# The New Room
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In the Room we currently have 3 PCs with i5 processors and SSDs but, we may be able to acquire more if we can show evidence of the room being used. The PCs have Fedora 27 installed on them, this was chosen for it's ease of use for both users and admins. The machines are configured with a central login server as well as networked home directories. (You will not be able to access your University home directories from these computers but if you know how to do this please [help us](https://forums.freeside.co.uk/t/g-drive-mounting-script/30))
|
||||
If you are wanting software installed on the machines you can follow the instructions to do so [here](https://github.com/FreesideHull/Freeside-Fabfiles) or make a request [here](https://forums.freeside.co.uk/c/freeside/requests).

# What Else Is New?
|
||||
The most obvious change if you have previously visited this blog is the different look - that’s because we switched to [Jekyll!](https://jekyllrb.com/) Ghost was great, but because of the lack of LDAP support (the system we use to centralise logins) we decided to drop it for a static [git managed](https://github.com/FreesideHull/Freeside-Blog) site.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We now have a [Forum](https://forums.freeside.co.uk) for discussion relating to Freeside, General chit chat and most importantly pictures of your cute cats. Be sure to head over to the Forum and [introduce yourself](https://forums.freeside.co.uk/c/introductions)!

This is an introductory post to Freeside, a loose group of students who use Linux and want to educate themselves (and others!) about alternative open computing.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to find us
|
||||
Our physical space is a new Lab that has been purpose built - the _Ritche Lab_ - which is located next to LTD on the 3rd floor of the Robert Blackburn building. It contains computers running Fedora Linux for all students to use - simply register an account [here](https://profiles.freeside.co.uk/join) to get your login credentials. There's more information about our new Lab in our [recent blog post](https://freeside.co.uk/2018/04/15/freeside-is-now-open)!

## Goals
|
||||
This year, we would like to grow Freeside as a group such that it can be self-sustaining in the future. Currently, the group has very few active members, but with the new room and [forums](https://forums.freeside.co.uk/) we hope to change this by providing a useful place for for both beginners and the more experienced alike to learn about Linux.

|
||||
|
||||
We'd also like to do some educational workshops in collaboration with [HullCSS](http://hullcss.org/) to teach valuable Linux-related skills to students. In today's world, having knowledge of Linux gives a competitive edge when starting a career - especially due to its ubiquity in the server world.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep an eye on our social media ([Twitter](https://twitter.com/freesidehull), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/freesideHull/)) for upcoming events!

## Help out!
|
||||
We're always looking for more people to help out. Whether you're an experienced Linux user or just starting out, there are lots of ways that you can contribute! Check out [our forums](https://forums.freeside.co.uk) for a list of things that need doing - you're welcome to propose new ideas too!
