This is the place to find help with the RSGIS Unix systems. I'll put more here as I find time. Please note that some of these pages are restricted to appropriate USU personnel. The old Unix help pages can be found here. The content from that site is being updated and migrated to this location. The old site is no longer being maintained so some info there may be out of date or incorrect.
