- 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
- For Mac, XQuartz needs to be installed for graphics to work.
- If you are logging in from a Windows machine, you can use a terminal emulator such as putty, BitVise or TeraTerm.
- The hostname would be wonko.bi.up.ac.za, the user name would be the user name provided to you, and the authentication method would be password.
- If you need to use graphics from a Windows client, you can download XMing.
