I have several different logins to my system. I have a desktop/window manager environment for JUST DOING. It works, it's already setup and tweaked to my liking, I think of nothing when I login to that account - I just DO, I just PRINT, I just COMPOSE or do what I want for enjoyment or entertainment or whatever. I have another login for testing/tweaking/breaking fixing. Needs no explaining. I have yet another account for doing support work for my clients and for administering my system. I have yet another account for TEST security and generally mucking around. My level of thinking depends on what login I use (or SU to). My applications all work, my "fave" desktop is setup and runs without hassle, it's ergonomically tweaked to my particular liking and my particular "mood" of computing. It's clean, it shows me only the information I want to know/need to know. I get up at 4 a.m. every day to start my work day. I don't "think" until the kids are in school (after 9 a.m.). I don't want to bother with downloading virus definitions, running virus scans, rebooting, checking for spyware, running registry checks and checking log files to see what's been beating at my firewall. The computer stays live 24/7 and I hate rebooting unless I either have to, or the electricity cuts out. I refuse to use WinXP or Win2k any more because there's always too much shit to deal with when I simply want to do email and surf. I certainly don't like "the world" knowing what I'm doing when I'm either doing my email or surfing. Yet another reason to live in my happy linux world. If I have to "think" about something, then it's done for me, by me, and for a reason. Otherwise, as my wife is learning, things can run more than smoothly, and can be simpler "than a Mac" if the need is there. She REFUSES to think about what she's doing when she's plugging away at things - and now that she's had a taste, she reckons it's just like OSX, only that she can configure things moreso per HER tastes. She IS NOT computer literate, mind you. -- Sun Jun 8 13:35:00 EST 2003 13:35:00 up 23:26, 3 users, load average: 0.30, 0.09, 0.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * momentum, n.: What you give a person when they are going away.
