-**IMPORTANT:** After you gained access to our computer system, you should see a terminal displaying something like this:+===== Accessing the ApplBio Computer system =====

-Since we don't want to use the general @gateway environment for any computations, we need to access the computers in our student pool room. You should have received a computer name via email. You can access this computer by typing:+The id left of the "@" is your username (see above), and the name to the right to the "@" identifies the computer you have connected to. <wrap important></wrap> The initial ssh will always bring you to our "gateway".

 +<wrap important></wrap>The "gateway" is doing exactly what its name says, it just serves as a gateway and is not meant for computations. Therefore, you need to open a second ssh connection that brings you to the computers in our student pool room. You should have received a computer name via email or slack. If you did not get one, let us know! You can access this computer by typing:
 <code> <code>
