New support for Linux OS on ODU-managed computers

The ITS Desktop Support Group now supports Linux workstations here at ODU. We've established secure system baseline images for Ubuntu 18.04 and Red Hat 8 that we can revert to in the event of any hardware or software issues.

DSG support means your TSP can help troubleshoot Linux issues and provide regular operating system and software updates through Ivanti.

Benefits of Linux

  • Strong data encryption
  • Built-in malware resistance
  • Open source code
  • Frequent security patching
  • Wide selection of cost effective software

Contact your TSP if you have any questions about Linux at ODU. We will continue to update this page as we improve Linux support for our ODU community.
