I am a new person what should I do first?

The CS computer labs are "dual boot" and have both Microsoft Windows XP and CentOS Linux 5.3 (based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux) available on them.

Linux: esus.cs.montana.edu is currently our primary server. If you are a new student, chances are you'll get an account automatically created for you at the beginning of a semester. Check with your CS instructors as they usually give out new account information during lab periods. Once you have an esus account you should be able to log into the Linux side machines in the CS labs... as well as access esus via secure shell. You will also have an email address associated with this account. If for some reason, an account wasn't automatically made for you, please call 994-3931 and set up a visit to EPS262.

Windows: The MSU IT Center handles new account creation on the MSU Domain. To setup an MSU Domain account go to the following URL and fill in your student information:
