Re: [gentoo-user] showing files in numerical order

Re: [gentoo-user] showing files in numerical order

You may be surprised, but this is the proper numerical order - the way Windows Explorer normally does it. Only the 1st digit is taken into account as you noticed. Care to try renaming the images to "image_xxx"? Perhaps that helps. Best regards, Andy On 20 October 2016 at 14:25, Philip Webb

Re: [gentoo-user] several global use flags should be local

I'm actually surprised those USE flags are not local. Except for 3dfx, I have never seen them. And yes, I agree, this is a topic for gentoo-dev. Can someone move it there somehow? Best regards, Andy On 9 October 2016 at 23:28, Mike Gilbert wrote: > On Sun, Oct 9, 2016 at

Re: [gentoo-user] Skype users

I am rather thankful that you did this and at the same time surprised Microsoft decided to work on a dedicated Skype client for Linux. Since the GNU/Linux community is responsive, we might make considerable contribution to troubleshooting the client. I will probably give it a go to see how it
