Computing Labs
MCS Computer Lab, Harder Hall 209
The MCS Lab, located on the second floor of Harder Hall, is a MS Windows computer lab that is maintained by the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science and by Information Technology.
At times the lab is closed to the public while a class meets in the room. At most other times (when the lab is open), students can use the PCs to work on assignments. Check the reservation sheet posted on the lab door for times when the lab is reserved.

MCS Linux Lab, Harder Hall 207
The lab was constructed during the summer of 2005 and includes 20 Linux workstations
along with an instructor's machine connected to an overhead projector. All workstations
are connected to the Linux servers and to the campus network. Students can access
their personal folders on Datastor.
The lab machines require a valid username and password to log on. These are not the
same as the campus or e-mail names and passwords, since the Linux servers form a separate
network (although attached to the campus net) and require a different set of usernames
and passwords. This information is distributed by instructors or by the Linux Lab
administrator, Lisa Schermerhorn (lscherme@skidmore.edu) in HH208.
To acquire an account, students must sign the user agreement (see the sidebar at
the right). Download it, sign it, and return to your instructor or to Lisa.
