Morning Andrew,
Here's another question. My understanding is that the AUI is particularly
aimed for occasional cluster users. Are there plans to replace all or most
of the cluster computers with Linux/Dells? Or will it be more or less the
same mix as now. If that's the case, I foresee a problem.
Actually for what platforms are the gnome people designing?
Susan
