All labs are done in normal user-space. No special system privileges (such as "root") are required. Send all lab assignments (including design docs) directly to the TA. Homework assignments come to me in class on the due date.
The labs have been listed with the chapters that cover that material. Since we will be covering a chapter per week, you may actually be working on more than one lab at a time. Please label homework by CHAPTER NUMBER, not sequential assignment number.
Note: TJW login IDs and passwords (used to access Linux) will be given out in class.
Legend for Lab Assignments:

| *x | any UNIX-like system (BSD, Linux, Solaris) |
