While this is true, and printing is certainly our most-demanded +service (we print hundreds of thousands of pages per year), there are plenty of +other great services provided by the OCF, which come free with your account! + +Note: the following information applies to individual accounts, not group +accounts. To request an account for your student group, or for information on +student group web hosting, check out +[our group account page](LINK-GOES-HERE). + +## Free Computing + +The OCF was founded to provide all members of the Cal campus community with +computing resources. Anytime we're open, all members of the community are +welcome to use the computers for any reason – not just to print. All of the +computers in the OCF run Linux and have a variety of useful applications +pre-installed. +* Google Chrome, Firefox, and Brave are all installed, allowing you to choose +your preferred web browser. +* The LibreOffice suite is installed as an alternative to Microsoft Office. It +is mostly cross-compatible with Office files, meaning one can import or export +.docx/.pptx/.xlsx files. You can also use Google Docs from a web browser. +* GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is provided as an alternative to Adobe +Photoshop, and Inkscape replaces Adobe Illustrator. For animation and 3D +modeling, we provide access to Blender. +* Rather than iTunes/QuickTime or Windows Media Player, you can access music or +video files using VLC. +* Pre-installed IDEs include Atom and Visual Studio Code. +* The default PDF utility is Document Viewer, which can be used to view, print, +and edit PDFs. +* Steam is installed, if you would like to play video games. +Most of these applications can be found on the desktop, and all applications +can be accessed from the menu in the top-left corner of the screen, analogous +to the Start menu in Windows. We also offer three computers with dedicated +scanners, and one with a CD/DVD reader. + +## Persistent File Storage + +When you log out of one of our desktop computers, any files you saved to that +computer will be erased. This is because most files saved to these computers +are immediately printed, so there is no need to take up disk space holding onto +them. However, some users may wish to have access to their files every time +they log in to an OCF desktop. As part of your OCF account, you gain access to +15 GB of free file storage on OCF servers. This file storage is accessible by +clicking on the "OCF File Storage" icon on any desktop computer or by +[SSHing into our account server](https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/docs/services/shell/). + +Files placed in the "OCF File Storage" folder are accessible from any desktop +computer and are saved even after you log out, whereas files placed in the +"Home" folder are local to that computer and are deleted upon log-out. The "OCF +File Storage" folder should contain a folder called "public_html", which is +used for web hosting – see below. + +## Free Printing + +By signing up for an account, you get 200 free sides of printing (200 pages +single-sided, 100 pages double-sided). We print black-and-white only, in +economode (meaning the ink may be a bit lighter than expected). You are limited +to 20 sides of printing per day. We ask that you download or export any +documents they wish to print as PDFs first, as these work best with our print +server. + +## Web Hosting + +When you create an OCF account, you also gain acccess to web hosting space on +our domain: ocf.berkeley.edu/\~yourusername. You can create your own website +using HTML/CSS/JS or use a system like WordPress or Django. Alternatively, you +can use your website as file storage. For more technical information on +building your website, check out +[our web hosting page](https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/docs/services/web/). + +If you are a signatory of a student group and would like to request a website +under the berkeley.edu domain (i.e. ocf.berkeley.edu) you will need to create a +group account and complete a few steps before making your request. Instructions +can be found on [our vhost page](https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/docs/services/vhost/). + +## Miscellaneous + +The OCF provides various other services to all users, such as access to our +high-performance computing cluster, Mastadon instance, software mirrors, a +personal MySQL database, and more.
