LINUX COMPUTER ACCOUNTS

• CLAS Linux Support.
• Linux computer accounts are available on the Linux network in MLH (computer lab room B5): Linux Service Account Description.
• You can find local online Linux Help for questions/problems you may have about Linux.
• Selected Unix commands.
• If you have problems with your Linux account go to 303A MLH.
• These accounts expire, see the account expiration policy. If there is anything in this directory that you would like to save, you must archive it to your own home directory.

REMOTE ACCESS TO MATLAB AND TO YOUR LINUX COMPUTER ACCOUNT

• If you connect from home first you may need to download and install the Cisco AnyConnect Virtual Private Network and establish a VPN connection for each session: follow the instructions here.
• To access your Linux computer account remotely, you can use FastX, a graphical Linux virtual desktop environment remotely accessible in your web browser:
  • Login with your Hawkid username/password
  • Click "Start a new session" (make sure your pop-up blocker doesn't block)
  • Click "Bookmarks"
  • Click "starxfce4 or startkde" depending on which desktop you want to
  • Click "Start"
  More details can be found here. You can make your browser window larger and then click in the lower left hand corner, the box of nine dots that make a square, then click on the arrow head with arrows on both ends to "maximize" the Linux desktop.
• https://virtualdesktop.uiowa.edu, a Windows virtual desktop where you can access MATLAB in a Windows environment with your web browser (does not seem to work if your machine is a Linux machine).

FORTRAN

• A list of Fortran tutorials, Fortran 90 for the Fortran 77 programmer, Fortran 90 for Fortran 77 programmers.
