But let me put it in this different way: When I received your message I simply issued the command 'uptime' in each of my workstations runing Linux. This command returns the time elapsed from the last reboot, system crash, power fail,etc. The answers were: 3 months 35 days... 5 months 14 days... 5 months 14 days... Now, please try to imagine a Windows box that can survive at least a weak without horribly crashing with an infamous message such as 'General protection fault on module XXX' 'Please exit all your application and restart....' This is just one reason to consider a robust networked OS as Linux as your Natural choice for running long g94 jobs. With the same resources (installed memory, disks, processor,etc.) that MSWord 97 takes some minutes to save and send a complex transparency or presentation to your printer, a Linux machine can be computing a post Hartree Fock g94 calculation, sending mail, supporting a web server and printing dozens of pages to a Postcript printer without showing a great effort. On the other hand, if you never had worked in Unix, you may consider a painful experience to install Linux and migrating to a very different OS. This was true up to a year ago. Right now, the installation of a RedHat Linux 5.2 is very easy, it was simplified a lot. The same is true for Caldera 1.3 (but I find the former a bit more friendly for beginers). The windows managers included with the distribution are very handly and the system administration has a fully integrated graphical interface. You can also find high quality office software such as Office Write, WordPerfect, Corel, available for $20-100 and tons of Computational chemistry visualization programs for free. So, for 'computer-friendly' people, the migration to Linux can be almost painless. Best regards, Mariano D. Mariano. A.
