Linux Servers and the Cluster

Overview

Linux is a free clone of the Unix operating system that runs on many different harware platforms. Information about Linux abounds on the web, one place to start is http://www.linux.org/. Linux, unlike Windows is a true multiuser and multitasking operating system. Users may log onto Linux machines using the tried and true ssh protocol and run any of the software  installed on the machine. Currently, we have Linux Servers  4,5,6 and 10 and a Computation Cluster (thirteen-01, thirteen-02,...). 

To access a Linux machine in this department you need to be a student, staff or faculty in our department. Terminal windows may be opened from any machine with an ssh client installed. X Windows programs may also be run if you are running a X Windows client on your local machine.
