UNIX

UNIX is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, development starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center. The OS made it possible for a lot of users to interact with a single machine at the same time. Before, this was done by a batch process via an operator/administrator.

Rasperry Pi

Raspberry Pi is a small single board computer used for learning basic computer science.

Basic tasks & experiments:

Logging into the Raspberry Pi
printing with Matrix printer, ascii word-art generator (more), text-to-speech
creating public_html directory and index.html on the Sandbox (note: remote login not possible)
modifying texts (bio) through Terminal using Dadadodo and SED (changing and replacing certain characters)
working with Unix HTML - editor: ne nice editor
chaining programs a.k.a PIPING (command: |) / concatonate files (command: CAT)

IP adres of the Pi:

145.24.139.127

Copying files from personal machine to Sandbox:

scp file.txt username@145.24.139.127:/home/username
