Closure of the SRCF Desktop service

Malcolm Scott, 1 July, 2017
Note: this post has been migrated from our previous wiki documentation. The sysadmins have decided to retire the SRCF Desktop service permanently on 29th July 2017 due the service being in urgent need of substantial development work, which due to steadily declining usage would not be the best use of limited sysadmin time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to the remaining users of this service. We are of course happy for you to run graphical applications on the main SRCF shell server, shell.srcf.net, via VNC and/or SSH; we offer some suggestions on how to use VNC on the shell server.
