The CITES Help Desk officially supports Windows and Mac users, but doesn’t have enough equipment to support all the flavors of Unix, Linux, and smartphones that the campus community runs.

This page allows the campus community to gather up our configuration notes for Unix/Linux operating systems and smartphones. Anyone with a Linux variant or a smartphone can contribute to this page.
