Computer Science Public Machines

The following machines are for CS student and faculty use.

• sisko - Dual Athlon64 - Debian LINUX.
  
• kira - Dual Athlon64 - Debian LINUX.
  
• kirk - Dual Athlon MP 1800 - Debian LINUX .
  
• spock - Dual Athlon MP 2000 - Debian LINUX . These four machines are the fastest systems available for student use. They serve mainly as Xterminal servers (for two labs of Linux-based Xterminals (see www.ltsp.org for more details on the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP)). They also function as remote login servers (via SSH).

• tinman - Sun UltraSparc running Solaris. This machine is used mostly for Oracle.
• emcity - Sun UltraSparc running Solaris. This machine is used mostly for Oracle.

• obrien, dax, chapel, bashir, sulu, odo, quark, scotty, kahless, uhura, tpau - HP/Compaq Optiplex 2.8Ghz PCs running Debian LINUX. These machines are in an open lab with Xwindows on them. They run the same software as sisko, kira, kirk or spock. The lab is open to any CS student during regular posted lab hours. Users should use these machines locally rather than logging into sisko, etc. as they have the SAME software as the bigger machines without the user load of the larger servers.

• sinclair, delenn, sheridan, lochley, garibaldi, franklin, gkar, londo, zack, lyta, kosh - HP/Compaq Optiplex 2.8Ghz PCs running Debian LINUX. These machines are in an open lab with Xwindows on them. They have the same software as the main servers. The lab is open to any CS student during posted lab hours.

• Two labs of LTSP Xwindows terminals booting from kirk, spock, sisko and kira (approximately 20 machines total).
