Issues related to the Linux operating system; everything from administration and installation to basic commands and directory tree. There are many ways to run get started using Linux, from having a complete Linux workstation, remotely accessing a Linux workstation via ssh or vnc, running a Linux virtual machine, or booting a Linux system from a USB drive.

If you try to log in on the linux computer and it won't let you in, and you know your username and password are correct, you probably don't have a home directory created yet.

1) Using putty, ubuntu, or some way to access/use linux systems, SSH into the directory with the command “ssh firstname.lastname@trogdor.atmos.und.edu”

2) When prompted if you want to continue connection, enter “yes”

And your home directory should be created and you should be able to log in now.
