If you're going to use Tesla for storing files, do not assume it is a secure system or that your files are backed up - assume it will be wiped as soon as you leave! Also assume that this computer as well as other communal systems are not secure and think twice before you enter in your secured personal info such as login/password combinations.

If you use this machine for IRC please state who you are when you make a statement - generic 'tesla' comments/questions/complaints often make more sense when others know who you are.

===REBUILD DUE (WEMBLEY CLEANUP)===
This system is due for a rebuild with Ubuntu 18.04 and will sport the following:
* Printer access
* Cool Hackspace Logo at Login Screen and Guest desktop
* Default Guest login access - (session data deleted upon logout - save to a USB key or upload to your favourite cloud provider)
** USB Serial Port Access (dialout /etc/group)
** USB Drive Mounting including thumb drives and external drives
** Shortcuts to addcard.py and X-Chat IRC access on desktop
* [[LDAP]] login access - (no guarantee that data will be preserved for any appreciable amount of time) - but nice to have your own login
* No guest sudo access - please find a burner laptop or random hackable PC and install Linux and go have fun there)
* BIOS locked down - no booting from external USB key - again, find a random PC and do your bidding there
* Software build including Chrome/Chromium, Arduino IDE, LibreOffice, various multimedia and enhancements, etc.
