I'm a research scientist at philips lab (kirtland AFB New Mexico), and I have 3 linux boxes that I admin as well as using for very large dataset analysis. I replaced an aging RS6000 with a dual PII machine with 70 gig of storage and a tape jukebox. Linux makes my life easier. I got a new gateway for my desktop last year and the first thing I did was slick NT and put redhat 6.0 on it. I use startoffice to read any office gorp that people send me. Anything coming from my machine is either an acrobat file or a latex document. Sheldon
I'm not perl guru, but I'd say the loosers like me would get a lot more out of a good perl book than the winners.:) Lets start a free books for the loosers movement. Sheldon
