2012-01-22 Some basic statistics: 65 students wrote the theoretical exam, 27 got grade 3, four got grade 4 and one got grade 5. This means the passing rate was 47.7%.
2012-01-22 Some of you have been asking, so here (pdf, 740 kB) are some example practical exams (those from 14th of December, but January ones were very similar).
2012-01-17 Due to several questions I have been getting, I want to let you know that the first written re-exam in the course will take place in week 15 (just after the Easter). The exact day is not yet decided.
2012-01-15 I have now emailed you results of the exam (Part 1 and Part 2 only). Let me know if you do not receive my email or if you have any questions regarding the grading.
2012-01-12 I have fixed a mistake in answer to question 5 in part 2.
2012-01-11 You can now download the exam (pdf, 96 kB) and the correct answers.
2012-01-04 You can now sign up for re-scheduled sessions of the practical exam in the lab system. I have added one session on Monday, 9th of January, and two sessions each on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th.
2012-01-04 I am currently thinking about Thursday, 12th of January, 10-12 and Friday, 13th of January, 13-15 as the times for re-scheduled practical exam. Please let me know (via email) if those dates are bad for you. (SN)
2012-01-04 Unfortunately, due to Mattias Enervall getting sick, the practical exam today has been cancelled. It will be re-scheduled. Expect more details soon. (SN)
2011-12-22 The date for the third attempt at the practical exam is Friday, 20th of January, 13-17. You can see it in the official schedule. (SN)
2011-12-20 You can now sign up for practical exam sessions on the 4th and 9th of January. You can only sign up for one of those days. This counts as your second attempt to pass the practical exam. There will also be third attempt in January, most likely in week 3. However, if you keep the current pace of only 20% making the exams, the final result will be 49% passing rate -- so please, try a bit harder, I would really like to reach 50% :-) (SN).
2011-12-05 You can now sign up for practical exam sessions on 14th of December (SN).
2011-12-05 Here are example questions from theoretical (pdf, 560 kB) and practical (pdf, 45 kB) exam I have discussed during today's lecture (SN).
2011-12-05 I have now updated partial results for MCQs (the first 750 questions) (SN).
2011-11-28 I have now added partial results for MCQs (the first 400 questions) (SN).
2011-11-07 I have now updated information on the Laborations page (SN).
2011-11-05 Students can now download the material for Lab1 (WOM)
2011-11-03 I have now emailed all students their identification numbers for the lab system. Check your emails, and if you have not received it, let me know (SN).
2011-11-03 I have moved lecture slides to the "Overview" section, since they were breaking our nice schedule table (SN).
2011-10-25 Schedule and Overview have been updated. Added Optional hand-ins (WOM).
2011-10-24 Most of the information here should be up to date now (SN).
2011-10-17 I am taking this course over from Mattias Wecksten this year, so for now the information on this page can be a somewhat strange mix of old and new stuff (SN).

Sobell, M.G. A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux (eBook)

Unfortunately the Safari Online service we buy here at HH is for two readers at a time only, so I suggest that you get the book in some other form.
