Stanford is almost exclusively a Macintosh campus. All of our residence
clusters are Macintosh-based, as are most of library and other public
clusters. In addition, about 70% of students that own computers have
Macintoshes.
Residential Computing has a Mac Centris 610 running AppleShare 3.0
that serves both the residential clusters and in-room connections.
It contains all of the applications that are on the cluster machines
(protected with our own software-proctection program - much like
Keyserver), as well as lots of documentation, fliers, and software
utilities and tools for the Resident Computer Coordinators (RCC's).
In addition, we also have a UNIX machine (Sun SPARCServer 5) running
CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Pacakge) that provides print accounting and
Software Librarian (our software protection program) services.
