Great! Good for you... :-) BTW, could you expand on that "heavily"? No, I 
wouldn't be bored with the other stuff... go on... (ofcourse if others do 
not mind it) I am not as fortunate to have a linux machine at my workplace, 
but at home its linux all the way. Eclipse is one thing I have been trying 
to get going on my box... Waiting for the new version to appear in
somewhere... Cannot download over a dialup... Last time I ran win2k was on
Sat when I tried to qualify for the Australian GP... :-)) 

My desktop as I said is a (MDK9.1) KDE3.1 desktop. I do beleive my box is
pretty much tuned. KDE is optimized. I even thought of prelinking it for 
getting that extra bit of speed. Two months back, I got another beast going
on my box, any guesses...? Yeps, Oracle 8.1.7. I aswell customized the 
kernel parameters for the beast, though they say these aren't necessary for
typical home user development. (And Oracle works fine with my stock kernel)
I use it extensively as my primary database and also along with WebLogic 
6.1/8.1 with IDEA 305

BTW, have you ever used IDEA?
