=Use Local Mirrors=
Virginia Tech has several [[Mirrors|local mirrors]] of Linux and other [[Free Softwarew:Free_and_open-source_software|Free and Open Source Software]]. Using Virginia Tech's mirrors has the main advantage of being fast.

=Touchpad Button=
*Note* We will only want the part AFTER the "https://" because otherwise, your WebDAV client may give you an error. I will be using Nautilus, the standard file manager in Ubuntu, seeing as this the Ubuntu section.
'''Please note: [[User:mutantmonkey|mutantmonkey]] has had serious problems with the WebDAV support built in to gvfs (which Nautilus uses) and strongly discourages its use. Instead, if After you need WebDAV supporthave your URL, you should look into using the FUSE support for WebDAV instead; information is available in see the [[FileboxWebDAV]] article.''' Ok, now that I have set up the information here come the steps. 1) Open Nautilus and click File) -> Connect to Server... 2) Select "Secure WebDAV (HTTPS)" from the "service type" drop down box. 3) Put in your server info minus the "https://" 4) Put your PID in. 5) Add a bookmark if you'd like 6) Click "Connect"page for further instructions. 7) Put in your Scholar password, and your done! [[File:VT_Resources_Connect_to_Server_Screenshot.png]][[Category:Round 2 migration]]
=Automatically Mount Partitions=
=Connecting to Tech's VPN=
This is a fairly simple process, but it wasn't See the [[VPN]] page for information on connecting to the tech website anywhere so it is hereVirginia Tech VPN.
Select
System -> Preferences -> Network Connections
Go =Tweaks===Ubuntu Tweak==One easy way to start tweaking ubuntu to server you in the tab way that says VPN you so deserve and click add. Select "Point-desire is todownload this program (http://ubuntu-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTPtweak.com/)" . It is pretty self explanatory. It will keep your box clean of old kernels and click createpackages that are no longer being used and will allow you to tweak the appearance more with compiz.
For gateway enter "pptp==Wallpapoz==http://www.cnsakbarhome.vt.edu" your user name com/This will be your pidallow you to have a different background on each workspace. Pretty easy to use and fun to use.
NT Domain leave blank.[[Category:Needs restoration]][[Category:Software]]The password will not be the same as your pid. The password that you will put is your remote passphrase. If you have already set-up VT-wireless, using MS-CHAP, you will enter the same passphrase you used then. If you haven't done this you will need to set-up a remote passphrase. The Passphrase that you set up, will be the password that you enter and you will be able to connect. You can set-up your remote passphrase by logging into my.vt.edu, go to the settings tab, then click the "set remote passphrase" link, and set it.[[Category:Howtos]]This is the link for further questions on this.
