Depending on what operating system you use, you will need to have one or two pieces of software on '''that''' machine to properly connect to and work with the [[UNIX]] systems.

=== Checking Machines ===
 
Want to see which machines are working?  Try Dr. G's new script: [http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/UTILS/sites.html Ping Results] - this web page should be updated about every 30 minutes.
 
 
 
=== Mac Users ===
 
Mac users will need [[X11]] or [[XQuartz]].  X11 is generally installed with OS 10.5 through 10.7; 10.4 users will need to install it.  10.6 and above users will want to install XQuartz.  Information on each is at the [[X11]] page.
 
 
 
=== Windows Users ===
 
Starting with the Fall 2014 semester, Windows users should use [[MobaXterm]] to connect.  This program contains both the terminal program and the X-Windows protocol in one free package.  Note that at present Duke's public machines most likely do not have MobaXterm installed -- people wishing to use Duke's public machines to do work on Linux systems are thus advised to log in using the Mac boot and run [[X11]] as noted above.<!--
 
To work from home, Windows users will need to install [[X-Win 32]] and [[PuTTY]].  When you install [[X-Win 32]], you will also need to follow the instructions OIT has provided regarding licensing.  More info on the [[X-Win 32]] page.
 
 
 
When you install [[PuTTY]] and run it, the first time through you will need to create a session to connect to one of the Teer machines; after that, you can just use that session.  More on the [[PuTTY]] page.-->
 
 
 
=== All Cases ===
 
In all cases, you do '''not''' need to install anything else.  [[emacs]], [[LaTeX]], [[evince]], and everything else you need will be on the [[UNIX]] systems - you will not have them on your own machines.
