Howdie, I have been using OpenBSD for a long time, and like it on servers. However I needed to test using Linux and am trying to work with Mandrake 9.1. It's very impressive, easy to be productive doing office work and the usual tasks. I also really like the smart security levels, and how easy it is to tweak them for certain users.
On a side note, of course I am used to using route and ifconfig to set up interfaces. I have worked briefly from Red Hat and quite a while Mandrake on a laptop, so I remember some things about /etc/sysconfig. I discovered in search of documentation that man /etc/hosts will basically dump /etc/hosts to stdout. Also man /path/file will dump file to stdout. Isn't this a really bad idea? Please reply to me off list as I am not subscribed right now (trying to get rid of spams and flooding inbox). Sorry, I guess the question is is there any way to change the default behavior with a bash configuration alias or something? I really do like this software and want to get familiar with it. No one cares but I was shocked when the install rewrote my mbr without prompting! On x86 of course. Thanks for any thoughts, Lincoln
