| − | === Checking Machines ===
| |
| − | Want to see which machines are working? Try Dr. G's new script: [http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/UTILS/sites.html Ping Results] - this web page should be updated about every 30 minutes.

| − | === Mac Users ===
| |
| − | Mac users will need [[X11]] or [[XQuartz]]. X11 is generally installed with OS 10.5 through 10.7; 10.4 users will need to install it. 10.6 and above users will want to install XQuartz. Information on each is at the [[X11]] page.

| − | === Windows Users ===
| |
| − | Starting with the Fall 2014 semester, Windows users should use [[MobaXterm]] to connect. This program contains both the terminal program and the X-Windows protocol in one free package. Note that at present Duke's public machines most likely do not have MobaXterm installed -- people wishing to use Duke's public machines to do work on Linux systems are thus advised to log in using the Mac boot and run [[X11]] as noted above.<!--

| − | To work from home, Windows users will need to install [[X-Win 32]] and [[PuTTY]]. When you install [[X-Win 32]], you will also need to follow the instructions OIT has provided regarding licensing. More info on the [[X-Win 32]] page. | |

| − | When you install [[PuTTY]] and run it, the first time through you will need to create a session to connect to one of the Teer machines; after that, you can just use that session. More on the [[PuTTY]] page.-->

| − | === All Cases ===
| |
| − | In all cases, you do '''not''' need to install anything else. [[emacs]], [[LaTeX]], [[evince]], and everything else you need will be on the [[UNIX]] systems - you will not have them on your own machines.
