the msttcorefonts package is an old one, which was licensed in a way that allowed people to install it anywhere. its not 'stolen from a windows install'. whats wrong with bitsteam vera sans anyway?
problem is, it could validate perfectly, but follow IE's box model, for example. IE doesn't follow the w3c box model (iirc, ie's box model is margin+padding+stuff+padding+margin=width whereas the real box model is stuff=width)
the us patent expired recently afaik. ive not come across a distro that didn't support gifs and i currently use debian (ive used mandrake, redhat, debian, gentoo and slackware).
my girlfriend uses debian etch and thinks its great
most people will make binary packages themselves to install on the sever, so its possible to install and uninstall easily. its also safer than keeping gcc on your server.
im not new to *nix, ive been using linux for about 3 years now, that manpage looks like its just info about an include file and i dont think ive ever come across that. i'l gander at that though, thanks.
ive been meaning to set a limit on processes for a while (after my friend showed me that fork bomb)
is there a way to set ulimit without writing code? here's man ulimit from debian etch:
SYNOPSIS
#include
long ulimit(int cmd, long newlimit);
DESCRIPTION
Warning: This routine is obsolete. The include file is no longer provided by glibc. Use getrlimit(2), setrlimit(2) and
sysconf(3) instead. For the shell command ulimit, see bash(1).
because the user has to have the private key and the password. your protected if your friends computer gets compromised (private key no good on its own) and your safe from random people trying to brute force your password.
obviously this wont protect your friends computer getting compromised, then the attacker brute forcing the password for the private key.
there was at least one (january this year), i have no idea of the details though as i did a quick google search - maybe somebody more knowledgeable than me can help you with this.
some people recommend sudo over su in a multiuser environment, as you can say "(only dave and jim can log in as root) (boris can run 'hisscript.sh" as root, but thats it)", whereas with su, everybody is equal.
another area it excels is if you want to let some users run some commands, without them having to even know the root password, which i recon is a good thing (look into the NOPASSWD option of sudoers.conf).
just put a password on the key, that way he has to have the private key and the password for that private key:
sh-3.00$ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa): Could not create directory '/home/username/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [type password here]
you can set sudo to only allow certain users to run certain commands, with or without passwords. you could make a rule in sudoers.conf to allow your 'backup' user to run 'backup.sh' as root without a password and run everything else as 'backup' (no permissions account)
what kind of ecmascript? ive never had a problem with any emcascript ive written not working in opera (i use opera as my main browser and test in opera konqueror firefox lynx and ie, in that order)
its common now for root login by gdm to be disabled. although what i did see in suse last time i tried it was yast set to roots display manager - very nice.
hmmm, the site im working on at work at the moment (one man job so i control exactly whats going on) works perfectly in all the browsers ive tested on so far (konqueror, opera, firefox, IE6, lynx). im downloading ie5.5 and ie5 overnight (using ies4linux). didn't really take me any extra effort and my site is more accessible (user defined stylesheets, user's font preferences, etc)

the closest thing we have is the magna carta (1266AD, iirc). i dont think it contains any such provisions
i agree, the openbsd project make some great software (not just for openbsd either).
see kdialog --help for the popups (it has much, much more than popups, such as file browser, progressbar, handled by dcop, etc)

no. sarge is stable, etch is testing.
the version names are all from toy story, and sid is the kid that always broke the toys - therefore, sid will always be unstable.
packages from unstable trickle down into testing, which eventually get released all in one go to stable (like sarge did recently).
for javascript, use conditional comments to set javascript variables for the version number if ie, or not ie. you cant go wrong that way.
most people will make binary packages themselves to install on the sever, so its possible to install and uninstall easily. its also safer than keeping gcc on your server.
google for "conditional comments" they are so, so useful.
only IE parses them and you can say stuff like if using ie version > 7 run javascript x, else run js y
or you can make an ie_hacks.css stylesheet which applies to ie6 and lower, and do whatever needs to be done for ie7
you have gcc installed on your servers? or do you mean slackware style .tgz packages?
it'l be fixed in our shiney new win 95! honest!
thats gettings fixed in 95 osr2
" " " " 98
etc
ec
longhorn will be nothing more than an incremental improvement, maybe not even that

chmod 700 `which hisscript.sh`
oh rite, i knew 'wheel' had something to do with being root, just didn't know what.

when xp is eol'd, there's a perfect oportunity for lots of people to make the switch to linux, *bsd, whatever
