ITL Linux Build

This page summarizes how the ITL Lab Build is maintained.

Currently the build is running Ubuntu 10.10 LTS. When packages requested by the instructors or security updates are required, they are applied to one machine and then cloned out to the rest of the machines. This process occurs roughly at the beginning of every semester. The ITL is the only student run lab on campus.
