The main objective of this site is to provide technical information on the computing systems being used at the Computer Science Department. If you find this information too technical for you then you can visit also the more general Computing site.
As a wiki, edits made on this site are saved and the new content is available immediately but changes can be reverted and previous versions be recovered if necessary. So do not worry if you mess up the whole thing. Also discussions can be carried on about each of the pages and its contents by using the <discussion> option on the top menu.
