* Your adviser can likely provide a preferred machine for you to login to, or you can ssh into our 'public' machine by typing:
ssh your_user_name@public.pmc.ucsc.edu
in a MacOSX terminal, or by using a Windows ssh client.
Depending upon the Linux resources provided by your faculty adviser at the time of account creation, you may have a quota on disk space of 10GB. If you need additional space please contact us. If your faculty adviser has additional machines and disk resources we can move your home directory to one of those machines to provide more space.
