For ease of use (which, let's face it, is what most people want), DOS Edit beats every Linux command line editor hands down.
I but I can add DNS records, crontab entries or hack up a perl script faster in vi (vim is my favorite take on vi). You can even have more than one person working on the same file at the same time in vi. I think it's the 'killer app'.
OOPS!
Discovered while rebooting that unmounting a reiserfs partition causes a panic! There is a fix available, search on the mailing list for the patch, seems to have worked here.
Oh yes, the newest versions of this system were NT based, requiring 32 MB of RAM and a Pentium MMX processor and ~1GB of hard disk space. And the backoffice portion was FoxPro, multiuser if you map drive letters, as long as 2 people don't access the same file at once!
That's funny, under 4.2 with an M$ Intellimouse I was getting the same when switching to X, fixed by enabling moused. I didn't configure my mouse with sysinstall initially, doing so enabled moused and it's beed perfect for weeks.
How about # of seconds since 1970 (or some other importand date). Chop it up using the metric system (Megasecond, etc).

Like you can't have 10 simultaneous connections on NT4 Workstation, but if you buy Server...
That's the hardest part of building an NT server for me. I can configure DNS, DHCP,etc, but I can never remember if I want per seat licensing or whatever.
Back to the topic though, what is up with the frequency of these releases? 2.4-test releases never came out so quick, and the changelogs aren't that long. Just curious, is it customary to release a slew of maintenance releases weeks after an x.x.0?
Heh, all 5 app launchers on my panel are terminals. Never noticed that before.
The only Gnome apps I really use are PAN and Gnapster, the others are "environment independant" (mozilla, staroffice, and of course, pine).
FWIW, my 68030 came with a "disk tools" foppy, to use for setting up partitions and stuff. It is one floppy, but has a few programs and a simplified MAC OS on it.
Should "Perl for Dummies" also assume a background in Perl? I think "Perl for System Administrators" should assume a background in system administration.
If all you need is read support to "be at peace" you can do that now, you just need to enable NTFS support in your kernel. I don't think the stock RH7 kernel has NTFS support, if not you'll have to recompile. I can read my Win2k NTFS partition fine.

I couldn't traceroute further than exodus.net, anybody else?

It's not until you see the error about .html not existing that you realize what just happened.
You can touch -- -i in directories you are afraid of doing this in. Many would proably just instinctively answer yes anyway though.

Thanks for the link, wish I found that article a few days ago.
VMware is one reason.

apropos kernel (gives a list of manpages that have information about the kernel)
in the list you'll see:
uname (2) - get name and information about current kernel
then of course:
man uname
etc...I'd say that's more intuitive, next apropos rocketscience...

Only snag I hit with the 2©4 series was the new module tree structure, were you able to build the test-xx versions?
And the source is available now, not just the patch©
Maybe grep command history for bad || good instead© Very good otherwise!
And all of Mac OS7 only came to about 4 MB.
Right, it wouldn't make any sense if you're not dumb.

2.4.0-test12 came out within the last few hours too, dated 12-12-00 2AM UTC. I'm building it now, am I among the first?
I just started using Reiserfs yesterday, I was so cutting edge until I saw this was out! 2.4.1 until it's included, huh :(
What the hell is that? ~/.mozilla/bookmarks.html makes a lot more sense.
Even lamer are the ones that use Front Page.
Permissions in NT are kind of half assed though© Why can users save every file they want in the root directory unless you go out of your way to prevent them?
I fear no virus under *n?x, I don't read my mail as root© Pine doesn't do anything with attachments automagically, or easily for that matter©
