from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom: "An ångström or aangstroem (the official transliteration), or angstrom (symbol Å) is a non-SI unit of length that is internationally recognized, equal to 0.1 nanometre (nm). It is sometimes used in expressing the sizes of atoms, lengths of chemical bonds and visible-light spectra, and dimensions of parts of integrated circuits. It is named after Anders Jonas Ångström." regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGUql3MkyGM64RGpERAi2LAJ9Ywf/6fqQvdYTHdt2b/9VKU4VO9QCbBMTV N9/dzj1Q00Bpz0HTFyLZJXg= =qNfI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
