Category:Linux Clients

The CS Dept has various computing labs that house desktop Fedora-based Linux workstations. We also provide remotely accessible (via ssh) Fedora Linux systems as well. These Linux systems are available for educational use (course work.)

There are two groups of Linux systems that we maintain.

• Grad Net Linux systems. Available to CS Faculty, grad students, researchers, postdocs, instructors, and staff.

• Ugrad Net Linux systems. Available to CS Faculty, grad students, researchers, postdocs, instructors, staff, and, of course,... ugrad students.

Generally, the software packages installed on both the Grad Net and Ugrad Net Linux systems are identical. However, the user login accounts are different (so, user accounts must be applied for separately.) Also, the Ugrad Net Linux systems implement disk quotas, while the Grad Net Linux systems do not (although, we ask that you do not over-extend your Grad Net disk usage, as others are sharing the same disk space.).

NOTE: These Linux systems are mostly directed towards course work, but can be used for light research. Keep in mind that most of our focus on these systems is to make sure their resources are geared towards, and available for, the education side of the department.
