| If you are a Coli '''staff''' '''member''' you will be able to use the computer provided for you in your office. If you are a '''student''', you may use one of the computers in the Coli '''Computer''' '''Lab''' (Complab) which is located in the basement of building C7.2. Your student ID card will give you access to both the building and the Complab. You are allowed to use the Complab facilities at any time in order to access teaching material, related literature and information from the Internet which is related to your studies. | = System documentation - LST Wiki = You can access the full documentation about the LST system in the '''LST "wiki"''' pages: |

| = System setup for students in Complab = * '''Log in''' to the Linux PCs using the account ID and password you received. If the PC is turned off, turn it on. If Windows is started, reboot the PC, Linux will start automatically. This document assumes that you are using the default "gnome session". * Start the '''Firefox''' web browser. To do so, start a Konsole/Terminal session (search the left tray for "Terminal", or select from Applications -> System Tools -> Konsole) and type "firefox&" followed by the <Return> key. * To configure your web browser correctly you will need to configure the Complab '''proxy settings'''. There is detailed documentation for proxy configuration at the rear wall of the Complab titled '''"Internet: Firefox Proxy Setup"'''. You will need to follow those instructions, otherwise you will have no Internet access. |

| You may use the Coli computer systems to store your personal and study related data. As a general guideline students who are majoring in computational linguistics or language science and technology should not use more than '''500 MB''' of disk space, students with computational linguistics as a minor should not use more than '''200 MB''' of disk space, unless there are special circumstances. For more information on quota, please see the '''"Disk usage"''' section in the user Wiki. You may find out about your filesystem usage by starting a Konsole/Terminal session (Applications -> System Tools -> Konsole) and type '''"xdiskusage ."''' followed by the <Return> key. In your $HOME directory there is a link "shadow" which points to the '''"shadow file system"'''. This file system is for temporary and unimportant data. It is not backed up and data there can be lost in case of a file server crash. You may store up to 2GB of data there. == Windows - Winhome == As a Windows user you should store all of your data in the "My Documents" folder. Please do not create folders on your desktop or store data on your desktop as this will increase your Windows profile and you will suffer from severe performance degradation. The experienced Windows user may find it interesting to know that the "My Documents" folder points to the "H:\" network drive which in turn points to "\\smb\winhome". |
