Resources.

Teams will be assigned a pod of computers in the Computer Science Capstone Lab. These machines are currently running XP, but teams are welcome to install other operating systems such as Linux on their pods as well.

Teams are responsible for system maintenance and backups. System support is limited to erasing the disk and reinstalling XP.

Other resources such as utilities, development environments, tools, etc. may be available upon request. For running in a Microsoft environment, students should consider obtaining tools from the Microsoft MSDNAA site. Full versions of Microsoft's professional developer tools are available for free to PSU/CS students.

Additionally, many other excellent development tools are available for free from the Web, teams are encouraged to consider such tools first before requesting commercial tool sets.
