Linux and X Window

Look ma! No crutches! No training wheels!

Of course, Linux offers desktops of staggering complexity, but I prefer
the spartan and the minimalistic. Here we see only three virtual
terminals, and using these I can be much more productive than any
GUI jockey in the world.

Actually, this image represents only 1/4 of the total desktop real
estate. Using X Window one can define areas up to 16x what is seen
here, but I do not require such vastness.

Try that with Micro$oft Windoze!

Hi Jeff,

when you want to switch to Linux you should take a look at Mandriva
Linux (theres a Live-CD named Mandriva Linux One, has also a Installer
to make a bootable USB-Memory Stick). The "draktools" (Menubased
Configuration for Graphic-Card, Sound, Printer, Fax, Firewall,
FTP-Server etc) are really comfortable and easy to understand. The
Hardware-Recognition is slightly better than the HW-Recognition of Ubuntu.

Downside is that the Packages (Programms, Libs etc) arent always the
newest, but therefore really stable and reliable.

As News-Reader for Mass-Download Binary Newsgroups i highly recommend
"Pan" which handles Multipart-Binaries and yenc Files, and for writing
to Newsgroups Thunderbird mainly because i dont like the writing Editor
in Pan

The GUI (KDE4, Gnome etc) should suit your Hardware, on an old AMD
Athlon 2Ghz i wouldnt recommend KDE4 or Gnome but LXDE or if you want a
lightweight but highly stylish Desktop "Enlightment" (E17).

Regards
Jens

As you well know, there are some of us out here in the wasteland.


And there are even some of us who are not afraid of the occasional sortie
over the Dark Side (though personally I like to keep one eye on my own side
of the lines).

A normal desktop will be resumed at the end of the cricket season.


For those playing at home, it's a bad one for Australia, we're getting
our
arses handed to us.

What is this?
Looks like som Hogwarts Game-Sheme






Those are all the usual cricket field placings (for a right-handed batsman)


Wow, thanks!

Not just any RNAS - it's Rutland of Jutland returning to Engadine, reportedly
at the conclusion of his famous mission (that's the 1916 one, not the 'secret
agent for Japan' one.

Which reminds me, I've got a set of RNAS scans somewhere. I'll see if I can
find them.
