Boot Linux or OpenBSD on the PowerBook G4 (PowerPC/ppc32)

Creating the USB sticks

Use an older USB 2.0 stick, newer ones will most certainly not work.

sudo dd if=debian-11.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso of=/dev/sda1 status=progress # Or use GNOME Disks, Etcher etc.

What to Expect and Tips

• 45-minute systems interview, focus on responding to real world problems with an unhealthy service, such as a web server or database. The interview will start off at a high level troubleshooting a likely scenario, dig deeper to find the cause and some possible solutions for it. The goal is to probe your knowledge of systems at scale and under load, so keep in mind the challenges of the Facebook environment.
• Focus on things such as tooling, memory management and unix process lifecycle.

Systems

More specifically, linux troubleshooting and debugging. Understanding things like memory, io, cpu, shell, memory etc. would be pretty helpful. Knowing how to actually write a unix shell would also be a good idea. What tools might you use to debug something? On another note, this interview will likely push your boundaries of what you know (and how to implement it).

Design/Architecture

Interview is all about taking an ambiguous question of how you might build a system and letting

	# 1. Install Linux normally
	# 2. Boot from Linux live usb drive
	# 3. Most likely /dev/sda1 but it can be something else:
	mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
	mkdir -p /mnt/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
	# 5. Depending on if it is ubuntu, centos or any other distro:
	cp /mnt/EFI/centos/grubx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
	# I don't remember but I think it was like this.

	Note for me to remember how to set Android Home on Mac

	Open Terminal and type in..
	nano ~/.bash_profile
	Add the below paths
	The path should be where your android installation is located
	export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk
	export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
	Save file and type in terminal...
	source ~/.bash_profile

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	# exit on error
	set -o errexit

	STORAGE_DIR=/opt/render/project/.render

	if [[ ! -d $STORAGE_DIR/chrome ]]; then
	echo "...Downloading Chrome"
	mkdir -p $STORAGE_DIR/chrome
	cd $STORAGE_DIR/chrome
