Actually, that's not true anymore. "Classic vi" had no built-in help, but
vim and elvis both do--you can access it by typing ":help".

I try to extract some files from a Mac floppy that's about 7 years old.
It says 1.4MB , and I can 'dd if=/dev/fd0 ...' --I can roughly see the
stuff I want in the 1.4MB dump, but it's a mess.
I tried to mount using several /dev/fd* but always bumped out not knowing
the type (-t) . I looked at

Specifically, to work out what larry is saying, let's go thru
a example that I have often used.
Suppose that I want to have a network service that creates fortune
quotes. Everytime I connect to the port, I get a new quote.
There already exists a program that generates quotes, it is
called for
Jeff is asking about a program called inetd which handles access
control for network connections to local programs, it's useful if you
have a local program which for some reason needs to be network
accessible.
in other words it's used to "wrap" tcp connections in a layer of
security and access con

RSI = Repetetive Stress Injury
Basically he is saying that if you use emacs you will get
carpal tunnel and if you use another editor you won't.
It's pure bullshit. Any editor can give you RSI. I've been
using emacs continuously since about 1980. I know folks who
got RSI without using emacs. YM

I received 10 of these in the mail the other day and thought
I'd give the LiveCD a spin. No go: it appears to detect firewire

The biggest laptop drives available are only 100GB and I'm not
sure those are available in 7200RPM.
As for running the mini off an external hard drive it begins to
defeat the purpose of such a small wonder.

I think I read an article in Linux Journal about the Linux Firewall
introduced in 2.4 that talked about doing this. I think doing
this at the firewall level would be the best approach because
it would have lower overhead than any other approach.
