-title: Club Constitution
----
-
-
-## Article 1. Name
-
-This organization shall be referred to as the Linux Users Group at the  University of California, Los Angeles (LUG@UCLA). The University of  California, Los Angeles will hereafter in this document be referred to  as "UCLA," or "the University."
-
-## Article 2. Statement of Purpose
-
-Linux is both a powerful, freely-available computer operating system and a  fascinating sociological event with few parallels, the product of an  international programmer community that exists independently of any  national boundaries.
-
-The LUG@UCLA's purpose is to facilitate learning, creativity, and the advancement of computer science. To accomplish this goal, LUG@UCLA  promotes the use of the Linux operating system at UCLA by encouraging  its use among students, faculty, staff, and University departments; by  providing a support network for Linux users; and by building a library  of Linux- related materials.
-
-In attempting to promote the use of Linux, we also encourage  programming under this operating system in the form of  student-coordinated projects. LUG@UCLA student projects must benefit the UCLA community, the Linux community, or any subsets of the two. All  software produced under the auspices of LUG@UCLA shall be distributed  under the GNU General Public License, or the GNU Lesser General Public  License, as appropriate.
-
-The group will have any number of projects being worked on at a  given time, each with its own methods of organization and  responsibility. The sole limitation on such projects is that they fall  within the rules and focus of LUG@UCLA.
-
-## Article 3. Membership
-
-### Section 1. General Membership
-
-LUG@UCLA grants membership to anyone who asks for it. There shall be no membership fee or interviews.
-
-### Section 2. Policy of Non-discrimination
-
-LUG@UCLA, in accordance with applicable Federal and State law and University  Policy, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national  origin, religion, sex, disability, age, medical condition, ancestry,  marital status, citizenship, sexual orientation, or status as a veteran  of the Armed Forces.
-
-LUG@UCLA also prohibits sexual harassment. This  non-discrimination policy covers organization membership, access to  organization programs and activities, and the general treatment of  members in the organization.
-
-## Article 4. Offices and Elections
-
-LUG@UCLA shall operate on a collaborative style of leadership, employing one  President, three Vice-Presidents, and one Treasurer. LUG@UCLA shall  elect officers once per academic year or as necessary. Only members  currently enrolled as UCLA undergraduate and graduate students are  eligible to hold office. All members of the group are allowed to vote in elections of the LUG@UCLA.
-
-We will use the approval voting system. Voters select which  candidates they approve of (they can select multiple), and the candidate with the most approvals wins.
-
-Ties will be broken by a game of SuperTuxKart.
-
-### President
-
-This individual is the official liaison to the University, handles all  school administrative issues, and is responsible for the group, its  regular LUG or Officer meetings, dealing with other clubs, giving  direction on LUG activity projects, and the delegation of tasks to be  carried out on behalf of the LUG. This individual is one of the 3  signatories at club registration time.
-
-### Vice President / External
-
-This officer handles corporate relations, letters of thanks, company visits, guest speakers, room reservations, and arranging for a food sponsor at  Installfests, etc. This individual is one of the 3 signatories at club  registration time.
-
-### Vice President / Marketing
-
-The Marketing Director is responsible for the general improvement of the  groups's reputation and profile through advertisement and other means,  organizing materials & club T-shirts for quarterly events &  resource fairs, directing publicity for the LUG, and growing LUG  identity and spirit.
-
-### Vice President / Internal
-
-Internally, this person is responsible for the System Admin in the Lug lounge,  general hardware upkeep and maintenance of the Lounge and its  appearance, and is general ombudsman.
-
-### Treasurer
-
-The treasurer transfers LUG student club account funds and clears  reimbursements. This person handles any financial matters, including  making financial records available to authorized University officials  upon request. This individual is one of the 3 signatories at club  registration time. Leadership will act analogous to package maintainers  in the open-source world. Anyone in the club is free to submit “patches” to the club. Officers should be involved in any meaningful changes to  the club, but should not have absolute authority on patches to the club.
-
-## Article 5. Meetings
-
-LUG@UCLA shall hold general meetings at least once a quarter. The meetings shall be open to the public—membership is not a requisite to attend.
-
-## Article 6. Amendments to the Constitution
-
-This constitution may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Membership at a General Meeting or a Special Meeting called for the purpose of voting  to amend the constitution.
-
-## Article 7. Provision to Make Financial Records Available
-
-Financial records can be made available to University Officials upon request.  Said requests can be submitted electronically via email and must provide a detailed description of the type of records requested.

-title: Description
----
-
-
-**Please give a brief, but detailed summary of your organization. Be sure to include any history of the group, a mission statement and a  brief account of the student population that the organization represent.**
-
-The Linux Users Group (LUG) facilitates learning and advancement  of computer science and free software by promoting the use of the open  source GNU/Linux operating system and providing a support network for  Linux users. There is no barrier to becoming a member; consequently, the LUG consists of students, non-students, inexperienced, and experienced  alike. The LUG has been a group at UCLA for over 25 years, during which  time it has helped expose free software to many people.
-
-**Please explain the benefit students may derive from your  organization. Include how your group stimulates discussion, benefits  education, or provides enrichment of any kind.**
-
-The LUG maintains a Linux computer lab and servers that host  various digital services, which people can use to help familiarize  themselves with Linux and other standardized technologies. The LUG is a  constant source of Linux assistance to anybody that is in need. The LUG  holds talks and presentations introducing various topics in computer  science. Sometimes, group members engage in conversations surrounding  the politics and economics of Linux.
-
-**Please describe the goals of your organization.**
-
-The goals of the LUG at UCLA parallels the goals of the thousands of other LUGs around the globe: to provide support and/or education for Linux users, both inexperienced and experienced. LUG at UCLA, being a  university LUG, has secondary goals that are more student-oriented: to  help with Linux-related coursework.

+
+* Date: Thursday, May 16 2024
+* Time: 18:15
+* Location: Boelter 1st Floor entrance, by the dumpsters
+
+## General Info
+
+This will be a small meetup where the fourth-year students will pass on their knowledge of the best
+spots on campus to find free e-waste.
+
+You might get your hands dirty, since we are going to be dumpster diving, but you might also walk
+away with some new hardware! Be ready to do some walking since the locations are fairly spread out.
+
+Open to all who are interested.
+
+## What to Expect
+
+There are almost always free office-grade monitors and keyboards to be found. It's also fairly
+common to see decade-old PCs with RAM and HDDs, provided that no one else scavenged them first.
+Sometimes, valuable stuff gets thrown away like oscilloscopes, Macs from < 10 years ago, CRTs, NVMe
+SSDs, and PCs from the 1980s (as featured at the [Spring Installfest](/events/installfest-s24)).
+
+The more valuable stuff could require some repairs, but it's not too difficult for a seasoned EE
+student. Actually, it might surprise you how much perfectly working stuff gets thrown out. Lots of
+the hard drives from labs don't even get wiped, and we've found adult content on them before...
+
+Your chances of finding something cool will go up the more regularly you check!

+The Linux Users Group (LUG) at UCLA invites you to attend the quarterly Linux
+Installfest! Please fill out the RSVP form to indicate your pizza preferences.
+
+* Date: 2025-01-24 (Friday of Week 3) **Moved to Week 3 because of ongoing wildfires**
+* Time: 6-9 PM
+* Location: Engineering IV, Undergraduate Lounge (67-127)
+* RSVP: link
+
+## 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

-So what's this Linux thing all about? What does Linux look like? What software runs on Linux?
-
-## What is Linux about?
-
-You can find a good introduction to Linux [here](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/introduction-to-linux-operating-system/).
-
-## What does Linux look like?
-
-Over the last few years, Linux graphic user interfaces (GUI) have greatly  improved. Click to view screenshots of the current desktop environments  offered by the Gnome and KDE Project.
-
-- [GNOME Overview](https://release.gnome.org/46/)
-- [KDE Overview](https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/)
-
-## How about software?
-
-There is a large selection of software for Linux. For quick selection and comparison, see the fossfor.us site.
-
-According to [freshmeat.net](https://freshmeat.net) (a large index of software for Linux  and other Unices), there are currently over 23,000 projects in  development. Many of these programs are Open Source and/or free.
-
-## Getting Linux
-
-Interested in trying out Linux? Our Getting started page will step you though the  process of finding, installing, and tweaking Linux on your computer.
-
-Installing Linux can sometimes be difficult, but the LUG is here to help!
-
-1. back up all your data (see page on backups)
-2. pick a distribution
-3. decide if you want to dual boot with Windows/Mac or just overwrite everything
-4. install it:
-   - come to quarterly installfest
-   - stop by the lounge any time and somebody might help
-   - do it yourself!
-
-## Distros
-
-Choosing a distribution can be challenging! (Though it actually matters less than you think.)
-
-Here's a short and incomplete list to help you choose: 
-
-**Debian-based (easiest):**
-
-1. MX Linux
-
-2. Mint
-
-3. Ubuntu
-
-4. Debian
-
-5. Pop! OS
-
-6. Elementary OS
-
-7. Zorin OS
-
-8. Kali (for hackers)
-
-
-**Arch-based (harder):**
-
-1. EndeavourOS
-
-2. Manjaro
-
-3. Garuda
-
-4. Arch (hard)
-
-5. Artix
-
-
-**Red Hat based:**
-
-1. Fedora
-
-2. Red Hat (usually used on servers, including the UCLA lnxsrvs)
-
-3. CentOS (Red Hat but without the tech support)
-4. OpenSUSE
-
-**Other:**
-
-1. Void Linux
-
-2. Gentoo (hard)
-
-3. OpenBSD
-
-4. FreeBSD (we run this on some of our servers)
-
-
-## Tips for selecting a distro
-
-If you are a beginner and you don't want to mess with the terminal that  much, choose a Debian based one like Mint. Most of the Debian ones just  work straight out of the box. There's also tons of support.
-
-If you have some experience (or you're a beginner who is fine  with using the terminal), you can try one of the Arch-based  distributions. Installing Arch takes a while, but it's actually not too  hard. If you're too lazy to install Arch, choose a distribution with a  graphical installer (like EndeavourOS).
-
-Here's a quiz you can try: https://distrochooser.de/en/
-
-## Comparing Arch and Debian
-
-Choose Arch-based distributions if you want a minimal distribution. Choose  Debian based distributions if you want stability or ease of use.
-
-# Desktop Environment
-
-The **desktop environment** (DE) is what makes up most of the user interface. It may include system panels, docks, window borders, backgrounds, and desktop widgets, among  other things. GNU/Linux has a wide variety of DEs avaliable—this page  will outline some of the most popular ones.
-
-It is important to note that no DE is tied to a particular  GNU/Linux distribution, or vice versa. Thus, if your distribution of  choice is Debian, you may use GNOME, or KDE, or both GNOME and KDE (if  you installed both). You can install as many different DEs as you want  and try them all!
-
-The three main desktop environments are XFCE, KDE, and GNOME.
-
-**XFCE:**
-
-XFCE is designed to be fast and minimalist
-
-**GNOME:**
-
-GNOME is simpler to use, and looks nicer. Of course, this comes  at the cost of performance (the difference isn't that much though).
-
-**KDE:**
-
-KDE is in between GNOME and XFCE in terms of performance and features. If you are unsure, KDE is a good choice.
-
-### Tiling windows managers:
-
-Tiling window managers are a lot more difficult to use, and aren't for  beginners. Navigation is usually done using the keyboard as opposed to  the mouse.
-
-## FOSS Software
-
-Below is an overview of some popular software for Linux. For more software and downloads, check out our Software Downloads section.
-
-### Web Browser - Firefox, Chromium
-
-Firefox is a standards-compliant open source web browser developed by the free  software community with the cooperation and support of Mozilla  Corporation. Firefox provides all essential features of a browser for  the modern web, and also a wide variety of add-ons that will undoubtedly satisfy anybody's needs and wants.
-
-Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code.
-
-### Office Suite - LibreOffice
-
-LibreOffice is a free and open source office suite. It includes key office  applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation  manager, and drawing program, all with a user interface and feature set  similar to other office suites.
-
-Sophisticated and flexible, LibreOffice also works transparently  with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office. It  primarily supports the Open Document Formats (ODF), such as .odt  (documents), .ods (spreadsheets), and .odp (presentations). Here at the  LUG, these are the formats we primarily use. Also, many European  governments are adopting ODF as the official format for electronic  documents. ODF and LibreOffice promotes total interoperability and  information integrity.
-
-### Instant Messaging - Pidgin, Empathy
-
-Pidgin is a messaging program that supports multiple protocols, including  XMPP/Jabber (e.g. Google Talk), IRC, MSN, AIM, ICQ, amd Yahoo!. It  features many plugins and has a large community surrounding it.
-
-Empathy is a messaging program that supports XMPP/Jabber (e.g.  Google Talk), SIP, IRC, MSN, AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo!. It supports voice and video calls (only for XMPP and SIP), and has excellent integration with the GNOME desktop.
-
-### Audio Player - VLC, MPlayer, Clementine
-
-VLC is famously known as the player that "plays everything." It can handle  DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more. You don't need to keep track of a dozen codec packs you need to have installed.  VLC has nearly all codecs built-in. It can even play the file or media  if it is damaged!
-
-- Comparison of audio player software - Wikipedia
-
-### Movie Player - MPlayer, VLC
-
-MPlayer is a movie player for Linux. It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, VIVO,  ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, and OGG files,  and some files for RealMedia. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx,  FLI, and even DivX movies too.
-
-Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported  output drivers. MPlayer supports displaying through a number of hardware MPEG decoder boards such as the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+ . And what  about nice, big anti-aliased shaded subtitles (9 supported types!!!)  with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, english, czech, etc), cyrillic,  korean fonts, and OSD.
-
-### Graphics Software - GIMP, Inkscape
-
-GIMP is a professional *raster* image manipulation program, and part of the GNU project. It is suitable for tasks such as photo retouching, image composition, image authoring, or any other task that requires manipulation of raster images.
-
-Inkscape is a professional *vector* image manipulation/creation program.
-
-### Programming - Gcc, Eclipse, Qt
-
-The GNU Compiler Collection contains frontends for C, C++, Objective C,  Chill, Fortran, and Java, as well as libraries for these languages. It  is a full-featured ANSI C compiler, with support for K&R C as well.
-
-GCC provides many levels of source code error checking  traditionally provided by other tools (such as lint), produces debugging information, and can perform many different optimizations to the  resulting object code.
-
-### Games
-
-A quick list of popular games that have been ported to Linux:
-
-- Civilization: Call to Power
-- Counter Strike
-- Counter Strike: Source
-- Descent 3
-- Doom 1/2/3
-- Half Life
-- Half Life: Source
-- Half Life 2 , HL2: E1, HL2: E2
-- Homeworld

-- Simcity 3000 Unlimited
-- Soldier Of Fortune
-- Team Fortress 2
-- Tribes 2
-- Unreal Tournament
-
-Here are some fun open source games:
-
-- SuperTux
-- SuperTuxKart
-- Xonotic

+title: LUG Constitution
+---
+
+## Article 1. Name
+
+This organization shall be referred to as the Linux Users Group at the
+University of California, Los Angeles (LUG@UCLA). The University of  California,
+Los Angeles will hereafter in this document be referred to  as "UCLA," or "the
+University."
+
+## Article 2. Statement of Purpose
+
+Linux is both a powerful, freely-available computer operating system and a
+fascinating sociological event with few parallels, the product of an
+international programmer community that exists independently of any  national
+boundaries.
+
+The LUG@UCLA's purpose is to facilitate learning, creativity, and the
+advancement of computer science. To accomplish this goal, LUG@UCLA  promotes the
+use of the Linux operating system at UCLA by encouraging  its use among
+students, faculty, staff, and University departments; by  providing a support
+network for Linux users; and by building a library  of Linux- related materials.
+
+In attempting to promote the use of Linux, we also encourage  programming under
+this operating system in the form of  student-coordinated projects. LUG@UCLA
+student projects must benefit the UCLA community, the Linux community, or any
+subsets of the two. All  software produced under the auspices of LUG@UCLA shall
+be distributed  under the GNU General Public License, or the GNU Lesser General
+Public  License, as appropriate.
+
+The group will have any number of projects being worked on at a  given time,
+each with its own methods of organization and  responsibility. The sole
+limitation on such projects is that they fall  within the rules and focus of
+LUG@UCLA.
+
+## Article 3. Membership
+
+### Section 1. General Membership
+
+LUG@UCLA grants membership to anyone who asks for it. There shall be no
+membership fee or interviews.
+
+### Section 2. Policy of Non-discrimination
+
+LUG@UCLA, in accordance with applicable Federal and State law and University
+Policy, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national  origin,
+religion, sex, disability, age, medical condition, ancestry,  marital status,
+citizenship, sexual orientation, or status as a veteran  of the Armed Forces.
+
+LUG@UCLA also prohibits sexual harassment. This  non-discrimination policy
+covers organization membership, access to  organization programs and activities,
+and the general treatment of  members in the organization.
+
+## Article 4. Offices and Elections
+
+LUG@UCLA shall operate on a collaborative style of leadership, employing one
+President, three Vice-Presidents, and one Treasurer. LUG@UCLA shall  elect
+officers once per academic year or as necessary. Only members  currently
+enrolled as UCLA undergraduate and graduate students are  eligible to hold
+office. All members of the group are allowed to vote in elections of the
+LUG@UCLA.
+
+We will use the approval voting system. Voters select which  candidates they
+approve of (they can select multiple), and the candidate with the most approvals
+wins.
+
+Ties will be broken by a game of SuperTuxKart.
+
+### President
+
+This individual is the official liaison to the University, handles all  school
+administrative issues, and is responsible for the group, its  regular LUG or
+Officer meetings, dealing with other clubs, giving  direction on LUG activity
+projects, and the delegation of tasks to be  carried out on behalf of the LUG.
+This individual is one of the 3  signatories at club registration time.
+
+### Vice President / External
+
+This officer handles corporate relations, letters of thanks, company visits,
+guest speakers, room reservations, and arranging for a food sponsor at
+Installfests, etc. This individual is one of the 3 signatories at club
+registration time.
+
+### Vice President / Marketing
+
+The Marketing Director is responsible for the general improvement of the
+groups's reputation and profile through advertisement and other means,
+organizing materials & club T-shirts for quarterly events &  resource fairs,
+directing publicity for the LUG, and growing LUG  identity and spirit.
+
+### Vice President / Internal
+
+Internally, this person is responsible for the System Admin in the Lug lounge,
+general hardware upkeep and maintenance of the Lounge and its  appearance, and
+is general ombudsman.
+
+### Treasurer

+The treasurer transfers LUG student club account funds and clears
+reimbursements. This person handles any financial matters, including  making
+financial records available to authorized University officials  upon request.
+This individual is one of the 3 signatories at club  registration time.
+Leadership will act analogous to package maintainers  in the open-source world.
+Anyone in the club is free to submit “patches” to the club. Officers should be
+involved in any meaningful changes to  the club, but should not have absolute
+authority on patches to the club.
+
+## Article 5. Meetings
+
+LUG@UCLA shall hold general meetings at least once a quarter. The meetings shall
+be open to the public—membership is not a requisite to attend.
+
+## Article 6. Amendments to the Constitution

+
+The Linux Users Group (LUG) facilitates learning and advancement  of computer
+science and free software by promoting the use of the open  source GNU/Linux
+operating system and providing a support network for  Linux users. There is no
+barrier to becoming a member; consequently, the LUG consists of students,
+non-students, inexperienced, and experienced  alike. The LUG has been a group at
+UCLA for over 25 years, during which  time it has helped expose free software to
+many people.
+
+> Please explain the benefit students may derive from your  organization.
+> Include how your group stimulates discussion, benefits  education, or provides
+> enrichment of any kind.
+
+The LUG maintains a Linux computer lab and servers that host  various digital
+services, which people can use to help familiarize  themselves with Linux and
+other standardized technologies. The LUG is a  constant source of Linux
+assistance to anybody that is in need. The LUG  holds talks and presentations
+introducing various topics in computer  science. Sometimes, group members engage
+in conversations surrounding  the politics and economics of Linux.
+
+> Please describe the goals of your organization.
+
+The goals of the LUG at UCLA parallels the goals of the thousands of other LUGs
+around the globe: to provide support and/or education for Linux users, both
+inexperienced and experienced. LUG at UCLA, being a  university LUG, has
+secondary goals that are more student-oriented: to  help with Linux-related
+coursework.

+description: "How to log in with an email client, change your password, and the latest updates on the upcoming multi-factor authentication (MFA) mandate."
+---
+
+---
+
+## NEW: Multi-Factor Authentication
+
+The University is mandating that multi-factor authentication (MFA) be enabled for all email accounts by May 1, 2025. Specifically, we are using [Cisco Duo](https://duo.com/docs/duounix) as our MFA service, to be consistent with MyUCLA, UCLA Google Apps, and the UCLA Campus VPN. Even if you have UCLA Duo set up already, this uses a slightly different instance belonging to UCLA Computer Science specifically.
+
+We have activated MFA starting on April 25. You must follow the below instructions to access your inbox.
+
+### Enrollment Instructions
+
+1. Install the Duo app on your mobile device ([iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827), [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duosecurity.duomobile&hl=en-US&pli=1)). You can also use a compatible [security key](https://guide.duo.com/security-keys).
+2. SSH into your virtual machine.
+3. Run `ssh [your username]@10.0.0.10` in the shell—this connects to the mail server.
+
+{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot from 2025-04-25 16-46-23.png" >}}
+
+4. You will be prompted to enroll in Duo MFA. Paste any one of the links into your browser and follow the on-screen instructions.
+
+{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 16-43-30 Duo Security - Device Management.png" >}}
+
+We recommend against using text messages as your authentication method, because they leave you vulnerable to [SIM swap attacks](https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/do-you-use-sms-for-two-factor-authentication-heres-why-you-shouldnt/).
+
+{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 16-43-47 Duo Security - Device Management.png" >}}

+
+{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot 2025-04-25 at 16-45-42 Duo Security - Device Management.png" >}}
+
+5. You can Ctrl+C out of the SSH password prompt once you've enrolled.
+
+6. Try rerunning the last SSH command. You should now get a Duo push on your phone, which logs you in once accepted.
+
+{{< figure src="/duo/IMG_6215.jpg" height="400" >}}
+
+{{< figure src="/duo/Screenshot from 2025-04-25 16-59-20.png" >}}
+
+Now would be a good time to change your password if you haven't done so already! Just run the `passwd` command on the "paris" server.
+
+7. Now, you can log into your email inbox as you did before, with the added step of accepting the Duo push on your phone.
+
+**NOTE:** your IMAP session is supposed to be cached for an hour to avoid spamming repeat Duo requests. Please contact us right away if this doesn't work as intended&mdash;hitting "deny" on the Duo pushes repeatedly will only lock you out of your account, requiring manual intervention from the CS Department! You can reach us on [Discord](/discord), [XMPP](https://xmpp.link/#main@room.linux.ucla.edu%3Fjoin), or use an alternative account to email [board@linux.ucla.edu](mailto:board@linux.ucla.edu).
+
+---
+
+## Logging in
+
+I am using the following settings with Thunderbird to get in. I haven't  tried it with another email client but you are welcome to.
+
+### SMTP
+
+Server Name: `mail.linux.ucla.edu`
+
+Port: `587`
+
+Authentication method: Normal password 
+
+Connection security: STARTTLS 
+
+### IMAP
+
+Server Name: `mail.linux.ucla.edu`
+
+Port: `993`
+
+Authentication method: Normal Password 
+
+Connection security: SSL/TLS 
+
+## Changing your password
+
+To change the password, SSH into your virtual machine and run the shell command `ssh [your  username]@10.0.0.10`. Accept the Duo MFA push, or follow the MFA enrollment instructions if it's your first time. Then use the `passwd` command to change your password.
+
+(Yes we know, this is a pretty crappy and inelegant solution, but it's good enough for now)

+---
+
+So what's this Linux thing all about? What does Linux look like? What software
+runs on Linux?
+
+## What is Linux about?
+
+You can find a good introduction to Linux
+[here](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/introduction-to-linux-operating-system/).
+
+## What does Linux look like?
+
+Over the last few years, Linux graphic user interfaces (GUI) have greatly
+improved. Click to view screenshots of the current desktop environments  offered
+by the Gnome and KDE Project.
+
+- [GNOME Overview](https://release.gnome.org/46/)
+- [KDE Overview](https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/)
+
+## How about software?
+
+There is a very large selection of software for Linux. You can
+[look here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications) for a start.
+
+According to the now-defunct freshmeat.net (a large index of software
+for Linux  and other Unices), there are over 23,000 projects in development.
+Many of these programs are Open Source and/or free.
+
+## Is it hard to make the switch?
+
+One of the biggest concerns for prospective Linux users is whether they will
+be able to use the same programs they did on Windows/macOS. People might have
+to use particular software for their jobs, after all. Thankfully, this isn't
+such a big problem anymore.
+
+Nowadays, more and more software ships with native Linux support, including
+[most](https://code.visualstudio.com/) [code](https://www.jetbrains.com/ides/)
+[IDEs](https://eclipseide.org/), and even some multimedia programs like
+[DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) and
+[Synthesizer V](https://dreamtonics.com/synthesizerv/).
+Even if this isn't the case for you, you still have options. Plenty of free
+alternatives to popular proprietary software exist (e.g.
+[GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) instead of Photoshop for image editing,
+[Krita](https://krita.org/en/) instead of PaintTool SAI
+for drawing, or [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/) instead of
+Microsoft Office). These programs are often compatible with the same file
+formats, too. Still, if you absolutely must use the same program that you ran
+on your Windows system, [Wine](https://www.winehq.org/) can be used to run
+.EXEs. [Proton](https://www.protondb.com/) works on top of Wine so you can even
+play many of the same PC games.
+
+Currently, Linux only holds about 4% market share amongst desktop PCs, but as
+the open source software ecosystem continues to evolve, and users get fed up
+with Microsoft and Apple's business practices, this number is sure to climb.
+
+## Getting Linux
+
+Interested in trying out Linux? Our Getting started page will step you though
+the  process of finding, installing, and tweaking Linux on your computer.
+
+Installing Linux can sometimes be difficult, but the LUG is here to help!
+
+1. back up all your data (see page on backups)
+2. pick a distribution
+3. decide if you want to dual boot with Windows/Mac or just overwrite everything
+4. install it:
+   - come to quarterly installfest
+   - stop by the lounge any time and somebody might help
+   - do it yourself!
+
+## Distros
+
+Choosing a distribution can be challenging! (Though it actually matters less
+than you think.)
+
+Here's a short and incomplete list to help you choose:
+
+### Debian-based
+1. Debian
+2. Ubuntu
+3. Linux Mint
+4. MX Linux
+5. Pop! OS
+6. Elementary OS
+7. Zorin OS
+8. Kali (for hackers)
+
+### Arch-based
+1. EndeavourOS
+2. Manjaro
+3. Garuda
+4. Arch (hard)
+5. Artix
+
+## RedHat-based
+1. Fedora
+2. Red Hat (usually used on servers, including the UCLA lnxsrvs)
+3. CentOS (Red Hat but without the tech support)
+4. OpenSUSE
+
+## Minimalist operating systems
+For advanced users:
+1. Void Linux
+2. Gentoo
+3. OpenBSD
+4. FreeBSD
+5. Slackware
+
+## Tips for selecting a distro
+If you are a beginner and you don't want to mess with the terminal that  much,
+choose a Debian based one like Mint. Most of the Debian ones just  work straight
+out of the box. There's also tons of support.
+
+If you have some experience (or you're a beginner who is fine  with using the
+terminal), you can try one of the Arch-based  distributions. Installing Arch
+takes a while, but it's actually not too  hard. If you're too lazy to install
+Arch, choose a distribution with a  graphical installer (like EndeavourOS).
+
+Here's a quiz you can try: https://distrochooser.de/en/
+
+## Comparing Arch and Debian
+
+Choose Arch-based distributions if you want a minimal distribution. Choose
+Debian based distributions if you want stability or ease of use.
+
+# Desktop Environment
+
+The **desktop environment** (DE) is what makes up most of the user interface. It
+may include system panels, docks, window borders, backgrounds, and desktop
+widgets, among  other things. GNU/Linux has a wide variety of DEs avaliable—this
+page  will outline some of the most popular ones.
+
+It is important to note that no DE is tied to a particular  GNU/Linux
+distribution, or vice versa. Thus, if your distribution of  choice is Debian,
+you may use GNOME, or KDE, or both GNOME and KDE (if  you installed both). You
+can install as many different DEs as you want  and try them all!
+
+The three main desktop environments are XFCE, KDE, and GNOME.
+
+* **XFCE:** XFCE is designed to be fast and minimalist
+* **GNOME:** GNOME is simpler to use, and looks nicer. Of course, this comes  at the cost of performance (the difference isn't that much though).
+* **KDE:** KDE is in between GNOME and XFCE in terms of performance and features. If you are unsure, KDE is a good choice.
+
+### Tiling windows managers:
+
+Tiling window managers are a lot more difficult to use, and aren't for
+beginners. Navigation is usually done using the keyboard as opposed to  the
+mouse.
+
+## FOSS Software
+
+Below is an overview of some popular software for Linux. For more software and
+downloads, check out our Software Downloads section.
+
+### Web Browser - Firefox, Chromium
+
+Firefox is a standards-compliant open source web browser developed by the free
+software community with the cooperation and support of Mozilla  Corporation.
+Firefox provides all essential features of a browser for  the modern web, and
+also a wide variety of add-ons that will undoubtedly satisfy anybody's needs and
+wants.
+
+Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws
+its source code.
+
+### Office Suite - LibreOffice
+
+LibreOffice is a free and open source office suite. It includes key office
+applications such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation  manager, and
+drawing program, all with a user interface and feature set  similar to other
+office suites.
+
+Sophisticated and flexible, LibreOffice also works transparently  with a variety
+of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office. It  primarily supports the
+Open Document Formats (ODF), such as .odt  (documents), .ods (spreadsheets), and
+.odp (presentations). Here at the  LUG, these are the formats we primarily use.
+Also, many European  governments are adopting ODF as the official format for
+electronic  documents. ODF and LibreOffice promotes total interoperability and
+information integrity.
+
+### Instant Messaging - Pidgin, Empathy
+
+Pidgin is a messaging program that supports multiple protocols, including
+XMPP/Jabber (e.g. Google Talk), IRC, MSN, AIM, ICQ, amd Yahoo!. It  features
+many plugins and has a large community surrounding it.
+
+Empathy is a messaging program that supports XMPP/Jabber (e.g.  Google Talk),
+SIP, IRC, MSN, AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo!. It supports voice and video calls (only for
+XMPP and SIP), and has excellent integration with the GNOME desktop.
+
+### Audio Player - VLC, MPlayer, Clementine
+
+VLC is famously known as the player that "plays everything." It can handle
+DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more. You don't need to
+keep track of a dozen codec packs you need to have installed.  VLC has nearly
+all codecs built-in. It can even play the file or media  if it is damaged!
+
+- Comparison of audio player software - Wikipedia
+
+### Movie Player - MPlayer, VLC
+
+MPlayer is a movie player for Linux. It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, VIVO,
+ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, and OGG files,  and some
+files for RealMedia. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx,  FLI, and even DivX
+movies too.
+
+Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported  output drivers.
+MPlayer supports displaying through a number of hardware MPEG decoder boards
+such as the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+ . And what  about nice, big anti-aliased
+shaded subtitles (9 supported types!!!)  with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian,
+english, czech, etc), cyrillic,  korean fonts, and OSD.
+
+### Graphics Software - GIMP, Inkscape
+
+GIMP is a professional *raster* image manipulation program, and part of the GNU
+project. It is suitable for tasks such as photo retouching, image composition,
+image authoring, or any other task that requires manipulation of raster images.
+
+Inkscape is a professional *vector* image manipulation/creation program.
+
+### Programming - Gcc, Eclipse, Qt
+
+The GNU Compiler Collection contains frontends for C, C++, Objective C,  Chill,
+Fortran, and Java, as well as libraries for these languages. It  is a
+full-featured ANSI C compiler, with support for K&R C as well.
+
+GCC provides many levels of source code error checking  traditionally provided
+by other tools (such as lint), produces debugging information, and can perform
+many different optimizations to the  resulting object code.
+
+### Games
+A quick list of popular games that have been ported to Linux:
+- Civilization: Call to Power
+- Counter Strike
+- Counter Strike: Source
+- Descent 3
+- Doom 1/2/3
+- Half Life
+- Half Life: Source
+- Half Life 2 , HL2: E1, HL2: E2

+
+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!

+
+Eduroam is an international roaming service for students, based on WPA2
+Enterprise. Along with UCLA_WEB, it is a highly available network on campus.
+
+## Connecting to eduroam
+[NetworkManager](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networkmanager) fully supports
+WPA2. The simplest way to connect is to use a graphical frontend for
+NetworkManager. A minimalist option is to install `nm-applet` and
+`nm-connection-editor` , then fill in the following settings:
+
+| Setting              | Value                 |
+| -------------------- | --------------------- |
+| Security             | WPA & WPA2 Enterprise |
+| Authentication       | Protected EAP (PEAP)  |
+| PEAP version         | Automatic             |
+| Inner authentication | MSCHAPv2              |
+| Username             | *USERNAME*@ucla.edu   |
+| Password             | your UCLA password    |
+
+Note that setting "Do not require CA certificate" can be a security risk. If
+an attacker is impersonating UCLA eduroam, then he can steal your UCLA
+credentials. For added security, follow the guide on [UCLA KB](https://ucla.service-now.com/support?id=kb_article&sys_id=KB0010959), and manually check the certificate:
+
+```
+Certificate Serial Number: 00 9F 1E 08 E5 C2 D9 F5 1D FC 52 66 9C 40 48 5D 90
+SHA-256 Fingerprint of the Key: D8 62 DB 03 27 45 D1 AC 2E 36 0F 47 CA 9F 98 87 8F 30 6D A1 A5 31 AD 16 67 01 87 99 45 0D A0 D4
+SHA1 Fingerprint of the Key: A3 11 21 86 DB 31 24 B2 56 0D 8F FB 86 47 C9 0A 8F 36 5D 78
+```
+
+For more information, see [UCLA IT page](https://it.ucla.edu/support-training/tutorials/connecting-campus-wireless-network),
+and for a more advanced setup, see the [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#eduroam).
+
+For other networks (like UCLA_SECURE_RES), going to the following website:
+http://nmcheck.gnome.org/ should bring up the "Accept terms and conditions"
+page.
+
+## Connecting to UCLA VPN
+The UCLA VPN allows you to access campus resources as even when you are away from
+campus. This is useful for downloading scientific journals, for example.
+
+Open `nm-connection-editor` or a NetworkManager frontend from your desktop
+environment, and add a Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection with the following
+settings:
+
+| Setting              | Value                 |
+| -------------------- | --------------------- |
+| VPN Protocol             | Cisco AnyConnect or OpenConnect|
+| Gateway             | ssl.vpn.ucla.edu |
+| User Agent             | AnyConnect Linux_64 4.10.07061 |
+| CA certificate             | None |
+
+The same note about the security risk applies when you set CA certificate to
+none. After adding the VPN entry, launch `nm-applet`, connect to the VPN, and
+set the following
+```
+username: USERNAME
+password: YOUR_PASSWORD/DUO_OTP
+```
+
+Note that you should append to your password after typing it a forward slash and
+the two factor authentication code from your DUO OTP.
