Ongoing Projects
Lab Management

The Lab Management project maintains its own variation of Fedora Core on the computers in the open source lab we run. They make sure that students are able to use the computers for both schoolwork and fun, and maintain the goal of making open source more available to students here at Clarkson. Students working on this project gain experience in installing and maintaining their own Linux distribution, as well as learn lab management and system management skills.
