Owlnet is Rice's Unix computer network, which can be used for email, course work, or even setting up your web page. You can log into Owlnet using your username and password from any of the workstations around campus, such as in Will Rice's Wiener Hole or at Fondren Library.

 + Connecting with SSH
You can also log into Owlnet from your own PC or Mac, using a SSH client. This is a program which will allow you to connect as if you were working at one of the Owlnet workstations by entering your username and password. Download it from [http://software.is.rice.edu].

Once you have downloaded and installed the SSH client, you can connect to one of Rice's servers. We recommend using one of these servers:

  forest.owlnet.rice.edu
  jungle.owlnet.rice.edu

There is some information about using Pine to check email on the [email page].

For more information about using Unix, take a look at Rice's [Unix tutorial]. We'll have a more concise page to help out before too long...
