Right now, pretty shallow, but once I have my machine and start
programming...

What would be nice is to have SaberC.  Any of you seen that?  It runs
on Sun's and X platforms, and is REALLY slick in my opinion.  There is
even an editor so that you can write your own code and compile it all
from within the program.  It will show graphically linked lists
(whatever kind), and it will update it on the fly.  I couldn't begin
to describe a decent portion of all it's features.  It's loaded.  Now
I would LOVE to see that.  I know people who swear by it, allowing
them to debug VERY quickly, and it finds bugs that cc, lint, gcc, gdb,
whatever don't!  It's a marvelous package from everything I've heard.
