• Mosaic - this is what got us started.

• Tcl/Tk/Tcl-DP - Graphical utilities, communication scripts and socket based programs.

• GNU Tool Suite - Emacs our editor of choice, gcc our compiler of choice, cool software.

• Linux - Some of our development machines run Linux.

• FreeBSD - Some of our web servers run FreeBSD.

• Samba - Our PC/Unix unifying software.
