Linux is a powerful open source Unix-like operating system. These pages aren't intended as a general guide (for that, check out our list of resources) but rather information specific to using Linux here at Boston University, and particularly to using our custom distribution, BU Linux. BU Linux is based on CentOS , but specifically tailored for the BU environment. We've added security updates, made modifications to make software work better with the way things are set up here, and added some applications that we think you might like to have. For details, see the FAQ. The latest release of BU Linux for desktop systems and servers is BU Linux 5.3 (Monde). Currently, Monde is available for i386 and x86_64 (Opteron, Athlon64, and Intel EM64T). |
