Happy Holidays,

I have a 2 part question and as always I'd appreciate any and all
information!

1:      In my .bash_profile I would like to initiate X everytime I login
        at the console but not when logging in remotely.  I experience 2 
        problems.

        1.  When I merely enter "startx" in .bash_profile I receive a
            short delay, then all my usual X stuff but with an error
            appearing in every xterm.

        X: you are not authorised to run X server!

        2.  Secondly, I wish to start the Xserver only when at my computer
            so I tried to enter this into my .bash_profile and I can't get
            it to work.  What is wrong with it?

        if [ "$TERM" = "console" ]; then
                "startx -- -bpp 16"
        fi

2:      I am also requesting suggestions for a study guide/brain candy
        type book on TCP/IP networking.  If any of the Linux/*nix gurus or
        senior system administrators would make a suggestion I'd appreciate
        it.

Thanks in advance,

Ian
