Configuring your machine to be independent of the server allows you to function independently if the server goes down. It is similar to the office software image, but includes many additional programs, such as SAS, SPSS, and Mathematica. The advantage of using the image is that it enables you to quickly rebuild your environment, and establish consistent configurations across all machines. This image is intended for computers that support general student use, and is not restricted to any specific area of study. ITS has programs available to support this on Novell print queues, and will be happy to assist you with the initial setup.
Most people prefer to manage their own home system.
ITS does not recommend a specific configuration. Please submit your questions or comments about the ITS Webpage to the ITS Webmaster . Return to ITS Home .
