Linux Lab Downtime: Starting early on Wednesday, February 11, all departmental Linux Lab computers – including the GPU machines – will be unavailable so that we can perform some important security and maintenance updates to the workstations as well as the file server. All machines will be rebooted at least once, and home directories will not be available.
This will end any running tasks, so be sure to complete (or save) your work before midnight on Tuesday (February 10)!
