Well, sort of...
I'm using the Cisco VPN client in conjunction with X-Win32's xterm to get remote access to my home directory on the Tux cluster here at school. In other words, I'm using Gentoo (with KDE), but since every single action has to be encrypted, sent from Dragonfly to the Cisco router to the Tux clster, decrypted, encrypted, sent back to Dragonfly from the cluster via the Cisco routerand then decrypted, it's REALLY slow. Oh yeah, it won't stream - each action apparently has to be confirmed before the next one will be sent. Ugh.
Other than that it hasn't really been a problem - although I'm very clumsy, I've been able to bash my way through bash well enough to open Firefox so I can send my code to myself via Gmail in order to write it on my machine where it's not quite so unbelievably slow. See, I've decided that it would be faster to download the academic license of Visual Studio.NET 2003 from Drexel's ftp server, extract it, and install Visual Studio itself. Which is just sad.
Only the fact that I wanted to make a post from Linux on my own computer (sort of) has me suffer through this... the things I'll do for UF... crazy, isn't it?
Do you have any idea how long it took to correct those typos (remember, I couldn't see on the screen what I was typing)? If I missed any, just pretend you didn't notice :-) |
