Using Mesquite in SENS-Supported PC Labs

To use Mesquite in the SENS PC labs, you will need to start the "X-Win32" software first. Open the Start Menu, go to "All Programs", look for the "X-Win32 201x" menu group, then click on "X-Win32 201x". An "X" icon should appear near the clock in the Task Bar's Notification Area, located on the lower right-hand corner of the screen.

Next, right-click on the "X" icon and select "Shared Sessions". You should see a list of available sessions, from which you should select "ENG Linux". When you have established a session, log in using your UBITname and password, and at the prompt type "use mesquite". When you are done, type "logout" to log out.
