Re: Crosswords for Linux

There were no numbers for the squares and I couldn't see how to enter words. There're no numbers, that's right. I don't know enough Javascript to put them, I've just adapted the algorithm from Manolo Toscano's one. To enter the words, just choose them from the selection boxes. To send me words, save the page of submitting in a file, and send it to me. If you want to introduce words in a already done, then write me saying what line and what word. Sorry for the numbers, I just do them by eye. But I'll include help facilities. I'll improve the help stuff. I need volunteers for mirroring and public relationships( setting mailing list, announcements to linux groups)... BTW: Is there anyway to include a library of Javascript crosswords in a Debian System, as a kind of 'info', I mean, all the crosswords collected should be in the distribution.They're only 5 kb each in size, and quite 'curious', they teach things.

Crosswords for Linux
Have you ever been looking for any command that does anything? Have you ever wondered what X4kge means? Do you know what 'apropos' is ? Well, I've decided to compile lots and lots of information, so people cand find what they're looking for , and they can learn without too much problem. How? Doing croswords. Yeah, the crosswords will be useful for creating a dictionary of terms and programs. And people will learn easily. Where ? http://www.ctv.es/USERS/irmina/cruo/cruolinux1.htm I've already done one. I'm interesting in crosswords for python, gimp and Latex, too. In the sacred name of the penguin , forgive me this kind of spamming. Regards/Saludos Manolo
consdiag v 1.0 released
hello, I've just finished my project consdiag, it can be found in http://www.ctv.es/USERS/irmina/texpython.htm It's a utility that makes Rumbaugh OO boxes in LaTeX, something pretty useful for many computer science students. I do want to several things: - Please tell me if this utility is also useful for you - if so tell me how to debianize it , or much better, debianize it for me, although I'm not very sure of the process, because it's not a C program , just interpreted python code , with a bit of documentation - please, tell me if you can include it in the debian CDROM, I'd be greatly honoured ! Please, if you know any other utility of this kind tell me, I need them ! Data: I currently run RH 4.2 , with lots of libraries of Debian 2.0 Hamm , because gimp required them. It'd be great if a REDHAT2DEBIAN-HOWTO existed. Linux ( Unix ) systems are not as Winblows systems, they are stable for a long time, so it doesn't make sense to remove existing distributions to install a new one, that's not the spirit of UNIX. I don't like RH, but that doesn't mean to throw overboard all my Linux system and spend three weeks retuning all my system. I prefer to discover new things every day, rather than rediscover the discovered. Please reply me directly, I'm not currently in this list, ..., the volume is too high for my phone bills.

So strong that nothing will kill it. 2) Make coffee, and stay up drinking it and hacking at linux until you can no longer clearly see your monitor. Usually this is at about 4-5am. 3) If something doesn't work, forget about it for the time being and move on to something else. If you allow yourself to get lost in linux, it's quite enjoyable. Just wander through your system and check out anything that looks interesting. Read...Read...Read...anything related to linux that you can get your hands on. 4) I've always found it helpful to keep in mind that if something isn't working...most of the time it's your fault.

I can't find where it's coming from /etc/motd, of course. You can put what ever you want there. that was the first place i looked, but it's not where the GNU comes from :) but bob pointed to /etc/issue, where it did. What's so offensive about GNU/Linux? The politics of it :) The general idea behind it is something like The contributions of GNU are almost/as/more important than linux, which is just the kernel, and GNU should get credit; there would be no system without gnu, etc. frankly, I prefer the BSD utilities, and dislike nearly everything all of the gnu changes: excessively long option names, info/hostility to man, etc. And i generally prefer the way the bsd versions operate on those where i've noticed a difference. But it comes down to GNU/Linux being a political statement, and one that I disagree with. I don't like GNU either. They're unnecessary complex most of the times, and they're too worried about imposing their own standards to others. Scheme-Guile, Lisp -elisp , Linux- Hurd. And their copyright notice is awful! But... I use emacs, and other nice GNUish software everyday :)).

Wrong configuration of tkinter in python
