Side projects
Working with the course's ideas outside of class is essential to integrating the information of the course. You should be already finding computer projects that need to be done, or ones that you want to do. People are probably asking you for help with their computers. In order to recognize these side projects, you should create some documentation for them.
Create a wiki page for each side project. If you have a lot of them, you may want to make a SideProject page to list them all on. Periodically, you should show off your project to the class and teacher.

APT stands for Advanced Packaging Tool. It is used to get software, which is organized in packages and stored online. Through APT, you can specify the software or package and it will be automatically downloaded. When you do this, apt will ask you for your admin or root password.
