PolyProg Live

This repository contains the configuration files for PolyProg Live. This is the live system that we use during programming competitions. It has a number of advantages:

• The system contains all the editors, IDEs, ... that we want
• We can make the system secure using firewalls, restricted root access, ...
• Custom commands such as hc2-compile can be installed on the system
• During the contest, administrators can access the machines using SSH, and perform remote backups and monitoring.
