Hi, folks. I'm getting some inquiries about Ubuntu these days. The
following, from one of our postdocs, is fairly typical:
> I'm not usually one to proselytize, but the availability of scientific

I am personally happy and comfortable with SL, but I *can* see an
advantage to having Avogadro's number of packages available for quick
and easy installation.
I'd like to know how others are dealing with this. Is anybody using
Ubuntu clients with SL servers for instance? Any other words of wisdom
on this topic?
Thanks.
