Linux in the workplace, on the desk.

[Alan Jackson]

Well I got a Linux box at work last week. On my desk. This is significant,
because we are looking to replace all Unix desktops with Linux over the
next couple of years (about 5000 systems). 

I'm the local guinea pig.

It's a pretty good box. It's an HP with dual 3 Ghz Xeons, 4 Gb ram, and
an Nvidia Quadro4 380XGL. It has Redhat 7.3 on it. And dual 21 inch
flat screen monitors. Nice! I shoved my Ultra-80 to the back of the desk,
and slipped the monitors in front.

I'll be using it for high-end 3D visualization, high throughput data
processing (filtering many Gbytes) and at night our developers will run 
their builds on it. Should be fun...
