=== 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.
 
 
 
=== All Users ===
 
If you are working from a machine that is connected to the internet, but not on the Duke internet, you will need to use a VPN connection to validate your existence.  See more informationon that at [https://oit.duke.edu/net-security/network/remote/vpn/ Connecting by Virtual Private Network].
