You haven't moved have you?? You should get a pretty good connection to the computers in the cs labs from your home... just ssh in, write down what computer you're on, start a screen session and away you go!
No need to worry about setting your computer up to work like the ones in the labs... just use the ones in the labs. You also get the added benefit of the speed and memory of the machines in the labs - which if you get the higher end machines should be better than what most students would have at home. -Rich P.s. - I'm wondering now if you would need to run X through ssh so you could run the program... I'd seriously think about setting up a subversion repository on your home computer, adding in sshd at home, compiling in the labs, committing the compiled result from the labs to your home computer, and running the compiled result from home... but that would probably be too much hassle if you weren't already familiar with it. Man this is a long ps! :-) P.p.s. - While I'm already going on the long ps stuff... wouldn't it be nice if the CS lab admins could provide a way to automagically 'setup' a home computer to be 'just like' the lab machines... :-) -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
