You must login using your ISAE-Supaero account after choosing your graphical environment ("GNOME Shell":http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/, GNOME Classic, "Xfce":http://www.xfce.org/). At your first login, once the access is granted by the LDAP server, a home directory is automatically created locally in subdirectories of @/home@.

Notice that networks shares are not available through NFS due to delegated administration of the computers. However, it remains possible to use network shares through SAMBA (use for example Gigolo).
