Welcome to the MTU LUG Wiki!
Our hope for this wiki is to be a source of information related to Michigan Tech, the Upper Peninsula, and Linux, to be used by current and prospective students at MTU (and anyone else who finds it useful).
If you'd like to edit the wiki, please email the LUG mailing list (lug-l@mtu.edu) or shoot us a message in LUG's Discord or IRC and we'll happily make you an account (spambotters were griefing pages).
Alternatively, anyone currently with an account can make new ones for others by going to Special:CreateAccount.
As of Fall 2024, meetings are Thursdays 7-8pm in Rekhi 101 (the round room).
Who we are
The Linux Users Group is a student organization at Michigan Tech that was established in 2001 to further students' knowledge of Linux/UNIX based operating systems and discuss technological advancements in Operating Systems.
Each week, we gather to discuss current news about tech and open-source software, after which a member will give a presentation about a technical topic (typically pertaining to Linux, FOSS, or computer protocols) that's different each week.
Whether you're a GNU Wizard running a custom distro on your laptop or a total Linux beginner who hasn't ever touched a shell, our mission is to provide an environment for anyone to learn more about using Linux on their gadgets and gizmos.

Tips
Servers
- Servers is a page for the (hopefully) current configuration of our servers.
Programming
- Overthewire Bandit CTF - A CTF for learning the basics of Linux and simple exploits.
- Bash - Crappy Bash Crash Course
- Teach yourself CS - Textbook-based learning.
- Project Euler - Small project, math-based learning.
- Beej's guide to network programming - A good user guide in C-based network programming (surprise).
- Handmade Hero - A very long tutorial on how to write your own game engine in C/C++. Utilizes the Windows message handler. Rewrites SDL (and other) libraries before using them for a much better understanding.
- Martyr's Mega Project - A list of ideas/projects to write to give ideas on what to keep programming.
- Building your own X - A list of ways to building your own types of systems. Some are very challenging, while some are straightforward.
- (Intermediate) Challenging projects 1 - Small list of week-to-month long projects that create some fascinating applications.
- (Intermediate) Challenging projects 2 - Small list of week-to-month long projects that create some fascinating applications.
- (Intermediate) Advent of Code - a fun challenge to do data analysis and data parsers with daily challenges from December 1st to 25th (it's an advent calendar).
- (Advanced) Cryptopals - A set of challenges that get insanely challenging extremely quickly. Look at the final challenges to see they do not hold back on any aspect of cryptography.
- (Advanced) Eudypatula challenge - A dead challenge to start programming for the Linux kernel. Can still be done locally, but answers won't be verified.
