While you like the old names for typing, I am having difficulties pronouncing them. How would you pronounce "/etc/networking/eth0"? Mind you, I am in Europe, and I am talking about remote support to naive users here, that would understand/Settings/Network/Ethernet.
Let alone the confusion between someone's "/usr" dir and ~.
I already find myself translating these paths into such terms while talking to people. For dirs to have meaningful, non-archaic names would make my life easier. And I am 'na take a look right now at that BogusLinux or what's its meaningful name.
My first Linux install was a Debian. Just the fact that I never had to reinstall it in three years says it all. It just runs, and maintenance is minimal.
There is a learning curve, but the people here make it sound like installing it is like halfway Linux From Scratch. Maybe it is, I don't know. Personally, I do not care. I care for its stability, I like that it is all free, and I think that it is great that it runs on so many different systems.
Migrating your documents step 2: find all your.wmv,.avi and.mpg and burn them to a cd/dvd
Have a friend look over what you did. Does the cd work on his computer?
Sounds like more fun for that friend than having to remove the Comet Cursor from the guy's box time and time again.
You are new around here, aren't you? You see, open source is all about choice. If I don't like the last digits of pi, I can simply fork
the project and make it end the way I want!
...as well as the feeling you get when you are completely locked out of all your accounts on a business trip to some Azerty land. It's warm nor fuzzy, I can tell you.
Btw, I eventually entered the system by trying the next user's pet's name for his account password...
> The operating system is not called "Stoned Beaver"
Quite right. Quote Richard Stallman:
If "the job" really were done, if there were nothing at stake except credit, perhaps it would be wiser to let the matter drop. But we are not in that position. To inspire people to do the work that needs to be done, we need to be recognized for what we have already done. Please help us, by calling the operating system GNU/Stoned Beaver.
On my web sites, I never write the \@ sign. It will be represented by a transparent png. No wait, it is a script that sends a gif to IE, and png otherwise:( .
Now if only I could get people to use the BCC field... I tried polite ways, I tried to educate people and I started flame wars. Usually, I end up being scrapped off people's contact list...
Stateful packet filtering is great for incoming traffic, but I would love to have an application based firewall for outgoing traffic on Linux. I do not think that Firestarter does this kind of thing, or?
So far in the last 30 days or so I had only one Nigerian email, and one chain letter from someone who actually knows me. No filter installed, and I've got the same address for over three years.
But it was just today that I thought the shit had hit the fan, as I got a strange email that inquired about DVDs from the television series Fame.
Of course, it was then that I remembered my own domainH^H^H^H^H^name.
So I got 22 real, personal emails today, 21 of which were cron outputs.

You must be new around here.
What these names stand for have to be explained again and again. Point was, I would appreciate self-explanatory names. I think OS X has it this way
/Users
/Resources
/Library
/Volumes
Nice!

All Debian guys, thank you!

I already hacked a perl version
It's just that and a razor
I didn't bother to actually enter the CD's from the download edition upon prompting, but urpmi indicated that everything you mentioned was available.
Actually, it was Bohemian Rapsody, by Queen, and not quite the same without the no-execution bit.
What will be next? A polkadot.org for ballroom dancing geeks?

They should really rename that license. I think there is already an open source project by that name.
Well, I guess it was worth those 48 hours of carefree wireless toying...

- Linus
- It's not Bruce then?
- No.
- That's gonna cause a little confusion. Do you mind if we call you Bruce?
Please, tell me more!

cheers, Joe.
OK, post your obligatory virii is not a word links now
A new story will be posted soon, but subscribers get enough time to think about rude stuff to write up, before 300+ posts are posted.
