Gradlin
Gradlin is a new computer built by the CCC available for graduate students in chemistry computing courses. Currently, the computer is configured to allow students to access it from both inside the Computer Classroom and from outside the Chemistry Department Network. Graduate students are able to remotely access Gradlin to complete their homework assignments and store their files on the fileserver throughout the semester they are enrolled.
Gradlin is running Gentoo Linux. It has a Pentium 4 Processor 3GHz CPU, 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive.
