For ssh and X11 needs there is a linux virtual(program) running on lab PCs. Just login to one of the Blake systems and click on the linux icon on the desktop. It automatically boots into guest mode. Once established a terminal window should start up automatically. From there you can login to the cluster with ssh:
ssh -Y -C UTLN@login001UTLN@login.cluster.tufts.edu
Make sure x11 over ssh works by typing xlogo at the cluster shell prompt.
This should bring up a small window with an X inside of it.
