Time: From 8.00 a.m. . We expect the work to be completed no later than 13 p.m. (13.00)
Please, save all your work on the Department file server and log off
from the Thinlinc system (if you are working there) before 8.00 a.m.
The service work is now finished.

Disruptions in the Thinlinc and Linux system at Math Department on Wednesday, April 8 (installation of new application server)
The replacement of the application server abel is now finished.
The name abel.math.uu.se now points to the new server.
The old server abel and the Haddock system have been retired.
In Thinlinc, you start Matlab, Maple and Mathematica from the Education menu under Applications.
To log in to the new server, you do as before:
ssh -Y AkkaID@abel.math.uu.se (use your "Linux-/Thinlinc password").
See more information about how to run the math applications here.
