No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: General technical comfort, networking knowledge a plus
Free yourself from your hard drive! Come learn about the current state of the art in booting computers completely over the network using a centralized server. The class will be split between demonstration, tutorial, and technical explanation, so people of all backgrounds should be able to take away something useful. Topics covered will include installing Linux without a CD-ROM, installing to and booting from network-attached storage, booting securely with user authentication, booting wirelessly, flashing network boot code into a BIOS, and how all this stuff is currently used at MIT. Most demonstrations will focus on the open-source network booting firmware gPXE.
