Thomas E. Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has written an article entitled "A GNU/Linux Scientific Workstation" which is available online at <http://www.32bitsonline.com/article.php3?file=issues/199812/sciencework1&pag e=1> It is written at a fairly high level and discusses the general requirements for setting up a scientific workstation (as opposed to setting up an X, web, or file server) including the hardware and system setups. "An alternative packaging system is offered by Debian, whose typical DEB package, upon installation (or deinstallation), magically adjusts the window manager's menu system appropriately. I use Debian GNU/Linux. Every piece of software that I discuss in this and the next article has an associated DEB package, provided by Debian, and probably has an associated RPM package."
