    Just to let ye know before ye go mad with axes:

    Some 3rd years have been granted permission to use that room. So far it's only 4 of us and we'll be sticking to a corner so ye won't even know we're there. As you enter the room, we'll be on the right hand side wall (Straight in when you enter)

    Like your own projects last year, it'd be great if no one poked at the hardware etc... Ye know yerselves what it's like to come in to your project and see someones been messing with it

    Are you allowed use the computers in there? If so are you given admin rights on one of the computers or do you just log on to an one you like?

    Not too sure but i'd presume we're allowed to use the PC's for research online although we'd have no need for admin access. We'll be using our own standalone machines for installing linux etc

    Well it's just that we are assigned those computers and given admin rights (if that ever happens). The computer we are assigned is the computer we use throughout the year and we are responsible for everything that is on it so someone might get pissed if they catch you using their computer.

    As far as I know no one has been assigned a pc yet. Us software guys didn't got our own lab last year so I guess we missed out on the madness. :( Just to clarify the lab we are talking about is B1043.

    Ask them if you can use the computers. If they say yes, raise the point that we might not like someone else using the computer assigned to us. This way you may get your own computer with admin rights on it.

    I've no use for a PC with admin rights, nor do I want the responsibility. I'll bring in me laptop if I want to do anything than the ordinary
