NEW OS IN 704

See Wikipedia's take on it. [1]

Kinda cultish, but better than Fedora and an excellent overface for Debian.

For system Adminstration related stuff, see the Debian Sysadmin page.

Windows Junkies

This confounded new operating system getting you down? Here is a list of programs that are similar to their windows counterparts.

Student stuff

Some useful commands for our computer lab. Add to them when you find them!

Desktop Folder to Home Directory

On desktop: Right click and select "Create Launcher"

In the Command field: Type "nautilus /home/newton#/usrname"

Be sure to leave the space after 'nautilus /'. Fill in the # and usrname as necessary. To figure out which Newton you are on, open a terminal and type pwd. You can go ahead and just copy the result over.

Select a name and icon for this folder and you are set.
