Category:Computers Available on the CS Network

he CS Department is split between two networks.

   * The Research/Grad Net

   * The Undergrad (or Ugrad) Net

You will usually hear us refer to these nets by those names.

The Grad and Ugrad nets are both completely different... different e-mail addresses, different accounts, different locations, different home directories. The Ugrad network machines have disk quotas as well.

The Grad Network is made up of Unix machines, mostly Linux (Fedora Core) and some Solaris. If you're a Masters student, you'll want to work in the Masters' Office located in NEB Room 332. Please obtain a key from Debbie in NEB 224 (the main CS office) for that room. There are several Linux machines available in that area for general use. A printer is located there as well. Please make sure you lock your computer screen anytime you leave the room. If you will be gone for a long period of time, please log out, so that others may use the machine.

If you're a PhD student, please check with your faculty advisor for your room assignment and computer assignment. You might be assigned a computer that the CS Dept. Computer Staff supports, or you might be assigned a computer supported by your lab admin.

The Undergrad network is made up of Linux machines, Windows machines, and a printer. The Undergrad Lab, located in NEB 225/227, is split into two sections. As you come in the main door, that's the CS Collaboration Room, a great spot for working on group projects. That room consists of Linux machines. Off that room is a door leading to the main Undergrad Lab. There, you will find both Linux and Windows machines, as well as the Ugrad printer.
