Gmail vs Pine
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Pine is my only email client since day one. When I am away, I ssh into my box for email. I first used TeraTERM+ttssh and switched to PuTTY in the last few years. I always resent the fact PuTTY store configure in registry.
PortaPuTTY is the answer for me. Thank you.

It's now getting near 2000. It's just so *ridiculous*. I gather that people primarily wanna to break the record. Be it the dollar value for a lump of $C_{12}$, or a hit counter.
I haven't been here long enough to see a 2000+ thread.

I don't see why there why there'll have no dispute among the ownership of the name like "icann", "freenic", "opennic".

I just can't tell whether The Sun newspaper or Sun Microsystems have more claim to the domain name "sun.tm". Oh, wait a minute. There exists many The Sun newspapers around the world.

Sadly, sometimes, something could be long, the others could be otherwise.
Many people who are on the bright side have already been using Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 "Woody" for some time by now. Having said that, I have made yet another installation of Woody with an fsn.hu (20020702) 4.3GB DVD. Haven't you try that out? Who need to wait until release.

Of course.

I feel safe if I have my email archived in mbox format.

There nothing better than it.

There is no doubt about it.

Geeks are more interested in talking about $C_{12}$ after all.

Please don't cite a big law that you don't understand. Air con is a heat pump. There is no work done, hence 2nd law doesn't apply. Well, it applies to the moving air bit, but not the heat pump bit.

On the contrast, I have tried only one distribution and have no desire to look any further.
A few questions for you:
(1) Why bother to download iso images when mail order CD-ROMs/DVDs are so cheap?
(2) Why ask only you Aussies when we have the Usenet? I find uk.comp.os.linux is among the highest s/n ratio.
If you really, really can't find a vendor, I can burn you a "fsn.hu pre-release (20020702)" DVD+RW at cost. I don't do CD-Rs.
