-There are alternatives to a loaner laptop if you have a special assignment. For example, if you have a Mac or Linux laptop and you have an assignment that requires software that only runs on Windows, you can login to the general purpose Windows server, ''winsrv01.cs.virginia.edu'', using your CS domain password (passwords are the same for both linux and windows in the CS Dept). There is more information on this server in the Windows section of this Wiki.

-Conversely, the ''portal.cs.virginia.edu'' cluster of linux servers is available for linux computing needs. It uses the same CS userid/password as other servers. You can ''ssh <userid>@portal.cs.virginia.edu'' from a terminal window to access this cluster. There is more information on this cluster in the Linux section of this Wiki.
