Hey guys I have a question. I always have tried to use the same Linux distro that is used in the CS labs at the Talmage building. I do it only to avoid any posibility that my labs might not run as expected due to some discrepancy in the libraries in my machine at home and the ones at the labs. Thus, I've been using Red Hat 9 for the past year. As I understand, the system admins are updating the distros in the labs to Fedora Core 2, and from what I have heard, someone had to make changes to the GUI of the CS 240 chess program to make it work with the libraries in Fedora Core 2 because of something in the Qt libraries. I bring this up because I have been using SuSE 9.1 Pro for a while at work, and I would love to use that at home instead of FC2. Do you know of the possibilities of library mismatches between FC2 and SuSE 9.1 Pro that might cause problems when trying to complete the labs for the 400-level classes? I'm especially concerned about the classes that deal with graphics and AI (450, 455, 655, 470, 478, 670, etc). I know that with a little of research and some time I could get the configuration of my computer at home to be more FC2-like and be able to work on the lab assignments at home, but I would like to know a bit more about that before I make a decision. If it would be too much of a trouble I'd just rather install FC2 at home and forget about it. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, accusations? P.D. For those of you that are subscribed to the list and are not BYU CS students, the classes I mentioned use things like OpenGL(CS 455)and BZFlag(CS 470). I'm not sure what the other classes use for sure.
