Are these problems by chance related to playing CDs super-fast, ie.
sounding like a good ol' (33rpm) vinyl LP on 45rpm? Just curious,
because it happens to me sometimes ...

MySQL and Postgres are the two most popular opensource DBs that run on
linux. Oracle 8 also runs under linux but isn't opensource and costs
money for non-personal use. I think private, non-commercial use is
free, or did I get that wrong?
Also there are spreadsheet databases available as well, Applix,
StarOffice and (I think) Corel have or will have spreadsheets with
this functionality.

Unless you are compiling as root, the compiler should not be able to
create a device file, so it's unlikely that this is a compiler error.
Have you run fsck recently? Does it report errors? The first thing I
would suspect would be a bad disk. Do you have another physical disk
on this system? Could you move the project there and see if you have
the same problems?

normal sequence of events:
client server
open connection
request document
send document
close connection
however, because you're using a here document, which can't pause and wait
for data, you're getting
open connection
request document
close connection
oops! nowhere to send data!

Freedos != msdos
If you want msdos, you need to install it on your dosemu partition.
By the way, the dosemu that came with my RH6 was broken. It would hang
when i tried to access the A: drive. you can either step down to a stable
.98 version, or install a newer beta .99 version for full functionality.

I wondered the same thing, then I discovered (I don't remember how) the
"halt" command. Just say,
halt
and it will prompt for a password (presumably the root password but I
use the same password for all accounts) and shut down.

Subject: Happy hacking keyboard, huh?
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just a less-than-.02-thought:
There is this "Linux-fan oriented" keyboard with a lot of positive
reviews which appeared earlier in this newsgroup..
I was thinking for a while about those nice Kinesis keyboards, but
they seem too expensive (I do not type that much to make a $200
investment, but do email me if you know where to get one for under
$100)... Paying around $60 for a keyboard which looks more like that
of a notebook and is worthless since it is not going to change the
position of hands (and which is just SMALLER!!) definitely seems
excessive.
There is nothing wrong with having extra keys on a keyboard, and one
could even use them properly; I know there are quite a few folks who
already adjusted their keyboards... So I made a few changes myself;
I am posting them just in case someone might want to do something
similar, or instead tell me a few more hints..
Changes to the keypad:
===== ===== ===== ===== NumLock is not changed (what is it??)
|NUM| | / | | * | | # | For making even more detalied comments...
===== ===== ===== ===== (/, * are the standard convention)
===== ===== ===== =====
| ) | | ( | | $ | | | For $()-things and ^() things (Makefile, Maple)
===== ===== ===== | ^ |
===== ===== ===== | |
| } | | { | | $ | | | For ${}-things (sh) and ^{}, _{} (TeX)
===== ===== ===== ===== (there is an underscore under "^")
===== ===== ===== | |
| > | | < | |???| | | For HTML's weird <>
=========== ===== | |
=========== ===== | _ |
| ??? | |???| | |
=========== ===== =====
The abnormal order of all brackets simplifies typing; the choice of
lines for (), {}, <> is suggested by their original positions
What would be good for those three ??? keys? []?..
Best,
a.
P.S. For people like myself: there are many ways to make this work,
here is one: create the file .xmodmap.keypad like below:
keycode 112 = slash
keycode 63 = asterisk
keycode 82 = numbersign
keycode 79 = parenright
keycode 80 = parenleft
keycode 81 = dollar
keycode 83 = braceright
keycode 84 = braceleft
keycode 85 = dollar
keycode 86 = asciicircum
keycode 87 = greater
keycode 88 = less
keycode 89 = question
keycode 90 = question
keycode 91 = question
keycode 108 = underscore
and say xmodmap .xmodmap.keypard
or add
if [ "$DISPLAY" == ":0.0" ]; then xmodmap .xmodmap.keypad; fi
to your .bashrc
Or maybe just xmodmap .xmodmap.keypad to your .xinitrc...
To get the keycode<->key correspondence, start xev and press
the keys...

Hi.
In fact, Linux has a certain history _before_ Linux. The whole was
started by Richard Stallman, who believed in free software (we're
talking of freedom, not money). So, he founded de Free Software
Foundation and created de GNU Proyect. They had almost an operating
system (except the kernel) when Linux, a free clone of Unix appeared,
so they decided to use it (though they still work in their own modular
OS, GNU/Hurd, and there has been an announcement about Debian
GNU/Hurd).
Afterwards distributions came. Perhaps you have heard or RedHat,
Caldera, Debian, etc. In a distro you get all the software you need
(now Debian includes over 2,900 packages, from editors or games to
astronomical data -- Potato --). RedHat or Caldera are commercial
companies; Debian is an all-volunteer effort, so in RedHat there's a
clear organization which says how to build the distribution, and in
Debian a well-established set of policies rules how to become a
developer and build deb packages.
To be short:
The software itself is written by programmers all over the world, the
distributions make this huge amount of programs coherent.
To know more about it:

To be more specific: On my Solaris machines under /etc/default there is
a file called login. I can do a simple edit to either allow a person
to login remotely as root, or to restrict root login. I've looked on
my Linux machine, but I don't see any such file. I was asking more out
of curiousity than for any other reason.

Well you could use that font, but what you're probably looking for
are the fixed-width fonts, which are near the end of the xlsfonts
output. Do xlsfonts | less and then /12x24 to find them.
Alternatively, do Ctrl right-mouseclick in an xterm and you should
get a menu of possible sizes. Find the one you like and do
xrdb -query | grep VT100.font
to find which font it is.
