Search the web for the Linux Lab Project, that is it. There is also
Scientific Applications for Linux (SAL for short).

 I have been thinking about these things for years, and I have a couple
 hundred bucks to buy some hardware to enhance my science classroom,
 but haven't a clue where to start.  Apple was using the 1eee488 years
 ago.  Why can't I find a simple, cheap PCI ieee488 card?

Hi Alan,

i was also interested in this. I work in a heterogene NT-Cluster with my
linux box and all others of my surrounding us LabView. From this year on,
there is a Linux-Version, that also supports the National Instuments
GPIB-Board. Unfortunately our Framegrabber is not supported, so i shall
switch to Windoze for measurements.
I have heard of a group in Berlin that do measurements under linux with some
GPIB-Board that do not cost  1000$+1000$ for LabView... 

Hope it helps,

Ingo
