As long as whatever OS you use can use putty and winscp, which are two useful programs for connecting and modifying your class accounts from your laptop (aka when you’re in your dorm), then you should be fine. I believe Macs and Windows can both use those programs, and Linux can too. (I believe the computers in the labs use UNIX right?)

<p>PuTTY and WinSCP are versions of ssh and scp adapted for Microsoft Windows. MacOS and Linux typically use (and include) OpenSSH (a descendant of the original ssh developed on Unix), which names the programs ssh and scp.</p>
