Linux Software @ UNCG

The UNCG Instructional Linux Environment (ILE) is a Linux-based, general-purpose instructional environment. It provides operating system command-level access using standard UNIX/Linux utilities for teaching and research by UNCG students, faculty, and staff. Popular UNIX software packages such as SAS, SPSS, and Sage are also provided. (See the table below for all applications that are available for use in UNCG's ILE.)

Access Location Details

An SSH-capable terminal emulator (see: SSH Software @ UNCG) is required for command-level login to host name “linux.uncg.edu.” In addition to command-level, secure access via most other popular Linux methods (sftp, x-windows, etc.) is also supported.

Usernames for the ILE are the same as for other UNCG environments. Passwords for the ILE are maintained in a separate database for ILE but may be synchronized if the "Reset Passwords for All UNCG Login Accounts" option is selected using the Self-Service Password Reset at https://reset.uncg.edu.
