I had to do one a little like that recently, being asked to rank 10 current used or potentially useful diagnostic software tools. The comparison was difficult though, because, for example, one of the options was for the sort of thing that very seldom comes up to begin with, but when it does come up, it's exactly the right tool for the job, and so indispensable in that situation. Another question cited the command line -- which is of course a broad, general class of useful tools in lots of contexts -- but then cited as examples a couple of diagnostics that are nearly useless in all contexts, like "uptime", while leaving out others like, say, "fsck" or "ping". Oh well, what can you do... -- Chris Devers _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
