-The id left of the "@" is your account name (which is probably different) and the id right to the "@" is the computer you are currently "sitting" at. After logging in, everyone will start at the "gateway" computer.+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".
  
-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 or slack. You can access this computer by typing:+<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.
