I will be very soon doing just that... I am a "computer-hungry under-
grad" myself -- but I have already given accounts out to two such others,
and probably another few will go out to my project partners. In any case
Linux is faster than the overloaded campus Suns. We shall see how well
Linux truly performs under heavy load very soon now...
Watch for those bug reports from me in the near future...
