Using the Lab Machines
In this course, you will be using the Computer Science lab computers in King 135/137 and King 201 to complete your work. These computers are set up to have everything you need to write and test code in Java.
The lab computers are set up to have two operating systems: Linux and Windows. In this course, you will be using Linux. If you sit at a computer and it is currently logged in to Windows, you should reboot the computer, and choose Linux when it asks what Operating System you want by selecting the “Ubuntu” option (which should be the second from the top).
You should now be at a login page that asks for a username and password. You will be given your username during the first day of lab, after which you will choose your own password. You will use this username and your chosen password for the entire semester. These logins are separate from your usual ObieIDs (e.g., how you log into your student Gmail accounts).
Once you have successfully logged in, you should now be sitting in front of a computer that is logged into Linux, and looks like this:
