HA401 : Get Started

Get Started

New students are encouraged to obtain an account on the student UNIX computer DANA. DANA gives NAU students, who agree to abide by proper ethical standards, access to the Internet including electronic mail, the Cline library on-line catalogue, world wide web home pages (http:), and usenet news.

Accessing these sort of Internet services requires establishing an electronic identity (essentially an electronic mail address). This can be done by acquiring a computer account on the DANA machine. Any currently enrolled s

tudent, who is willing to use these resources responsibly, is permitted an account on the DANA machine.
