  Today I got Debian 8 installed on my PC.  It turned out that the other distros I tried don't support my graphics card.  
  
All in all, I installed:
  - Debian 8 "Jessie" (Linux OS) - installed KDE desktop environment
  
- Thunderbird (mail client) - linked it to my gmail
  
- FileZilla (FTP client) - linked it to my website and several new REAL accounts
  
- Chromium (Web Browser)
  
- Komodo Edit (Python IDE) - successful python 2.7 "hello world"
  
  Dr. Mayor saw to it that my CSU Chico credentials (krocha-brownell) now grant me webadmin access to lidar.csuchico.edu, and he set up a staff page for me here: 
http://lidar.csuchico.edu/staff/.   He also helped me fill out some financial paperwork and showed me to the Research Foundation at 25 Main Street.  I have an orientation there this Friday at 8:15 am.
  
  Chris Mauzey got me a new account (kbrownell) on the REAL data farm (Typhon) where I will run Typhoon through SSH.  He also set me up with a bulk storage directory there.
  
With Chris' help I was able to copy over all of REAL's code and build Typhoon in my directory.  We even successfully ran Typhoon on some old input data.
  
  Input:

  In working with him in Terminal, it was painfully obvious that my Linux skills have suffered after being on Windows these past few years.
