Note that Linux and Windows XP accounts are given automatically
to anyone taking a CS course. If an account is required for
another reason, mail
the lab manager.
Also note that to create files on the Web from your CS account,
place those files in your directory called "public_html".
Make them world readable, and call the default homepage "index.html".
From then on, the site will be accessible via /~username where
"username" is your username. Again, if there are
any questions, mail the lab manager.
