-====== Other Software ======
-The cluster computers run Linux with the following setup (and commands to check for changes)
-===== Operating System =====
-Running CentOS. On econ1-5 it is release 5.11 (Final) (Linux kernel version 2.6.18-371.3.1.el5) 64 bit (x86_64). On econ0,6-18 it is 6.6
-<code>
-cat /etc/issue
-uname -a
-</code>
-===== Compiler =====
-gcc v4.1.2 20080704
-<code>
-gcc --version
-</code>
-===== MPI =====
-mpich3.1 and openmpi v1.8 are installed (mpich2 v1.2.1p1 is also installed)
-<code>
-rpm -qid mpich
-rpm -qid openmpi
-</code>
-===== OpenOffice 3 =====
-Openoffice (free office software like Microsoft Office) is installed. Type ''openoffice.org''.
-===== Browser =====.
-econ0-5 have Firefox. This requires X-forwarding (so the GUI shows up on your home machine). This might have a significant lag so you can also try the text-only browser elinks. This can be much faster if all you want to do is download large files to the cluster.
-===== Text Editors =====
-==== Nano ====
-[[http://www.nano-editor.org/|Nano]] is a very simple console text editor.  To use it to edit a file, type:
-<code>
-$ nano [file name]
-</code>
-Note that nano may automatically wrap long lines (unless started with <code>-w</code>) and it does not have an undo function.
-==== GEdit ====
-[[https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit|Gedit]] is a simple GUI text editor. You will need an X-server to run it. It's only installed on some of the machines (econ1-5).
-<code>
-$ gedit [file name]
-</code>
-==== EMacs ====
-[[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/|Emacs]] is one of the oldest text-editors (along with vi(m)). If you have an X-server running it will start with a GUI otherwise it will automatically start in console-mode. To start, enter the command:
-<code>
-$ emacs
-</code>
-To edit a file, use:
-<code>
-$ emacs [file name]
-</code>
-You can find an interactive emacs tutorial by typing
-<code>C-h t</code> (Control+h together, then t).
-To quit, type
-<code>C-x C-c</code>
-(Control+h together, then Control-c together).
-==== Vim ====
-You can run [http://www.vim.org/ Vim] with:
-<code>
-$ vim
-</code>
-Upon starting Vim, you will be in 'command mode'.  In command mode, you cannot actually edit a file.  To edit the file press ''i'' to enter 'insert mode' and press ''Esc'' to return to 'command mode'.  A tutorial is available for Vim, by typing <code>:help</code> and pressing enter (in command mode). To quit, type <code>:quit</code>+Enter (in command mode).
-==User-space programs==
-You can in general install program that are stored completely in your user directory and don't require "administrative" privileges.
-*In general, you should be able to run "portable" apps such as those listed at [http://portablelinuxapps.org/ portablelinuxapps.org]
-* [[R]] and [[Stata]] packages will automatically be installed in your user-space when you use normal install commands.
-*Python packages: You can install them into your user scheme. Installing packages is easiest with python2.7. Example:
- easy_install-2.7 --user pip
