also, the last time i saw the dos2unix package was in redhat 5.2. so you should keep the old ones. What's bad with tr, or sed, or awk?

no no no no.
MSDN, Visual this ++, MS developer kit, win2000, win NT - these are the
ceiling decorations, car decorations, cup holders and toys for kids.
Linux CD's are being passed around, if very old they are put in a nice box
and burried in a ceremony. :-)

It's much like giving away the rotten food in your refrigerator to the poor... They won't be able to enjoy it, and you've done no good to anyone. When a Linux newbie gets an old distribution, installs it only to find that it doesn't support his "new" video card (which is supported in the latest distribution), and doesn't have the programs he expects (mp3 player, star office, or who knows what) - *he* will make your linux CD into a car decoration, and will not go near Linux for 5 years!! :( In giving away old Linux distributions you're only doing a bad service to Linux publicity! If you want to do a friend a favor, copy him a new Linux CD (e.g., Mandrake 7, or even Redhat 6.1). Or, if you don't have one yourself, and order from cheapbytes (or something like it), order more than you'll need, and give the rest (or sell them cheaply) to friends. When I wanted Redhat 6.1 for myself, I ordered 4 copies from cheapbytes (when dividing also the shipping, each cost 20 shekels), and the day they arrived I had 6 orders from friends, so I had to make more copies. I also have an old copy of Redhat 6.0 (and an original Redhat 5.2, and an old Slackware on diskettes(!)), but I would never give them to my friends, maybe to a museum :) -- Nadav Har'El|Thursday, Jan 20 2000, 13 Shevat 5760 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Earth First!

Surely, you know about Axel Boldt's Free Unix Giveaway List, at http://visar.csustan.edu/giveaway.html Didn't see it until now, but yes! this is what I want to have! Israeli give away list. (perhaps with a more sofisticated database behind it) Common guys! you must have *some* books you don't use anymore, and that redhat 5.1 you don't use anymore. The guy who just learned linux using that RH5.1 you given away could be the one who'll write that driver you desperately need. And the guy who just borrowed your camel book, can tomorrow lend you a Java programming book, which is just what you need for your next project. Linux is about community.
