	Feel free to peruse that, run 'man <command>' if you like, but ~~it's not even~~ close to ~~all of them~~, so probably more comfortably, consider checking out some Ubuntu tutorials online and/or ask for help at #the-grid on Freeside's Discord server. If you hate the terminal, ask about graphical interfaces. Linux distributions have access to some really great ones of all sorts, and they're usually extremely customisable.

	There is so much depth here, and you can do some incredibly neat stuff given a little determination. Again, just ask a lot of questions, and have fun!

	The original project idea was for this system to serve as a NAS, and it's currently doing so for local Linux systems via nfs. Win10/11 machines are a little more finicky as they reject guest connections to remote systems in their group policy by default. We're in the process of configuring samba for these clients.

	Proposed future projects include an LLM-based bot to answer questions about the space such as tool locations and Freeside storytime, a Discourse server to potentially get us off of (a rapidly enshittifying) Discord, various tools to help the admin crew manage the space, personal member containers for their own development, a general learning environment for folks who are new to Linux-based systems, and plenty of other neat apps.
