+Free Pizza will be provided!!!
+
+The Linux Users Group (LUG) at UCLA invites you to attend the quarterly Linux
+Installfest! Please fill out the [RSVP form](https://forms.gle/cMpwizfU4MvudwdeA)
+to indicate your pizza preferences.
+
+* Date: 2024-10-11 (Friday of Week 2)
+* Time: 6-9 PM
+* Location: Engineering IV, Maxwell Room (57-124)
+* RSVP: [link](https://forms.gle/cMpwizfU4MvudwdeA)
+
+## General Info
+
+LUG hosts a quarterly installfest on Friday of the 2nd week. We will start by
+giving a presentation on Linux to get newcomers up to speed. Then, attendees
+will be provided a USB drive and guided in dual booting their computers with
+Linux (most likely Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint). However, you are welcome to
+bring your own flash drives and install any distro of your choice. Or if you
+don't feel comfortable with the possibility of losing their data, you can set
+up a Virtual Machine instead.
+
+This time around, there will be a demo of a Linux install on a 2014 Mac Mini,
+recently plucked from the e-waste.
+
+The officers will also be doing a show-and-tell of their own hardware which
+they have installed Linux on. Experienced users are also encouraged to show off
+their own setups.
+
+At the end, we'll have a SuperTuxKart LAN party with our freshly installed
+Linux machines.
+
+## Past Installfests
+
+You can view pictures from past installfests [here](https://linux.ucla.edu/zenphoto/).
+
+## Note on M1 and M2 Macs
+
+Due to their custom Apple silicon, the only Linux distro which works on M1/M2/M3
+Macs is the experimental Asahi Linux. You also have the option of setting up a
+Virtual Machine to run Linux so feel free to come and chat with us!

+title: RDP guide
+date: 2024-05-24
+author: David Z

+
+Many classes require using the UCLA SEASNet Remote Desktop. For example 115C requires you 
+to use Cadence (yuck). Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol is proprietary, but there are
+open source clients which can connect to it. Here are three ways of connecting which work well.
+Please note that you need to be on the UCLA VPN.
+
+## Using FreeRDP (Most reliable)
+In order to use FreeRDP to connect, start by downloading the .rdp file from [here](https://rds.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/Default.aspx)
+
+Then run the following command in terminal:
+```
+xfreerdp <filename>.rdp /u:<username> /p:<password> /gd:rds.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx /dynamic-resolution
+```
+Do not put `seaslab\` before your username, otherwise you will not be able to log in. 
+## Using Remmina (More user-friendly)
+Remmina is a more user-friendly way of connecting. It has nice features (like being able to fullscreen or resize the window).
+
+To use it, simply download the .rdp file and then enter in your username and password. Nothing else needs to be done.
+
+Sometimes, the rdp file will not work. This may be because the server domain changed. In order to get the correct domain, you
+can use the previous method. Look for the line which looks like this:
+```
+[02:39:22:381] [19509:19510] [WARN][com.freerdp.crypto] - CN = vmsrv07-rdsh01.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu
+```
+In this case, we can see that the server domain is `vmsrv07-rdsh01.seaslab.seas.ucla.edu`, which is different from the
+domain listed in the RDP file (`VMSRV08-RDCB02.SEASLAB.SEAS.UCLA.EDU` in my case). To fix this, right click in Remmina on the 
+connection, select Edit, then replace the domain under "Server" in the Basic tab.
+
+## Using SSH (Most direct way)
+If you are using MobaXTerm, you might have noticed that Cadence actually lives on a RHEL server. You are basically
+connecting to a Windows server, and then using an application on Windows (which implements SSH X forwarding) to connect back
+to a Linux server. It's obvious that Windows is just a "middleman" and that you actually don't need it.
+
+You can take the RHEL server's address straight from MobaXterm (for me, it's `eeapps02.seas.ucla.edu`). Then, type the
+following command: 
+```
+ssh -X -C <username>@eeapps02.seas.ucla.edu
+```
+And you're done!
