[luau] Wayne, about WP

Wayne, I have about decided that the only way to get serious work done is to adapt to WP8 Linux; I have a million questions, perhaps we could meet sometime; for instance, where do you get a reasonable font. In WPWin I have been using Arial, very clear and simple; the closest in WP8 seems to be

Re: [luau] Throw Away Microsoft Word

we have had to purchase and install MSO in each and every one of our gd'd machines ... Word, as expensive as it is, has no use for us, except for openning .doc files. You might be interested in this link: http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/wd97vwr32.aspx Much cheaper than buying MS

Re: [luau] NFS problem

I hope it's not in the kernel, it sort of "breaks" NFS to match the SGI bug. Well actually I briefly looked at the patch, it's not automatic. A patched kernel still has to turn on the compatibiltiy mode with a kernel line option.(lh=1 or something like that) so I tried [mount -t nfs 192.

[luau] Throw Away Microsoft Word

Again, as I mentioned earlier, Microsoft Office achieved its ubiquity exactly because .doc files have been "ubiquitously" exchanged among computer users as though the .doc format were a "cyber currency". I used to (and still do) receive .doc files from my corporate clients, my co- and opposing

I have had extremely good luck with TDK. Every distro I have tried, (in the last 2 yrs or so), has detected it, and set it up correctly. Cliff R. Scott Belford wrote: What cd burners, cdr or cdrw, have any of you used successfully with Linux? I am of the belief that anything that I buy from
