And he's runnig this all through bootcamp on a macbook air.

When my girlfriend and I lived several hundred miles apart, we played Left 4 Dead a LOT together in campaign mode. We are now happily married and looking forward to L4D3 :)

If Bill Maher said it best, then it wasn't never said well.

I have been doing a PhD in Maths for almost 3 years (should finish in March....in theory). Anyway, I use Kile on a Gnome desktop and its the best latex setup ive ever seen. It has forward and backward searching with KDVI. I have a dual monitor setup so that my tex is on the left and dvi preview on the right. I would say it has saved me months of time compared to the losers using winedt ;) As for distro, Ubuntu is ok for a beginner but I use Gentoo....whatever, it doesnt really matter that much.
