This document will help you if your interest in computing goes beyond information gathering and email, and you would like to learn the basics of the Unix operating system. Before you continue, you need a UW NetID which gives you an account on a computer called Dante (if you are a student), or a computer called Homer (if you are faculty or staff). Both Dante and Homer are Unix computers.
These computers are available to UW students, faculty, and staff with UW NetIDs. If you do not have your UW NetID, you can get one from the UW NetID and Computing Services Web page.
