-=== Lab Environments ===
-== PC ==
-Pros:
-  *Standalone, machines operate independently of each other
-  *Can run software without impacting other users
-Cons:
-  *Management, increased time as efforts must be duplicated for each machine.
-  *Complex client, admin resources required to fix
-== Mac ==
-Pros:
-  *Standalone, machines operate independently of each other
-  *OSX Software – Only environment with OSX software available
-Cons:
-  *Management, increased time as efforts must be duplicated for each machine.
-== ThinClient ==
-Pros:
-  *Manageability – Reduced administrative efforts as changes can be rolled out quickly to all machines.
-  *Setup – adding new clients requires less resources as only a terminal must be set up
-  *Shared Environment – The environment is standardized for all users
-  *Remote access – Server for shared environment accessible over SSH or Remote Desktop type application
-  *Dumb Client, easy to replace terminal if broken without sysadmin
-Cons:
-  *Downtime – server outage may affect multiple machines
-== BYoC ==
-Pros
-  *Demonstrated enjoyment by students
-  *Requires limited sysadmin computer resources as not managed by SoCS
-Cons
-  *Lack of standardization, all machines will be unique
-  *Software unavailability – some software may be unavailable for BYoC machines, or unpractical/uneconomic to provide
-== Raspberry Pi ==
-Pros:
-  *Mostly standard environment – all pis run the same OS and have same software availability
-  *Requires limited sysadmin resources, most problems fixed by reformat of SD card or replacement of Pi
-Cons:
-  *Limited processing power, not suitable for high computational needs
