I am a new graduate student who has been tasked with developing some =
level of expertise in bioinformatics and perl.  I currently work on a =
Windows 98 platform.  If I stay with Windows, am I just buying myself =
problems down the road?  Should I consider developing some Linux =
expertise and creating a Linux partition for the BioPerl work? =20

Thanks for any advice.  Opinions welcome.  Slanderous comments about MS =
gladly accepted.
