Redbrick's operating system of choice is UNIX. Our primary server, ([[murphy]]), is running the Ubuntu Linux operating system and our secondary server runs Debian (carbon and deathray). In the Windows point and click world, don't let a command line usage put you off. Once you get comfortable you'll be amazed how much you can accomplish in a command line Unix environment. A standard user only need a very basic knowledge to gain usage from their Redbrick account. For a starting point and a guide to some of the more common commands, see the [[Unix Intro|introduction to Unix]]. | Redbrick's operating system of choice is UNIX.

==Changing your password== | |||
When you first join RedBrick, your assigned password will probably be some ugly, difficult to remember assortment of characters and numbers. Thankfully you can quite easily change it, and here's how. | |||
When you first log in you'll be greeted with a black screen with your username and the time. All you have to do is type "passwd" like so: | |||

and hit enter. Now you have to enter your current (soon to be old) password. | |||

Almost finished now, I told you it was easy. You'll be asked what you want your new password to be, like this: | |||
[[Image:Password3.jpg]] | |||
you'll have to enter it twice, just for comparisons sake, to make sure you've typed it correctly. | |||
After you've done that, that's it! You're done. | |||

Make sure to remember this password, but if you forget it's not a big deal, you'll just have to e-mail the admins and ask them nicely to reset it for you. | |||
