To me, knowing *very* little about UNIX, its like NT. Nice interface, seems powerful, but no package. Terminal commands are lacking, from the few I know, because I just couldn't get em to work! :) I'll have to grab a fortran compiler there.. BTW, is there any way to shutdown without the terminal command shutdown -h xx:xx? It just slow down the system when I tried, but not shutdown.. Oh, and how to you edit its bootloader???
