5 <table><tr><td>Scripts</td><td>linux.mit.edu</td>
19 [scripts.mit.edu](http://scripts.mit.edu/) is a Linux/Apache web hosting platform for the MIT
20 community. Any Athena user or group locker can host dynamic web applications
21 written in PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, or any other language, or automatically
22 install popular blog, wiki, and other software via the quick-start
27 [Linerva](http://linerva.mit.edu), aka linux.mit.edu,
28 is SIPB's Linux shell server for all MIT users. Linerva is
29 fast, runs popular Linux software, and allows long-lasting login
34 [Debathena](http://debathena.mit.edu) brings the full functionality of Athena to your Debian or
35 Ubuntu system. Install Athena wholesale or in small pieces—a few
36 client utilities, or a full system with Athena-account logins and AFS
37 home directories. You can even run software like Matlab or Mathematica
38 straight from Athena lockers. Debathena is also the basis for the official
39 [Athena 10](http://athena10.mit.edu) due to replace Athena 9 in 2009.
41 ## Library Access to Music Project (LAMP)
43 [LAMP](http://lamp.mit.edu) is an electronic music library for the MIT community. Request
44 songs from a selection of 1840 CDs at [lamp.mit.edu](http://lamp.mit.edu/) and tune in
45 on MIT cable TV to hear your music play.
47 ## The SIPB AFS Cell and Locker Software
49 SIPB maintains hundreds of useful [[programs in AFS lockers|projects/lockers]] for use on
50 Athena. Many popular programs are in the <tt>sipb</tt> and <tt>outland</tt>
51 lockers, and even more have their own lockers in SIPB AFS. SIPB's
52 <tt>whichlocker</tt> program, located in <tt>outland</tt>, makes locker
53 software easy to find. (<tt>add outland; whichlocker whichlocker</tt>)
55 The [[SIPB AFS-Moira synchronizer|projects/sipb-afs-sync]] can automatically synchronize
56 some AFS groups in the SIPB cell with Moira groups.
58 ## IAP Classes and Cluedumps
60 SIPB organizes dozens of intensive [classes](http://sipb.mit.edu/iap) on computing topics during
61 IAP. During the fall term SIPB also offers a series of [Cluedump](http://cluedumps.mit.edu)
62 talks, with a different topic each week. Add yourself to
63 <tt>cluedump-announce@mit.edu</tt> if you're interested.
67 SIPB publishes [Ask SIPB](http://www.mit.edu/~asksipb/), a regular column in The Tech explaining technical tools useful on Athena and at MIT generally.
71 First steps towards improving compatibility of Mailman and Moira mailing list systems: enabling mutual access controls and building compatible command-line configuration tools for Mailman. Our [[plan|projects/mailman-acl]] to accomplish this is in progress.
75 There's this closed source app called [Doodle](http://doodle.com), that helps people schedule events around busy schedules. But it's closed source, and it sucks in certain ways. Let's make an open-source Doodle-killer!
79 This website is a wiki. There are many [[things that can be improved|projects/www]], both on the content level and on the programming level.
83 SIPB has the resources and the expert advice to make your project to
84 improve computing at MIT (better, the world) happen! Come by W20-557
