What is LOUD?
LOUD (LCSEE Optimized Ubuntu Distribution) is a modified version of the Ubuntu Linux distribution used within West Virginia University's computer science department. In addition to the standard Ubuntu packages, LCSEE Systems also maintains several packages containing software and scripts for use in the department's classes.
LOUD started after a decision was made to give the LCSEE teaching and open-use computer labs an easily maintained standard development environment. The LOUD platform is available in the department's computing facilities, on Shell Servers, and for installation on personally-owned computers.
