Well, play ;-). 

I don't have a job doing computer stuff, i just kinda hack around. 
And yes, i'm still very annoyed using X in a 14" monitor, with a
resolution fo 1024x768, can you say squint? 

I do have real apps running on Linux, but to say That I *Really* 
use them is blasphemous until I actually get paid for using them. 
I just downloaded what seems to be MatLab, I found Spice2g6, 
have Rsim, Magic, OceanCad, and Chipmunk. 

This will be one fun summer, thanks to the release of XF 1.3, 
(couldn't run Magic before as I had a cheap Cirrus SVGA). 

What I still haven't figured out and have been totally scared of
reading cause it looks too big, is how News/Usenet works, so that
I could set up a Newsfeed into my computer (only certain groups), 
and read stuff off line.  How to use ka9q? Term was a much simpler
concept (or was the doc. better?).  SLIP, and uucp, mail. et al. 
Basically the networking stuff. 

Ah, the fun of running a *remote* X windows session 12 miles
away from school.  Even more fun porting stuff.  How about
thrashing your HD swap while compiling for 3.5 hours?  
I don't know of any other OS that can use up 16 Megs of memory...., 
until you hit Unix.

request-> how to set up Newsfeed if all you have is a modem and 
         a student account? Mail Feed? Some hints? 

request2 -> how about an intermittent IP address via modem? 
           (I heard SLIP can do it, but I don't know how to
            set-up the stuff..)
