    These are good ones. May I suggest quitting caffeine to the slashdotters? I have. Water starts to taste pretty nice after a while and without all the headaches, sugar and expense. SDL is great fun. And I've been MS-free at home for quite a long time. Not just for the l33tness factor, but also because I want to get work done at home.

    Yes. More than in class.

    Yes. I've been using Linux at home since I installed Red Hat 5.2 long ago.

    In Perl, it's

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    print "hello world\n";

    Ok, so that one was easy.

    In awk,

    {print "hello world"}

    seems to give the desired effect if you give it some input, but I don't know much about awk so I don't know if that's normal or not.

    I'm only 23 and I will only have an Associates in Software, Applications and Programming (due to time and money constraints) in 3 months, but so far I've had a horrible time trying to get anybody to respond to my resume.

    I've tried both of those. Moving a window across the screen feels like hauling around a slab of granite due to the shaped borders. Try the same thing in IceWM and it's nice and smooth and fast.

    I could probably live with the slowness, but the complete lack of features really turned me off.

  4. The only thing left out... on A Newbie's Guide To A Lo-Fat Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Is how to change your default window manager and stop GNOME from loading etc. These things are probably covered elsewhere, but they would have been appropriate here. I would like to prevent GNOME from starting up on my RedHat box, and to add a few things to my X startup (xmodmap) but I don't use that machine often enough to bother figuring out how. I know how to change my setup on Debian (my main machine) by editing .xsession, but on my RedHat box I have no clue.

    Though in some cases, this is an interesting feature. I get to see the dirt trails around my town I used to ride my bike on, where there are now mass-produced neighborhoods.
