Enterprise Linux at JMU | ||
Since Dec. 2004 thru today, JMU owns a campus Site License (faculty/staff/student) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux with maintenance with annual renewal. This site license is for the sole purpose of supplying Linux as an educational tool to colleges and their departments at JMU. There is no need to obtain any other Linux distributions nor incur additional purchases, as this JMU site license blankets all Linux needs on campus, and is immediately accessible to you. For basic questions on configure your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system to obtain updates from the JMU RHS Satellite Server and LDAP authentication. you may post a message to the JMU Linux Project List (jmu-linuxproject-l@listserv.jmu.edu) and a member of the list will reply to your JMU e-mail address with the appropriate response. Current members include faculty and staff from CS, ISAT, Math, Physics, Geology, and Technical Services. Red Hat Enterprise Linux support is currently self-help internal to individual departments and via the listserv. You may also contact Red Hat Customer Service (customerservice@RedHat.com) or phone 1-888-REDHAT-1. The JMU Computing HelpDesk does not provide support for Linux computers (please see http://www.jmu.edu/computing/helpdesk/ for a listing of Software Supported). You should not replace your Windows or Macintosh computers with Linux except strictly in lab and classroom environments for educational purposes under the leadership of department heads.
