My friend removed his linux partion a while ago, but now he installed it on his firewall comp, but I've been witnessing how unstable linux actually is ;)

That last one was only targeted at people who are impressed by start buttons. If you are busy writing your own compiler or modelling mass transfers into black holes or whatever just ignore it ;)

Nuclear reactor components :)

Different material properties for loads of stuff, the folder containing the pre-assessment procedures is about 5 inches thick. We use ABAQUS for the analysis and at the moment we're writing the next version of our internal post-processing software. We license it to a couple of universities as well as use it ourselves.

isn't there an ABAQUS for NT?

Up at British Energy in Gloucester :)

There might be, but we use the SGI version (so that we can run long jobs - as in months) because NT itself isn't stable enough.
