Speaking of printing, Nancy and MikePatterson agreed that CSCF will change toner cartridges in se-hp1 when such is required. Grad students are expected to tell CSCF when toner is low.

Since 2009 all servers are running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

Servers are accessible via SSH to "watform-cpu.uwaterloo.ca".
Load balance system will pick the least used server. Authentication is done through CS Active Directory. Uwdir (mail.cs) user ID and password are required.
