Running Linux at Home
To give you an opportunity to become more familiar with Linux and UNIX, consider running a Linux distribution on your own machine if you can. I suggest looking at Ubuntu or Debian (the distribution used in the lab).
If you don't want to dual boot from Windows/MacOS X or you just don't want to worry about repartitioning, you can run Linux in a virtual machine. See Running Linux in a Virtual Machine for more information.
