== Introduction ==
we don't provide this workstation anymore
* The purpose of this workstation is to provide a complete and defined setup for developers, to ease the learning curve and to produce quick results.
* We also use this workstation to give the testers a defined working environment.
* This workstation is currently hosted with OM in England.
* Please understand that we cannot give access to everyone. We will only give access to people we know and trust. Please contact Timotheus if you want to get access.
* If you want to setup a similar workstation yourself, please visit [[Setting up the hosted developer workstation]]
 
== Remote Desktop with X2Go ==
We are using the [http://www.x2go.org/ X2Go] project for remoting the Ubuntu desktop to your machine (Linux, Windows, Mac are supported).
* See http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:x2goclient#download for download and installation instructions
* For Windows, please download the latest X2Go client from http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/
 
Please use these settings:
* Host: workstation.openpetra.org
* Login: this will be your username
* SSH Port: 2222
* Session Type: you can leave that on KDE, but LXDE will be used anyway, to allow more users at the same time.
* you can also change other settings, eg. the fullscreen display

Some useful programs are:
* Konsole: to get a command line
* Konversation: an IRC client for taking part in the OpenPetra chat at freenode.
* Geany: a text editor that is powerful and easy to use
* File Manager
* Chromium Webbrowser and Firefox Webbrowser
* MonoDevelop: IDE for C# development
* Bazaar Explorer: GUI for working with Bazaar code repositories
* pgAdmin3: work with your PostgreSQL database
