by | Jun 6, 2022 | Business

Here’s a detailed guide to carrying out your plan:

  1. Choose a Linux Distribution:
  • Ubuntu LTS: Beginner-friendly, stable, good for AI development with tools like TensorFlow and PyTorch. Download the latest LTS version.
  • Fedora: More recent software packages, better hardware compatibility, good for AI with tools like Anaconda and scikit-learn. Download the latest version.
  • Other options: Linux Mint, Manjaro, Debian – choose based on your experience and specific needs.
  1. Create a Bootable USB Drive:
  • Download Etcher: https://etcher.balena.io/
  • Insert your USB drive (8GB+ recommended).
  • Run Etcher and select the downloaded ISO file for your chosen Linux distribution.
  • Flash the ISO onto the USB drive (be sure to back up any data on the drive).
  1. Prepare the Dell Vostro 1520:
  • Backup important data: Your existing drive will be formatted during installation.
  • Disable Secure Boot: Enter BIOS settings (F2 key during boot) and disable Secure Boot (if enabled).
  • Change Boot Order: Set USB drive as the first boot priority in BIOS settings.
  1. Install Linux:
  • Insert the bootable USB drive and restart the Vostro 1520.
  • Choose “Try Ubuntu/Fedora” (varies based on distro) to test the system.
  • If happy, click “Install Ubuntu/Fedora” and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Choose the “Erase entire disk” option or create partitions if you want dual-booting with Windows.
  • Create a user account and set a strong password.
  • Complete the installation and restart the laptop.
  1. Enable RDP for Remote Access:
  • Ubuntu: Install and configure xrdp: sudo apt install xrdp
  • Fedora: Install and configure FreeRDP: sudo dnf install freerdp
  • Configure firewall rules: Open ports 3389 (RDP) and 5900 (X11 forwarding) in your firewall.
  • Test RDP connection from another computer using your Vostro 1520’s IP address.
  1. Setting Up AI Agents:
  • Install Python and necessary libraries: sudo apt install python3 python3-pip (or equivalent for Fedora)
  • Install your desired AI framework (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.) and libraries.
  • Develop your AI agent code or download pre-trained models.
  • Run your AI agents script in the background using screen or tmux for continuous operation.

Additional Tips:

  • Consider virtualizing your AI development environment using Docker or Vagrant for easier management and isolation.
  • Use a system monitoring tool like htop or glances to monitor CPU, memory, and network usage.
