I'd like to apologize for my long post to those that it annoyed and say that won't happen again this semester. (I usually only get in those moods once a semester ;) I'll try to stay on topic. This is the UUG, after all. And a moment of silence tomorrow will do us all good. ;) Knoppix r0x! I booted it up and it was able to identify my wireless card!!! i was SO amazed. (but didn't get it working, or at least as far as I could tell...Qu'elle dommage.) **emacs** is the one true editor, and it can turn on my t.v. and walk the dog if I want it to, slashdot, thinkgeek, and despair.com rule, flamewars make me laugh, post wherever you want, and jo mama's teeth are SO YELLOW, when she smiles, traffic yields. Hey, here's some linux talk for all y'all. I was wandering the halls of the physics building in search of my prof to appeal a pitiful classical mechanics midterm when I stumbled across a poster with the Aeneas' specs. Apparently, it is housed in the office across the hall from my prof. (He wasn't there, of course. Typical.) http://aeneas.ps.uci.edu/aeneas/ Not too shabby. It runs RedHat and Hamber (the project guru) is my quantum teacher. He works on Quantum gravity and HE (high energy) astro. He doesn't have a lot of funding, but he has one sweet computing lab. It just made me laugh that it was running RH, of all distros. Isn't that more or less one of the introductory distros? Don't you "graduate" to Debian or Gentoo or FreeBSD? Perplexing. But I guess if the shoe fits... -Danelle don't expect to hear from me for awhile. gotta get back in the groove... time to drop off the face of the planet for awhile ----------------------------- "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." ____________________________________________________________ FREE ADHD DVD or CD-Rom (your choice) - click here! http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;6413623;3807821;f?http://mocda2.com/1/c/563632/131726/311392/311392 AOL users go here: http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;6413623;3807821;f?http://mocda2.com/1/c/563632/131726/311392/311392 This offer applies to U.S. Residents Only ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
