Note Computing Environments at UCSC:
The division of CATS which administers computing labs and student computing environments is called Instructional Computing (IC).  During the Summer of 2002, CATS/IC made a number of changes and upgrades to it's Sun Microsystems Solaris 8 platform.  A new timeshare, unix.ic.ucsc.edu, is now available to users, and will be replacing the older timeshares teach, learn, curie, and hawking.  The older timeshares will be shutdown on October 9, 2002.  From now on, always log on to unix.ic.ucsc.edu when connecting to the campus network.  For additional information regarding these changes, go to:  http://ic.ucsc.edu/docs/unix/
