I don't own a unix version of matlab and I've been a bit trepidatious to 
try Octave (is it of high-enough quality to replace Matlab?).  As for 
OpenAFS, I've never been able to get it to compile for my homebrewed 
kernel (configurator script gives the error, "No available sys_call_table 
method"), and the Redhat versions don't work on same kernel.  Of course, 
if I did a linux install on my desktop I would use Debian and so maybe that 
issue would go away.  I guess I could also look into vmware, which sounds 
like a really neat concept.

But yeah.  That's where I'm at.  I tried the latest release (1.2.11).  
I've heard that OpenAFS 'dislikes' Linux because its kernel is too much a
'moving target'.
