linux PC running great!

To: Steve and Tom
From: Tom Priddy

Thanks for the great support and assistance in getting our linux PC
system running
GEMPAK. We have one dual-processor linux system running everything in
the UK Ag. Weather Center...web, NWS weather wire, ldm and gempak and a
backup
linux PC. Previously, four  older sun systems shared running everything
at full capacity. Now
we have purchased 2 new 800MHz processers ($500) to upgrade the 500MHz
system.
And in January if prices go down even further I intend to buy 2- oneGHZ
processors. Not only is linux very robust but the price of PC parts is
very inexpensive. As it stands....
I highly recommend linux. Last week I was ready to transfer gempak back
to our sun systems.
Again, thanks for all of your timely help and assistance.
