Wow what a great feature for us Non Linux versed, Windows point and click types. In response to the IP Flooding w/PMfirewall: Using LM 7.2, KDE, I get to my message log by just clicking on the Home Icon at the bottom of the screen, it brings up the file tree, click on Root, then click on Var, then click on Log, then click on messages Icon (the one with the pencil showing). it displays the message log right on the screen. Scroll to the bottom to see the latest entries. No more of that Linux terminal commands Mumbo Jumbo, back to good ole point and click. Works great for us Windows refugees hanging out on Linux, nothing beats a good ole Point and click. To Edit the log file While it is displayed on the screen: I Click on Edit at the top of the screen Click on Open with Advanced Editor and walah - i can edit the file. You can use any of the editors it lists but so far i only tried the Advance Option. Cool, this Linux stuff is getting better all the time.... ;-0 Now if I could just get my sound system to work... via point and click...
