The CSB Core provides four Microsoft Windows 2000 Dell workstations
for the following
services:
There are no longer any Macintosh computers available in the Core.
The policy for using these systems is as follows:
-
Workstations are used on a 1st come 1st served basis. This means that
you may not reserve or screen-lock a computer for any reason. Other
users may log you out of the computer after 30min of vacancy.
-
A user may print slides on GLAZIER using the slidemaker
if the computer is already in use by another user. The slide
printing setup takes less than 5 minutes and once started the normal
use of the workstation can continue while the slides print in the
background. This does not
mean however a user can be "kicked-off" a
workstation so that another user can create/design slides on that
workstation.
-
You may not install ANY
software or hardware on these systems. Installations are to be
performed by CSB Staff only. If you wish to see a particular program or
other hardware installed petition the staff.
-
You may not change ANY
system settings. This is the cause of most computer related problems
in the Core. Report problems to the CSB Staff and they will make the
necessary changes to the system.
-
Users may store files only on the specified "User Drive" or
"Scratch Drive" on each system. Files stored here should be considered temporary,
reguardless of age or importance. This means that they can be deleted
by anyone, for any reason, at any time so store important files on
removable media (i.e. Zip, Jaz, Floppy, CD) or the UNIX file server (via FTP or Samba).
Report any problems with the PC based systems to problems@csb.yale.edu.

however. Below are lists of the software and hardware on the PC
