- The CPC01 notes that a group has been charged
with solving this problem, and thus will say no more about it.

- According to some, this is analogous to having two
telephone handsets on your your desk; one for calling long distance,
and one for local calls.

- ...laptop
- Applications which essentially allow one
operating system to run on top of another are one solution to the
two desktop dichotomy. For example, such applications allow any MS
windows operating system to be run fully and simultaneously within a
unix/linux kernel, e.g., http://www.vmware.com. Dual (in-line) OS
capabilities also exist for Macintosh operating systems, e.g.
http://www.suse.com/en/products/suse_linux/ppc/.

- ...members
- While details remain to be worked out, the CPC01
feels that only a selected subset of operating systems and
applications should be supported on the network. At the present
time, support might be restricted to: Mac OS 9 or 10 (not 7 or 8),
Linux Redhat 7 (not Debian or SuSE or Caldera), Windows ME or XP
(not 95), Microsoft Office, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop (not Corel
or Canvas or Quark), for example. The list of supported operating
systems and applications could be reviewed and updated
yearly by the Standing Committee (Rec. 1).

as gigabit network backbone connecting all buildings on campus, are
not widely known or appreciated.

- At the time of writing, an
oversight committee is being formed to work with external affairs at
the CEI to revamp the Lamont web pages.

- Lamont is currently
investing in this effort through the LIF, and other internal funding
mechanisms. Indications are that the NSF Ocean Sciences Division,
for example, is prepared to invest in the community's MG&G data
base needs.
