The CSSE department supports a Linux machine
'cs1.seattleu.edu' for course work in many of the computer science
courses. Accounts are typically
automatically created if you enroll in a course that uses cs1. If you need an account, please see your
computer science instructor. Your

Here
are some handouts and reference cards to get you started working on Linux at
For additional questions regarding Linux, please contact your CS instructor.
Working Off Campus
You can log onto cs1.seattleu.edu from anywhere off campus you have an Internet connection.
For Window machines, you will need to download Putty. To transfer files from cs1 to your home computer, you can download WinSCP. Both programs are provided in campus labs.
For
Macs, including those in SU labs, no additional software is necessary. Run Terminal under Utilities. This brings up a prompt. Here, type: "ssh cs1.seattleu.edu"
and press Enter. You'll be asked for
your username and password.
Unlike
previous Linux machines, it is not necessary to use VPN.
The
department does not provide any support for working off campus. The software you can download using the above
links is provided without support. You
may try contacting the Help Desk (helpdesk@seattleu.edu)
or OIT for issues and
they may or may not be able to assist depending on the request.
