I love it!  Actually 2 came up for Novell when I went there. 
 Unfortunatly there were about 20 under 'mac spoof' that 
came up at the same time.  They were dis'ing us man!  see 
for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjpn3L3bSJQ
or: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFAJDbV9Vfs

They were funny though.  I'm tempted to send the novell link 
off to my niece, but then she'd stumble on the other spoof's 
and I'd never hear the end of it :)

On the technical end -- I still need to get a dvd viewer 
working but everything else is looking really solid.  And I 
finally have some decent command line tools!

Last night was spent trying to make sense of the various 
terms and kanji.  I'm happy now with xterm, uxterm and the 
gnome term.  The KDE's konsole isn't displaying kanji right 
and mlterm has some strangeness in it.  But I have enough 
working that I don't want to spend more time with it.
