Machines

Reed provides some machines for you to use. Some of these can be accessed in person, but others are best accessed over ssh.

note

To get access to all of these machines, email CSTAR.

These machines all run Ubuntu with Nix installed for user package management.

note

Don't know what this means? Don't worry. We'll deal with it later.

Peggy, Patty, and Polly

Peggy is in the corner of Polytopia and runs Ubuntu. You can also access it from the Reed college Wi-fi over ssh at peggy.reed.edu.

Polly and Patty are in Jim's office, and can be accessed solely by ssh over the Reed college Wi-fi at polly.reed.edu and patty.reed.edu, respectively. Patty in particular is useful when you're in need of some extra compute power.

The Dumplings

Banku, Empanada, Gyoza, and Pierogi are iMacs running Ubuntu available for use in Polytopia. These are available at banku.reed.edu, empanada.reed.edu, gyoza.reed.edu, and pierogi.reed.edu over the Reed Wi-fi.
