The CS computer lab consists of 25 machines (one being the instructor's workstation) running Libranet Linux. The machines are MPC ClientPro's with 2.5GHz Pentium IV processors and 256MB RAM each. The machines are also set up with floppy, 250MB Zip, and CDROM drives as well as front mounted USB ports for students with USB memory sticks. All monitors are 17" flat panel displays.
