Important
If you want to set up and use a Linux computer in your daily work environment, you need to confer with the local IT staff. They know best how to do this and can advice on how best to proceed and whether or not you should NFS mount your personal disk partition and settings. Please note that Linux is not a supported platform on all departments.
