The final exam is available from the registrar's office during the self-scheduled/take-home exam period. It is a 24-hour take home, but you will be limited to 4 hours of consecutive work time and you must submit your responses electronically as well as return a copy to the registrar as usual.

In addition to the regular FreeBSD lab, we'll be using the Bullpen Cluster, consisting of Sun Microsystems Sparc-based servers running Solaris 8.
Telnet is bad! Get and use a secure shell (ssh) client if you plan to work remotely. Unix and Mac OS X come with ssh clients installed. A free one for windows can be found here. This is important, since ftp and telnet are no longer allowed to CSLab systems. For file transfers, consider WinSCP under Windows or Fugu on the Mac.
