Yeah, I think so too. Even cooler (IMHO) would be something that would tell
me what I have on the system. :) I'm always looking at /var/lib/dpkg/available

Hmmm. Kind of an open ended question. You mean besides what the web pages
say?
I know that a cluster of Linux machines using a resonably quick
intercommunications network can rival some of the large supercomputers for

The method I tell folks around here to use is to go to a virtual console,

Hello to the group.
I have what seems like an obvious question, but after a lot of research I
