9/25    Can yermom be run from soda?
        \_ Nope, it takes up too much RAM and cycles, and you'd have
           to send the $DISPLAY somewhere else anyway so it'd be a
           waste of net as well. Run yermom on your local wkstn.
           \_ Run top on po, torus, or cory.  You'll see idiotic 61
              students logging in from a PPro workstation running
              yermom remotely.  The only one that is semi-understandable
              is running emacs on the cpu server since gdb and emacs
              interact with each other and you want a fast machine to
              run gdb but given that there are so many other people on
              those machines it's pretty stupid to think that gdb on
              %20 of a powerful machine is faster than 90% on a slower
              workstation.

        \_ Clue required.  Clue would also say "you'd be a fool to do so".
           Do a ps.  You won't find any clue doing so.  Use lynx if you must.
