Linux MiniPCs and Server

MiniPCs with Debian Linux

  • All MiniPCs run with a local Debian Linux, All user data are on a central file server. Therefore, the hardware can easily be exchanged and you will find the same desktop environment in every office.
  • You can reboot your device if necessary or switch it on/off as you like.
  • The MiniPCs have a standard phone connector socket for headphones, headsets or speaker. If sound or mic appear to be muted, the command pavucontrol may be helpful.
  • At the login screen you can select between different graphical desktop environments, including Gnome, KDE(Plasma), Mate or LXDE.

Linux server

If the computing power of a MiniPC (e.g., a 6-Core Intel i5-9500T processor, 16GB RAM) is not enough:
  • miserv101.mathematik.uni-leipzig.de has an AMD EPYC 9554 Prozessor with 64 cores/128 threads and 768 GByte RAM. Log in from your MiniPC via

    ssh -X miserv101
    You can also start Mathematica/Maple/Matlab directly on miserv101 from your MiniPC using

     ssh -X miserv101 wolframnb
     (try "ssh -X miserv101 wolframnb --mesa" if there is a problem with graphics)
     ssh -X miserv101 xmaple
     ssh -X miserv101 matlab    

    On miserv101 you have a distinct home directory. Your standard home is available as /h/<username>.
