UNIX help:
For those who are not familiar with unix, I have created a brief introduction to unix editors page and am working on a very brief and general introduction to unix and the command line page. If you want to login remotely, make sure you have a good internet connection and, at least for the time being, a unix machine (macs are OK, windows are not). E-mail Adam if you have any questions!
