Installing and configuring unattended-upgrades to manage automating updates. Debian wiki entry: https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades

In this video I demonstrate adding a repository along with a high level explanation of apt pinning and my opinion on why you may want explore other options before resorting to adding testing and/or unstable to the apt sources configuration. In the next part I'll cover installing and configuring unattended upgrades. Comment if you'd like me to cover apt pinning in action, configuring backports, marking/holding packages, or other aspects of apt.

Administering Linux groups

Basics of configuring and running sudo.

In this video, I run through a basic Arch Linux install. For the purpose of this install the "linux-firmware" package will take care of everything I need for the virtual machine to work out of the box. Depending on your hardware, results may vary. As mentioned in the video, I recently installed on a laptop and didn't have to do anything extra and did not have any issues with hardware functionality. Technically, the following packages will get you up and running with a functional system: base, linux, and linux-firmware. See the wiki for more info/exceptions.
