgraphics.org/npa/systemd-scripts/
• program that writes time to file https://www.scaler.com/topics/daemon-in-linux/
• gather system info with script

Lab 03 specify numeric sort

Java - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/java-socket-programming-server-client
Python - https://realpython.com/python-sockets/

One student submits client code, one submits server code, and state partner?

Improve wording on what tcpdump is versus curl.

In part 2, include instructions for how to set up the experiment.

Add python3 command in same folder as index.html file, brief description of what command does

Need to add steps to create, attach to, then mount loop device instead of indicating it's a one-stepper.

Add note for if you can no long connect to your instance:
"Some people overwrote xvda or had a bad entry in fstab that has locked them out of their original instance. If you think that happened to you, you'll need to go back to Lab 01 and create a new stack. Once you are in the new instance, you'll need to make a new key pair and give the public key to github"

Three big notes:
LUbuntu is performing better than Ubuntu. Link to LUbuntu installer: https://lubuntu.me/
Ubuntu has gotten too big for it's VM britches.

If your LUbuntu Desktop session crashes after installing GuestAdditions, I recommend switching to the Mate Desktop environment - all other apps will work, just no Desktop or Desktop icons. After installing, you can select Mate at the log on screen. Install Mate:

Kernel panic generally implies that the VM needs more than one CPU more. 2 should be plenty.

Mac x64 users (intel / amd):
There may be bugs with VirtalBox 7.0 - if you see NEM something as an error, then it's bugged. Rolling back to 6.1.40 solves this. Installer page: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.40/

Mac M1 Users:
That ARM based processor is a bear. UTM instructions (including an ARM based image): https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ubuntu-20-04
I recommend using the open labs (152B&D) as they have VirtualBox installed already.

If your VM is running "slow", try enabling 3D acceleration and bumping up your vram like so:

Install compiler / interpreter
Make sure in PATH
Make .java / .py files open in VS Code by default
Clone repo to VSCode

Which of these folders, DirA or "Dir B" uses a better naming convention, and why?
