RTFM--read the fine material available

NFTFAH--not for the faint at heart
LLaP -- Linux lovers are Perfect
FUD -- Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
BSOD -- Blue Screen of Death, a sometimes occurrence in one of the OSes 
from the Dark Side

OS -- Operating System

Dark Side -- Non-free software, software patents, DMCA and other 
fictions to make lawyers and businessmen rich from the work of software 
developers.

DMCA -- Digital Millenium Copyright Act--a 1998 U.S. Law that greatly 
extends copyright protection (into some areas traditionally occupied by 
fair use) and makes web site hosts potentially responsible as 
co-infringers for sites that violate copyright.  There is a belief that 
it violates free speech and due process and there are already suits 
against it.

UCITA -- A hundred-plus page proposed law before many state legislatures 
and passed by a few which

1) Allows a company to charge high interest and apply recurring charges 
to your credit card used over the internet without full disclosure, and 
to bill any reissued cards.

2)  Makes some strictures on how software companies may behave in the 
matter of warranties and gives their license agreements the full force 
and effect of law, thereby permitting them to prohibit reverse 
engineering to make a data import program from any competing proprietary 
or free software (basically allowing the vendor to lock all data you 
make with his programs to his programs alone in perpetuity.)

 I did. Found a fix, by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf by adding two
 zero's to the limit.
 Not sure what IIRC is.
 Thanks.
