Your plug for PowerTerm worked...I gave it a try and was duly impressed.
A couple of suggestions, however... I seem to notice some weird font problems after customizing my environment...although my fonts look fine, anything coloured (like a directory listing) comes up in a slightly larger font. Looks kind of weird.:-)
Also, this program would rock if it could be integrated with 'screen'. Imagine restarting a screen session with screen -x to split it between multiple screens, and have powerterm manage them all with tabbed windows -- then when powerterm is exited, the session is detached, allowing it to be reattached with a regular screen -r, or with powerterm.
Oooh, it *does* work! Unless you use Squid, of course. Looks like either a bug in Squid, or Squid is being overly RFC-compliant about not allowing underscores in host-names.
Sorry, moderators. [There goes some more karma;-( ]
Quite right. We're about to acquire 10 rack-mount boxes to use as Linux-based servers, and one vendor included in the quote: "Red Hat Linux 6.1, Qty. 10 Unit Price: 12800 yen Total Price: 1280000 yen".
Our systems manager almost went ahead with this, throwing away about the equivalent $1200 US. I told him that we didn't need the licenses -- the downloaded copy I burnt to CD would suffice. When I finally convinced him as to the legality of this, his jaw pretty much hit the floor.
[ I've only been with the organization a couple of months, and my workstation showing off what Linux is capable has been the source of non-stop amazement for several staffmembers here:-) ]
So yeah...sales figures mean absolutely *nothing* when it comes to how quickly Linux server usage is growing. I'd have to guess that Linux on the server is equal to NT deployment now...while continuing its exponential growth patterns.
I keep hearing people say, "and the system came right back to where I was". Is all of kernel memory stored to disk usually? (Otherwise, I could understand how a JFS could restore data and even swap space, but kernel memory?)
If these JFS's are really this powerful *please* have it ready by the time Linus releases 2.4 this summer.;-)
Just for fun, I put together a DVD case straw poll on http://www.LinuxNinja.com/. Feel free to cast your vote for who you think (or hope) will prevail.;-)
I'm looking forward to this -- from what I understand, Mozilla will be far snappier than Netscape is, particularly on older machines with limited RAM.
The fact that proprietary technologies had to be stripped from Netscape before the product was Open Sourced is a _feature_, IMHO. Sure, Java is nice, but I wonder when/if I've ever used ``Full Circle Talkbalk Software'', ``INSO International Proofreader'', ``Visibroker'', etc. Not to mention the unused features such as the newsreader (I prefer tin), the mail-reader (pine), and the composer (vim).
I've only got 64 Mb of RAM, and after using Netscape for a good 30 minutes or so, my entire system bogs down. It's either memory leaks in Netscape or leaks in E/GNOME. Judging from past experience with other windowing environments, it's likely Netscape doing the leaking.;-)
Looking forward for the beta release (middle of February, wasn't it?)
I think we'll need to be cautious about these new drugs. Why, just the other day I saw a rerun of ``Bewitched'' where Dr. Bombay came up with a cure for the common cold. The side effects when used on humans, however, were horrendous!
I suppose you're correct, but believe it or not, I get a lot of enjoyment just out of the odd e-mail message I receive, thanking me for having written the guide.
Of course, I'd be lying if I said not being nominated (or even winning some prize as a result) wasn't icing on the cake.;-)
I wish somebody would nominate http://www.LinuxNinja.com/linux-admin/ for the ``LAME'' guide I put 2 years of part-time work into it for the good of the community. (hint hint wink wink)
(Actually I'm just trying to get noticed by the various Linux companies, because Doc writers never seem to get ``The Letter''.;-( ) How can I ever earn my million unless I can get in on the upcoming LinuxOne IPO? (heh)
You're right, of course. Unfortunately, I am not willing to pay hundreds of dollars to purchase a mediocre proprietary operating system plus the hard drive space upon which to install it, so you'll just have to live with the colours until such time as I can get it fixed.:-)
If you have difficulties seeing the site, you're obviously using a non-supported browser like MSIE. MSIE's colour support in tables is *broken*.
(This was unintentional on my part -- I do not have any way of testing my pages under MSIE, so I didn't realize how horrendous they looked with that browser. I plan on fixing this -- *some day* -- but in the meantime, why not view the pages with a working browser such as Netscape or Lynx?:-) )
What's next, ``Linux Does Dallas''? (Starring Linus Torvalds, Bob Young, several stuffed penguins, and a box of Red Hat CD's. Follow our studly duo around the state capital on their kinky exploits. Hear young women call out, ``Open Source me, baby!'' as they see the sexy pair.)
Are you using MSIE? I don't have a Windows machine, myself, and so I just made sure the site looks good under Netscape as well as Lynx. I was shopping in Akihabara last week and brought up my page at a computer store for fun, and was surprised at how _bad_ the colour choices look under MSIE! (MSIE doesn't support different <TD> and <TR> colours in tables?)
I'll think about possibly resolving this problem in the future.;-)
I can't believe I finally got my site mentioned in a SlashDot story.:^)
P.S. To the poster who mused that LinuxNinja was ``Bill Gates's crack team of asssassination experts'', I can happily say that we have nothing to do with (spit!) Microsoft.;-)
By posting this, I shall undoubtedly be subjected to the wrath of the many vocal zealots who make up a majority of the HURD community, but the server appears to be slashdotted.:-)

I just find PHP infinitely easier to develop with than Perl. Besides, PHP was built for web pages, not just practical extraction and reporting. ;-)
