3 Accounts

The practical work of this course can be done on Linux or Windows. I recommend Linux.
CECS Account thor.cs.wright.edu
1. This is a large Linux server. Intel Xeon 24 core CPU X5680, 132 GB RAM, etc.
2. Unless you have a "named" account (not cs7140xy), your files will be wiped out soon after the finals.
3. All work needs to be submitted using ~cs714000/turnin
WSU Account unixapps1.wright.edu
1. As a student of WSU, you have an account (named as in w123abc) on this Linux server.
2. You can set up your own web site on this machine in the directory ~/www/
3. Read https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/
These two machines do not share userids or passwords.
