Where can I learn more about UNIX?

First off, you can try using "man", the online manual. Just type "man commandname" to get a somewhat cryptic description of the command and its options.

Second, if you are familiar with EMACS you can use its built-in user information command: "C-h i".

Some books that cover UNIX are:

You can also ask someone in your class that seems to know something.

Who do I send mail to/talk to if I have computer problems?

If you are having problems with an application that you use for a lab or class, talk to your lab TA or the class instructor. If you are having problems with UNIX because you need instruction, see the section "How do I learn more about UNIX". If you are having problems with your account (ie. you can't log in), your card access, or a specific lab machine, send email to "systems@engr.ucr.edu".

How can I create my own web page?

In your H: drive, there is a ".html" folder. When you create a web page in your favorite editor and save it into this directory, it will be accessible on the web. To view your web page, go to http://www.engr.ucr.edu/~your_user_name/your_web_page.html.
