The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I wouldn't recommend it to someone not already familiar with some flavor of Unix.

I don't know squat about unix. But still, if I set it up on a spare HD it'll give me something to play with...you know...satisfy my inner geek. :)

Sun sells a version of Solaris which runs on PCs, you can order it from their website at www.sun.com. IIRC it costs $20 or $25. But, as Lil'freeper said, I wouldn't recommend it to someone not already familiar with some flavor of Unix.

Thanks for the info, Bear. Someday I'd like to set up a Unix box of some sort, just to goof around with. I've worked with Solaris before, but I don't know how to do much beyond the basic getting around sort of stuff...the sort of commands they'd teach you in Unix 101, I guess! Basic administration, but not much more.

I'd still have a more or less working watch for time-telling purposes.

Did not know that! Thanks for the info.

Played with Solaris in college- my dept. had a ton of Sun machines. We crunched star spectra with them. (Sun? Star? Solaris? Get it? *doofy geek laugh* ) I especially liked the multiple desktops (that one of the Linuxs ripped- can't remember which one...). Now I play on SGIs running Irix 6.something. I'm not an admin- and though our sys-dude keeps trying to recruit me, I never want to be. Just a data-crunching user who likes it when the machines work.

Bye all!

I'm off to the dentist. ;)

There's still plenty of chicken soup left over and a couple dozen biscuits. Help yourself!

If I am in VA, which I am sometimes, I will show up. I still have a quart jar of peach shine, that I got for Christmas, that I haven't drunk yet.
