The list of installed applications includes:

  • Mathematical software (including R)
  • Graphics editors (including GIMP, ImageMagick)
  • Software development tools (including compilers, interpreters, SCM clients, and debuggers)

Your Linux shell account includes 250MB storage. This is accessible when logged into the system, or via SFTP.
