Hello,

As a hobby, I've been developing a web site on Geocities devoted to the
installation and learning of free software on a Windows computer.  I started
becoming interested in such things when I found and tried Scilab.

The target audience is the graduate student lugging a laptop computer to and
from school each day, but hopefully it will appeal to practicing engineers
and scientists, undergraduates, and even high school students and hobbyists.

If you're interested, please check it out at
http://www.geocities.com/raluke/techcomputing

It is definitely a work in progress, with most of my material being on
Scilab, LaTeX, pstricks, Cygwin GNU development tools, C and Fortran
programming, and debugging with gdb.  Again, this is a hobby, not a
well-financed commercial venture, so progress is somewhat glacial.  But
I would like to flesh out the stuff I already have and would like to add
more
material on literate programming and symbolic computing.

Hope this is of interest.
-Robert
