The first week of Linux is absolutely fascinating. I took some time to get use to the system, like sudo my way around permissions and stuff. For the first time, Linux didn't screw up my life.
Linux made me feel high tech, I feel completely mobile. This is what using computer is all about.
I use putty on my windows computer to SSH into my gPC. Using WinSCP access my drives, with SftpDrive, it turns gPC's hard disk into a normal windows network drive. With TightVNC and x11vnc, I can control both the current display and X server sessions and create new ones remotely, way better than window's remote assistant.
The gPC installed a PCI wifi card, cost me 2 days to get it to work, a valuable experience.

I'm writing this post in my bed, and periodically access the gPC 6 meters away, checking up on the downloading progress, without getting up! I can even shut it down when I'm done with it.

My math problem database prototype is also ready, so far, LaTeX worked as expected. I still have to create scripts automatically process Asymptote and PStrick's outputs and cache them.
shutdown -h now
Next task in my list... make it the central home server that can stream media.

I feel so sophisticated and I want to own more computers, a lot more! Money is really important to me now

Great idea for families with many kids to save money:
1. Get a really powerful desktop
2. Get a nice router
3. Get some cheap old laptops, desktops, connect to the main computer though VNC. Linux have no problem manage users.

That's what I'm going to do. Back at China, I got a very old machine (P133), I can make it into one of the graphic terminals, or a powerful wireless router that consumes quite a lot energy.

I believe my router have some problem, I still can't access my gPC with an external IP, else I would show off to everyone in my school.
