Contact Information 

If you have any hardware issues or software issues with the Linux desktop or workstation, please contact us at linuxproject@uncfsu.edu.


Obtaining a Linux Account

Before you can login, you will need an account for the Linux server. If you are a student, your professor will have an account created for you. If you are a faculty member, you will have to place a request for a Linux account. Please use FootPrints to request a Linux account.



Backup Policy

The Linux server has a 12 Gigabyte tape backup drive using digital audio tape (DAT), which will be used to perform routine backups of user data. ITTS will be working with the Math and Computer Science department to develop policies and procedures for backups.
