Requesting a system
Persons of Contact are the Technical Advisors of your Research Group, if present.
Requests for students doing their Bachelor's or Master's Theses must happen via their Advisor.
Other Systems
We can start installations for other types of systems (within reason) up to the root password prompt, but will not administer these. You will be wholly responsible for the system in these cases.
