Linux in the lab
Spiff. The computer science lab now has almost an entire wall of linux machines. Okay, so it's only 6 machines, but nobody else seems interested in them, so it's okay. I haven't recieved any information about these systems, but I was able to log in, so I guess I'm allowed to use them.

Anyway, there's no GNOME or KDE installed, so I'm getting used to AfterStep again. Ah well, the first thing that popped up when I logged in was twm, clock, and an xterm window. Talk about lame!

And the damn xsession script was written in csh, and I don't feel like learning csh or porting it to bash. Ah well.

For some reason Mozilla scrolls really slowly, too. It's not a remote X session, so I don't get it. Meh.

hmm. up at my university we have a lab that uses HP-UX, or maybe it's just a Hewlett-Packard-sponsored lab that uses Linux, I don't know. It's for CS majors, mostly, I think. There's a bunch of little Sun terminals that use KDE, though, around campus, and basically all they have is Mozilla. Mostly people use them for email; they don't have chairs or anything, just flat panels and Sun keyboards.

Figures. ASU's heading the other direction. We used to have a dozen or so Solaris machines, but they were replaced with Win2000 machines a couple years ago. (I always liked the Solaris machines, for no other reason than that most students were afraid of them and so they were usually open.)
