Operating System details

Your PC workstation has been configured as a stand-alone dual-boot Windows XP Pro / Ubuntu (Debian) Linux workstation. You can select which operating system you want to run when the system boots up. If you would like to have the default OS changed from Windows to Ubuntu, please let your Point of Contact know (see below)

Configuration details

Your system has been configured with one hard drive with the following partitions:

1. Windows XP
2. Ubuntu Linux
3. Shared partition (available from both operating systems)

Accounts

Three accounts have been created:

1. One account (cscf-adm) is for CSCF staff to administer the workstation.
2. The local administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) account is for you to use when installing software, setting up printers, and other functions that require administrator access.
3. The main account is the user account you should use to do your day-to-day work. Using the administrator or root account for your day-to-day work is not advised, it is a security hole and potentially you could accidentally make your workstation inoperable.
