How can I install Linux on my machine?
You can have a look at these slides.
How can I change the keyboard layout (from French to US) of the Linux machines at UFR IM2AG?
You can use the following command line:
setxkbmap us
You can also do this using the graphical user interface (through the “region and laguage settings”).
How can I change the language (from French to English) of the Linux machines at UFR IM2AG?
Open the .bashrc file in your home directory and add the following lines. Then, log out from your Linux session and log in again.
export LANG="en_US.utf8"
export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
export LANGUAGE="en_US"
Note: this does not affect the menus of the graphical user interface.
