| Operating system | Windows 10, Ubuntu |
Our Lab Computers are installed with a System Image to unify software and driver versions and configuration in all BSI and DCC labs. This allows researchers to easily transfer their experiments from one lab to the other in case of booking constraints, or conduct research in multiple labs simultaneously with identical settings.
The TSG will periodically update this image to improve performance and security.
During the update, the Windows (C:\) and Linux system drives will be wiped, as may the Data (D:\) drive. Therefore, please make sure to transfer your data from the Data drive to your network drive every time you leave the lab.
Configuration
The system image for the lab computers installs a configuration with Windows 10. When desired we make an dual-boot configuration. Than the system image for the lab computers installs a dual-boot configuration with Windows 10 and Ubuntu (Linux). Users can choose which operating system to start when booting the PC. The storage drive is partitioned into system drives and data drives. As mentioned above, the system drives will be wiped during a system image update. The data drives can be used to write data from your experiment to, but are not meant as long-term storage.
