Linux boxes

There are currently 40 linux machines available. They are named l03 - l42. These are intended primarily for imaging work.

Linux User Group wiki

There is a CBU linux user group wiki here, but there isn't much in it

Setting up a connection to a unix machine

The recommended way to do this is to use !PuTTY to establish a connection then, if required, use VNC to run X. Links to pages elsewhere in the unit are given below:

If you find you can't copy and paste between your PC and Unix, try typing "vncconfig&" on the linux machine you are runing your vnc session on.

File space and quotas

Home direcctory space is limited to about 10Gb. If you need to store more data you can use the language group space on /group/language/data. Make yourself a directory called /group/language/data/firstname.lastname: 

cd /group/language/data
mkdir firstname.lastname

Note, if you just type 'ls /group' you won't usually see the files below /group. You need to use the full pathname.

You might want to put a symbolic link in your home directory (like a Windows shortcut, or a Macintosh alias) using the ln command: 

ln -s /group/language/data/firstname.lastname WhateverYouWantToCallIt
