Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!

Got back to work tomorrow. Let's do it.

Debian is better than FreeBSD?

Is Debian better than FreeBSD? Because Debian is a free distribution of Linux?
Debian may be the nearly the same with FreeBSD for me. However, I can install Linux applications (such as Matlab/IFC/Maple/PGI) in Debian. But in FreeBSD, it is very cumbersome, or even impossible, to install these.

Anyway, I like FreeBSD more than Debian. And I now got Interl Fortran Compiler port run in FreeBSD now. How good!

Solaris basic commands

ps
ps -ef
tcsh

Pay attention, the path of executables is different from that in Linux/FreeBSD.

GAMIT warning in solaris

"Note: IEEE floating-point exception flags raised:
Inexact; Invalid Operation;
See the Numerical Computation Guide, ieee_flag(3M) "

But in Linux/FreeBSD, no such problems.

go to bed early

If you wanna keep working for at least 8~10 hours a day, you should go to bed early or have a good sense of self-disclipine.

It took so long to install scilab

So long-about serveral hours, and I nearly cannot stand. I remember it got compiled fast last time. However, I installed it from the ports depository, and it required atlas which is apprently responsible for this long time expense.

When will it be finished?

a new virtural machine

fbd61b
with only f77 support (also, R, Scilab, GMT, gg)

all installed
