| − | Depending on what operating system you use, you will need to have a particular piece of (free!) software on '''that''' machine to properly connect to and work with the [[UNIX]] systems.

| − | 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 ===
| |
| − | Windows users will need [[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.

| − | If you are working from a machine that is connected to the internet, but not on the Duke internet, you will need to use a VPN connection to validate your existence. See more information on that at [https://oit.duke.edu/net-security/network/remote/vpn/ Connecting by Virtual Private Network].

| − | === Connecting ===
| |
| − | For Mac users only - the '''very first time''' you open the terminal window, you need to type <code>xhost +</code> to tell your computer to allow incoming graphical windows. Windows users will not need to perform this step.

| − | To connect to the virtual Linux machines, simply open your terminal window and type
| |
| − | ssh -XY NetID@login.oit.duke.edu
