Application testing is taking place in the Chadwick teaching centre (CHAD, or CTC), room T10 on the ground floor, during July. The room is not locked this year.
Please report problems to Lisa Nelson.
In your testing, please:
Please note that booting and logon will be very slow. General performance will also be sluggish. This is expected, because of the vast number of additional applications installed. (Which is, incidentally, why we don't preinstall everything everywhere.)
