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 -- Robert Luke raluke@yahoo.com http://www.geocities.com/raluke/ My PGP public key is available at my web site and on the MIT PGP Certificate server at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/ (search on "raluke" for Lookup PGP Key)
