Lord_Fukutoku Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: West Texas Insane since: Jul 2002	posted 09-23-2002 21:33 Anyone here know of any sites where I can get some information for running the system in the subject line? We're getting 7 new Sun systems in the CS lab, probably with a lot of the same software as the ones we have already have installed, and I'm supposed to be "familiarizing" myself with the layout/operation of these machines because the CS profs are also getting the same type of machine in their offices and I'm the one everyone is supposed to come to for help... There is a slight dilemna here as I've never used anything mentioned in the subject line... Then to add to it all, the only browser they have installed is Netscape... So if anyone has any suggestions for software that works well with this system, I'd love to hear what you think. Also any personal tips for working with it would be much appreciated.
