Introduction
As of May 2014, the machines we currently have in our labs have already reach its end of the product life cycle. The time for them to be replaced is long overdue. I heard that new lab machines are scheduled to be deployed in Fall 2014. ITS is currently put out two new machines for ICT faculty to try out. The wiki page will be used to document some of the test results including some hardware specification of the new Lab machine under Linux.
