Phase .0015

Have completed installing an OS into the test laptop.
I have managed to grasp the beginning part of system administration and have begun understanding how to install operating systems
so my goal of learning the entirety of system administration is at its halfway point
The rate that everything is going remains within an acceptable range, at this point I can already use Linux commands, set up a router, and install an OS. Things that i had no idea how to accomplish back at the beginning, i will remain in this project for the next quarter so that i may polish and acquire more skills in this project

Phase .0014

Observed OS installation process
I will attempt to do so on my own
as soon as possible by following the same
procedures as the ones observed, though most
likely using different data.

other laptop soon.

Phase .0012

Making preparations to replace
Fedora operating system on the two laptops
with Ubuntu. Acquiring the the data to do so will need
to be done another day due to the large amount of time
needed to do so and the lack of someone to acquire it after the download is
complete. Until a suitable time is set, i will research the process to
successfully replace the system.

Phase .0010

A new router is being constructed to act as
a test subject as to whether the URL filter will be a
liability or an asset. Construction will continue tomorrow,
though the day of its completion has yet to be estimated.

Phase .0009

Found that a URL filter would assist in making a whitelist on
the ipcop router. Details came from this site,
with this the project will most likely be completed soon.
