LOL! I heard of one case when it found something like 274 problems and fixed them.
The heck of it was the computer was still working.... Sloooow... to be sure but still working with that many probs.

I'm back again, so what interesting is going on here tonite?

In 10 years of managing 20+ UNIX boxes I had 3 crashes; all caused by hardware failure. During that same 10 years I probably had 30+ hardware failures with only 3 crashes! Its because of the OS's stability and openness that UNIX has remained so viable after 40 years.AWB

It's good that you enjoy your class. Writing about topics that aren't interesting is very tedious. Writing about interesting topics can be fun.

I've not read either of the books you mentioned. Most of my reading about the war is in biographies. I don't think I've read more than one or two general histories of the war. I rarely read books with strongly religious themes. It's been a busy week, and I've not made as much progress on the TR book as I had hoped.

..it's sad because the Linux world has\had a window of opportunity while Microsoft is struggling with Longhorn\Vista.

But I do not see anyone surfacing to the top with distro that will catch on. Last month Ubuntu...etc.

[carlr]

Nothing much going on,still the quiet time of year at work.

If the weather holds,going to try and play golf tomorrow,just to say I did it.

Unix is great. If you have something like say a CD rom goes out.... just "un mount" it.... open the case of the box.. take the old one out... stick the new one in.... close the box and "mount" the new CD.... Never shut the system down... no problem. Great OS

[najida]

er,
well,
right this minute,
it's found 256 invalid paths.

When it finishes the scan part, what do I do?

[apackof2]

We've had great weather here, 40's & 50's

However we have some cold weather coming this weekend

[Americanwolfsbrother]

Watch SUN in the next couple of years. I think they will start rolling SUNOS out to the consumer market. They can flood the market cheaply as they are essentially just repackaging their business version. SUN has made huge strides with their GUI interface. Last year before I left the business I was playing with STARLAN or STAROFFICE I can't remember which, but it was liking using a Windows screen.AWB

[Fiddlstix]

Click on "next" and then click on "fix it" if I remember correctly.

[najida]

Do I just hit Fix it once (or for every file)

If so, I'll be here until 6am ;)

unmount /dev/device/xxxxxxxxx/cd_rom.

Man haven't typed that in a long time.AWB

[Fiddlstix]

Just once. It'll take care of everthing.

[carlr]

Same here,coming in Sunday or Monday.

Back to more normal winter weather.

It`s been nice though,just hope that we don't pay for it later.

[Fiddlstix]

LOL! Feels good don't it? hehe

[Revel]

"unmount /dev/device/xxxxxxxxx/cd_rom."

Hey!!! Now you did it. My CD Rom just disapeared.

[najida]

YEAH!

I'm done...I think.

[WalterSkinner]

I've used StarOffice myself.

Many of us around work seemed to agree that if a big outfit like Sun (or Novelle with SUSE) really got behind it something could happen.

Open source is a great idea but you need some hard nosed business people to make things happen in the marketplace.

[Fiddlstix]

Okay. You'll probably have to re boot. If all worked right the machine should work like a new one.
