What a way to start the new academic year and new semester! We had our first UNIX class today and it was super! I can't wait to get my fingers on a UNIX-powered machine, but for the time being, we are using Cygwin to get into the basics of UNIX.

I'm downloading Cygwin as I type. I'm also going to be trying out other distros such as running FreeBSD on the VMWare player (more on this later).

My other class today was Java 2, and we are set to get into GUI and more advanced Java topics.

Out of class, it was yet another eventful day (same since last week Monday) as many new students keep pouring in to get registered as AAUN students
