If there is more than one document in your answer, compress your files into a tarball, ie .tgz, or .tar.gz if you write it in Linux. .zip-files are OK, but not.rar.

Put your initials somewhere in the filename. Eg: lesson1_NML.tgz

Mail it as an attachment to a mail to <nml@eaaa.dk>.
Put the token linux somewhere in the subject line, eg: Assignments linux
