Ansible/Linux Basics Review

Erin, Gary and I will go through some Linux basics. No formal class, more like a discussion/workshop.

Part of the goal will be to use Ansible to "describe the environment" at least at a basic level. No prior knowledge of Linux or Ansible required. You can focus on the Linux manual methods and/or pay attention to the Ansible note taking and get something out of it.

We'll have free coffee and breakfast snacks in the morning, pizza for lunch!
