1 Your laptop and your responsibility
You have bought a new laptop via the Neptun project. It is your laptop now, which means
that maintenance, i.e. keeping it up to the latest security standards, and data care is in
your responsibility. This document provides basic help. However, you can obtain support if
you feel uncertain; more help is given in the next section.
2 More help
Detailed help is available on the Web at
http://www.neptun.ethz.ch/services/support/ where you also find the list
of the responsible helpdesks. The helpdesks are responsible for ETH-students only. ETH-
members are asked to refer to their departmental support group.
2.1 Remarks for ETH members:
Î All Neptun owners will be informed about updates for their Neptun laptop via the
Message Tree of the ETH Informatikdienste. If you want to change your subscription, you
can do this at https://n.ethz.ch/cgi-bin/MessageTree/main.cgi.
