You will connect to all servers using your personal account (see ["Accounts"](/accounts)). There are two main ways to connect:
* Using ssh, for CLI access
* Using a remote desktop client called x2go for GUI access.
* Using a remote desktop client called x2go for GUI access (only available on `philae` and `icaro`).
**IMPORTANT:** the preferred connection mechanism is ssh, as it uses fewer network resources and reduces the load on the server. So, use the remote desktop only if you *really* need a GUI interface for some reason, and remember that there are *very few* valid reasons. For example, not being familiar with the command line is not one of them (you are part of a computer engineering group, after all).
