The Westminster College Unix Lab

The Westminster College Unix Lab exists to provide students and faculty with resources for all aspects of computing research and study. It provides students with a chance to learn how to work in the Unix environment, and take advantage of some Of the powerful features Unix offers. We also provide a Web server for those wishing to experiment with HTML, CGI, etc. In the future we will also be setting up an MPI cluster, and many other services, all of which are for the purpose of students getting "hands-on" experience with some of the many facets of computer science. If there's something you wish we had available but don't see (make sure you look around first -- what you want might be here already!) ask the admins at admin@aslan.cs.westminster.edu. During hours, feel free to call x2925 from any on-campus phone with questions.
