    See if you can solve:

    1. Find the general expression for dy/dx at any point on the curve given by
    f(x,y) = x + y + sinx + cosy = 1

    2. Find du/dt when u = acosk(x-ct) where a,k,c and x are constant, t and u being independent and dependent variables respectively.

    "Did anyone else notice the OpenBSD banner ad at the bottom of the page?"

    well since daemonnews.org seems to be solely devoted to BSD, it doesn't really strike me as particularly odd that the BSD folks would be buying ad space there, right?

    Or is this publication entirely supported by the BSD crew?

    I can't speak for netBSD, but this is my main machine. I do basically all of everything I do on this, web design, some coding, experimenting with assorted packages. Plus it serves http, pop3, smb, dhcp and does NAT for the kids windows machines.

    It's a little behind Linux in some areas, but it's a long way from 'dead'.

    People are always saying that Slackware is dead. One wonders what their motives are in wishing it so.

    I've always wondered if it's resentment and/or hostility toward something that works well but doesn't really have many shiney bits to diddle with.

    Slackware isn't dead. I wish the Sparc port of Slack hadn't died, though.
