New Students Primer:

- Who do I ask for help?

techstaff@cs.vt.edu

- When I have a problem what information do they need to know?

- Your PID/UID
- Your location (building, room, cubical, etc)
- Your workstation name
- Your best description of what is not working for you

- What resources do I have available to me?

- <your own workstation>
- bioterm1 - shared resource
- bioterm2 - shared resource
- mnemosyne - shared resource
- mnemosyne2 - shared resource
(Shared Resource means that before you submit a task, you need to make sure there are resources available to run)

- How do I make a website on bioinformatics?

Create a directory called ~/public_html in your home folder and it will link to http://bioinformatics.cs.vt.edu/~<Your_PID>

- Is there a disk quota?

Yes, the limit is 20GB on your home directory and no you can't increase it.  If you need more space
you can request for space on /research (or /data if you are in Murali's group).  Please note that /research is not backed up due to it's size.

- What machines are allowed on the network?

Only VT owned servers and workstations are allowed on the VT or private GigE networks
