Welcome to RNL!
RNL stands for Rede das Novas Licenciaturas (literal translation: Network of New Bachelor's Degrees). Created in the early 90s, it provided support to new Técnico courses - LEEC, LEGI and LEIC - predating our department (DEI) by a few years.
We're a team of students, responsible for managing all computer equipment and scheduling activities (classes, evaluations and others) in Pavilhão de Informática I.
Warnings and news are regularly posted in our website (in portuguese).
ProTip: Chrome/Chromium has built-in seamless web page translation. Just right click in a website and select "Translate to language".
Labs
All computer labs dual boot between Linux and Windows. You can login in with your IST ID (always remember to logout)! You'll need to activate some services before you can start using them.
Your files are stored in AFS, where you have a 10GB quota (if you exceed it you can ask DSI for more); so you can use any computer in any OS and all your stuff will always be there.
Some laboratories have ports available for personal usage. These are properly marked.
Space A (Lab 15) is a special case, since it has no computers. It functions mostly as a study space.
You can find a full list of our laboratories, with computer specs and counts in our website.
Usage Prerequisites
Before you can use the labs you need to activate both AFS and Shell services. Check how to do it here.
