- All our servers run Linux
- If you need an introduction to Linux, we would recommend: The Linux Command Line.
- You would usually log into our head (login node). It is called wonko.bi.up.ac.za.
- An example from a Linux or Mac terminal session:
> ssh username@wonko.bi.up.ac.za
or if graphics forwarding is needed:
> ssh -X user@wonko.bi.up.ac.za
