RCC EXPEDITION — START HERE
===========================

This local course is for new RCC users on current macOS or Windows 11.

FASTEST START — NO INSTALLATION
-------------------------------
1. Extract the downloaded ZIP completely.
2. Double-click:

       START HERE.html

3. Choose "Open the course now".

The course runs from the extracted folder. You may optionally add its Desktop
shortcut and readiness helpers later. You do not need Python, Homebrew, Git,
VS Code, a university account, eduroam, or RCC access to begin.

DATENSPARSAM — NO EXTERNAL MONITORING
-------------------------------------
RCC Expedition is self-contained and local.

There is:
  - no learner server;
  - no analytics;
  - no telemetry;
  - no central progress database;
  - no supervisor dashboard.

The course does not upload progress, workstation status, answers, files,
credentials, recovery keys, or SSH private keys.

Course progress stays in the browser on this computer. Local status tools
write only coarse PASS/WARN/FAIL/UNKNOWN results.

External websites are contacted only when you click a clearly marked external
reference. RCC is contacted only when you deliberately run an SSH/RCC
exercise.

SECURITY BOUNDARY
-----------------
A privately maintained or research workstation used for RCC must not be
turned into a clinical hospital endpoint.

Do not use hospital/clinical VPN as a route from this workstation into the
clinical network. Do not connect an unmanaged research laptop or desktop to
clinical/internal networks merely because they are physically available.

For hospital-only clinical resources, use an appropriately managed hospital
endpoint.

For ordinary Internet connectivity, use eduroam when eligible and available.
Where locally provided, Stiftungsnetz may be used as a temporary/semi-official
Internet bootstrap route. This course makes no undocumented claim about its
isolation.
