Occasionally you have to look at the results of your brilliant theories.

-Gary Kasparov

What we learn from a great teacher cannot be put into a book, because it is in a look, an inflection, a quirk of personality or a tossed-off comment. The greatest human lessons are found in the power of presence.

-David Wolpe

Eric Berkowitz's Collection of Linux Tools

Distros? I've seen them all. Here are my best suggestions of those we use in the lab and our research:

Open Suse The only complete distro that works out of the box, is up-date (but not bleeding-edge) and stable --yes stable. http://www.opensuse.org/

Ubuntu Linux. The quickest path between you and a functional Linux desktop. Also try Kubuntu for the more mature KDE workspace environment on the same base system.

Crux: a good, instant-server or minimalist distro for those who do want to compile a custom kernel. http://www.crux.nu/

Centos: the quickest path to a GUI based Enterprise Server Linux (based on Redhat Server) CentOS

Eric Berkowitz's Collection of Tools for Java and Web Programming

Eclipse Historically the best IDE for Java development. Currently surpassed by Netbeans for Web and J2EE development

How Sun's Java documentation cost me hundreds of hours of wasted work -- a warning about hashed sets in Java -- See the explanation and "equals contract" in Chapter 3 of Effective Java by Joshua Bloch

Netbeans a good platform independent IDE for Java C and C++ (POSIX) with built in facilities for Web and J2EE development

Eric's Java Console for Netbeans and Interactive Java Console (Terminal) Applications
