    wmcliphist works nicely if you're inclined to use a windowmaker dock applet. It can be found here.

    And, I have not really used it, but I believe that klipper works well as a kde applet. I'm sure there is a Gnome applet somewhere as well, and I believe that the Gnome panel may accept KDE applets in 2.0. I am just recalling that from memory, however.

    Select the text in your xterm. Click the middle mouse button anywhere other than a link in the browser window. Voila.

    If you run KDE applications often and you are not using kde, try running a kdeinit process in your startup script for X (xsession or xinitrc depending on how you're login works. It uses about 3.5 megs of memory on my machine, 3 of which is shared. This will speed up startup of all KDE apps considerably. This process is of course always running if you're working in a kde environment. Hope this helps.

    If you could find a person that has ever lived in a communist country to ask, than this post would have some validity. However, it is widely known by most that no such country has ever existed. Lenin, and all other 'communist' leaders that I know of, have twisted much of the original intent of communism to another purpose. Here is a link that I quickly found that does thorough job of explaining much of this:

    Being a UofM student, I've been keeping track of the development of this distro for some time. As you said, a lot of the code is relatively site specific. However, slight modifications to the install scheme would allow this to be used in various other setti ngs which employ kerberos authentication, afs, etc. Actually, there are some really impressive features that can be found at: http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/systems/Linux/caen linux/changes.html

    As a Slackware user myself, I was able to use the source to incorporate many options into my current system that would have otherwise been unknown to me. Honestly, I thought this was great. I've even thought of talking to the people working on this and seing if we could put together some kind of installation for other distros.

    &nbsp I disagree. Had I not begun using Linux a year ago, I would most likely have purchased both Office 2000 and Windows 2000 out of sheer ignorance that an alternative existed. I mean seriously, I would, at the time, pray for each new version of Windows and Internet Explorer to be released. However, a year older and a year the wiser, Linux has become my exclusive desktop system. I have yet to find a task that I need to do, which I cannot accomplish.

    &nbsp Just thought I'd share my experience with you.
