 ====== Using the 244 Lab ====== ====== Using the 244 Lab ======
  
-The Computer Science department Linux lab in IACC 244 is a 40 computer lab (lab00-lab39) running Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 GNU/Linux with the [[http://mate-desktop.org/|MATE Desktop Environment]]. The lab is for learning Linux, running programs designed to be run in a Linux environment, and course projects. The lab can be accessed remotely using an SSH client ([[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|PuTTY]] for Windows or simply 'ssh' from Mac, Linux or BSD) or sitting down at the workstations in QBB 244. The lab is open 24/7 but does require key-card access via your NDSU ID card. Contact your instructor or advisor if you need access.+The Computer Science department Linux lab in IACC 244 is a 40 computer lab (lab00-lab39) running Ubuntu 26.04 x86_64 GNU/Linux with the [[http://mate-desktop.org/|MATE Desktop Environment]].

 X2go install on a Mac is a bit different. It requires Xquartz to be installed. https://wiki.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/doku.php?id=helpdocs:x2go:windows&s[]=x2go#x2go_on_mac It usually works but sometimes it doesn't and neither Google or I have been able to determine why. X2go install on a Mac is a bit different.
