The OCF computer lab consists of 29 workstations running Debian Linux. They are maintained by OCF volunteer staff who operate the servers, workstations, and networking gear that helps the lab run.
The computer lab contains 3 scanners, 3 standing desks, and a Blu-ray/DVD/CD reader/writer.
OCF computers include free and open-source software such as LibreOffice (similar to Microsoft Office), GIMP (similar to Adobe Photoshop), and more.
For details about printing in the lab, see Printing.
The OCF computer lab is located in 171 MLK Student Union. It can be accessed through the main MLK building or via the tunnel by the stairs between Upper and Lower Sproul.
To enter the lab, bring a valid student identification card; you will be asked to show it.
