a blast though. I'm the webmaster for this site
http://opag.ca, and everything there is done in Python. Zope is also well
worth looking at, if you buy into the whole "web services" rant coming from
the Java and .NET backers.

If you use gnuplot, set the output type to eps, and it will magickally
ensure that the graph fits nicely within the width of the page without you
having to specify it yourself. I used this all through University.

s unresponsive. That includes running it remotely from
my desktop and using the laptop as an xterm. I'm told that X 4.2 will fix
that, but I haven't tried it yet. I need to set up pinning so that I only get
X 4.2, and not the rest of unstable. sawfish in unstable sucks at the moment.
the laptop model, as much with
any windows-specific crap in it. You should be able to run Debian on most
laptops. I'm running it on my Sony VAIO with no problems, beyond the bug in
the S3 chipset support of X 4.1, but I'll probably upgrade to 4.2 from
unstable to fix that.
