To connect to your plug over the network, you'll need to connect to the computer managing the GuruPlug cluster, which is named "HongKong".
# Connect to HongKong: <code>ssh -XC ''nameOfYourPlug''hongkong</code> -- for example, if your GuruPlug is <code>cdot-guru-2-3</code>, then connect with <code>ssh -XC cdot-guru-2-3@hongkong</code> (password is "fsoss10")
# Connect to your plugfron HongKong: <code>ssh ''nameOfYourPlug''</code> = Making Your Plug Useful = Now it's time to have some fun setting up your plug. == Using yum == Fedora uses a package manager named ''yum''.
