Yes. Linux already has full of such softwares. When I decide to hack IP
in SCL, their codes will be helpful.

Good question! Let me see ... sometimes I should write Java, C, and C++
codes(life is not so easy to write only Lisp codes). Linux is not bad
for these. Also I need a web browser. Linux has it too. And ... Hmm...
They're minimal things why I need the Linux box. If my MacIvory has such
things I'll kick the Linux box :-) Shortly, to me my Linux box is
somthing like your Mac, Rainer.

PS: Ah! my Linux box also has CL, Scheme, and Emacs. Just one
CL(Symbolics) is not enough to me(also want other CLs Franz, Harlequin,
CMU, ...).
