<div>Hello ALErs,</div><div><br></div><div>I believe that this is the topic for the February meeting. I believe that it will be this Thursday, 2/24 @ 7:30 pm on the Southern Polytechnic campus in Room M100. I will verify this information ASAP and repost to the list.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Joshua</div><div><br></div><div> Using Linux as a Workstation OS</div><div> </div><div> "A Computing Platform for Scientist and Engineers"</div><div><br>
</div><div><br></div><div> Over the years the term, workstation, has been used to describe</div><div> a wide range of computer hardware and software configurations.</div><div> Most of these definitions describe a workstation as a computer</div>
<div> where serious technical work is done. Modern PC hardware and the</div><div> Linux OS provide the potential to be configured as a workstation.</div><div> At a minimum, this means including an SSH server to a typical</div>
<div> desktop Linux configuration. Other services can be run to expand</div><div> the capability of workstation to meet the needs of a technical</div><div> group of users.</div><div><br></div><div> In this seminar, the configuration of such a workstation is</div>
<div> described. In addition, configuration of the user environment</div><div> is described to provide a computing environment to support the</div><div> local and distributed needs of a technical-oriented user.</div><div>
<br></div><div> The seminor mainly provides an overview of the configurations</div><div> with the goal of showing the potential of a workstation. The</div><div> details of configuring a workstation will be included on a</div>
<div> Scientific Programming web site hosted in the CSE Department of</div><div> SPSU. There is also a direct link to the Unix information at</div><div> this site.</div><div><br></div><div> Scientific Programming: <a href="http://cse.spsu.edu/teidson/SciProg.html">http://cse.spsu.edu/teidson/SciProg.html</a></div>
