1. Explain in writing what are packages. A package bundles a program's files (code,
configuration, documentation) for easy installation. This simplifies software management
compared to installing single files. Ex: .deb` (Debian) and `.rpm (Red Hat) packages.
2. Explain in writing what are repositories. A repository aka a Repo is a central storage site
for software packages. It's a catalogue of available software. This allows you to easily
search, download, and update with sudo apt update on Ubuntu.
3. Explain in writing where to find repositories. Depository locations depend on the OS and
package manager. Ubuntu uses `/etc/apt/sources.list` and files in `/etc/apt/sources.list.
To Definition repositories. You don't need to find them manually; the packaging manager
handles this.
4. Explain in writing how to install a repository. To add a third-party repository, add its URL
to a `/etc/apt/sources.list` file (or a file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`) and then run `sudo
apt update`. Only use trusted repositories.
5. Explain in writing what RAIDs are and why they are used: RAID Combines multiple hard
drives to improve performance, storage capacity, or data redundancy. Different RAID
levels provide different trade-offs. For example, RAID 0 improves speed, while RAID 1 and 5
add redundancy.
6. Explain in writing what RAID parity. RAID levels (like RAID 5 and RAID 6), parity
information is calculated and stored across the drives. If a drive fails, this parity data
allows rebuilding. It's a data recovery checksum.
7. Screenshot how to find repos for Ubuntu.
Command line to get GitHub repos. Ex: git clone https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer
/home/user/Desktop
Or
Sudo Apt Install “repo name”
Another way to find repos on Ubuntu is Screenshotted Below
8. Screenshot how to create a user and a group.
Full scale Creation using the CLI to create a user, and group, and setting the password
without using GUI. This wasn’t specifically requested in 4.4, But i wanted to showcase the
manual way, and also did this for Win Server 2019.
9. Screenshot how to change ownership in the command line (What command does look
like)
1. Example Ubuntu:
2. Windows Server 2019:
In closing, don’t mind the red. I was trying to execute Change Ownership and Permissions
a different way with a different command, and one of my terms wasn’t acknowledged, so I
kept it basic. Per this Assignments requirements. I enjoyed this hands on lab experience
and one letter of recommendation would be to update to windows server 2022 or higher to
allow students easier ways to create groups, and users through the tools page. In 2019
Specifically this isn’t a feature. This would allow them a smoother ride. But overall great
job making them learn professor on 2019!! Makes students think outside of the box and do
homework if they have never used AD.
