my system

ok, for linux, I can pick whichever combination I like. I'm the fan of SuSE 10.1, Gnome, OpenOffice. Plus, now I'm happy with my configs:

gmail is mapped to evolution: instant messaging gaim: wireless card configured: shortcuts are my favourite setup: cvs, perl, gcc, and java are configurated with vim: netbeans running for my school assignments: join robocode project in spare time: scim & changjei are running: online dictionary, online weather report, online stock: my favourite game minesweeper, szechuan mahjong: non-open source realplayer for rmvb movies (anyone care to teach me how to watch DivX?): I don't have 3D accel card so no xgl experience (a little bit regret) ...

in general it's a stable - a productive development platform! if I had matlab linux version for lab report, then I probably won't need to log into Windows at all.
