Computers
There are currently nine MINOS computers, all running Redhat 7.3 with linux kernel 2.4.18 and autofs cross mounting of each others drives.

Each system can print to following printers, where the queue name is the room number.

Queue Name Printer hostname Color? Duplex?
246 clj2.spa.umn.edu yes no
260 lj9.spa.umn.edu no yes
216 lj10.spa.umn.edu no yes
431 lj3.spa.umn.edu no no
431c clj1.spa.umn.edu yes no
153 lj153.spa.umn.edu no no
155 lj155.spa.umn.edu no no

To print to these here are a few commands which are handy:

Each of these commands has several more options which can be found in there man pages. There are a few handy aliases that wrap these commands located in the file .myaliases placed in the home of all new users. If you are an old user, .myaliases is located in /etc/skel/ on minos-server. If you are printing by laptop through the physics network you can still print to these queues through minos-server by replacing 'Queue Name' with 'Queue Name'@minos-server.hep.umn.edu for network print services. This will not work outside the Firewall that sits in front of the entire Physics Building.


System Software

I have installed several non-standard software items on all of these machines that aren't directly related to MINOS code. I will only list here those programs which aren't found on the Redhat 7.3 OS disks.
