Redbrick is DCU's Computer Networking Society.
It was originally setup to give students the opportunity to experiment with UNIX systems. Over time redbrick has grown in both computing and social aspects. The social aspects range from meeting up in the bar to events such as Q-Zar and Bowling.
We hold tutorials during the year that will demonstrate how to use the services that Redbrick offer and to teach members learn topics such as programming and web design.
Redbrick's primary servers are Azazel, Carbon, Murphy and Morpheus. These provides the major services that you will be using including programming environments, web services, our IRC server.
The following will introduce you to a selection to our services and provide links to a selection of tutorials to get you started.
