How to install software on Linux?
I'm sure most of the class knows this already. When making the switch to Linux many people ask themselves "What software is available and how do I install it?. In the past Linux suffered from stigma that applications were scarce and the apps that were available were a challenge to install. Package Managers is a sub-system on Linux that manages software on your computer. Its a crucial component of Linux because it keeps everything installed. Installing software is not as hard as it used to be in the past. In rare occasions sometimes you need to install something form the command line.

As Debian comes to Windows 10, should we worry Microsoft will 'embrace, extend, and extinguish' Linux?
Microsoft has recently announced that you’d be able to install and run multiple distros side-by-side on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux, a compatibility layer). (Luis has already posted about Kali being available).
You can now download Debian through the Windows Store. In the near future, you will be able to run multiple distros on Windows.
The author of the article is concerned Microsoft is trying to eliminate the concept of running Linux natively, but for now there's no evidence of sinister intents.

The Memcached feature on Linux was the way hackers were able to run a DDoS attack on GitHub. Memcashed is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls. In these attacks, hackers inundate servers with small UDP-based packets. This DDoS attack was one of the longest attack ever recorded and lasted eight minutes.
