As I said, I still consider myself as a newbie (or a very novice, take your favorite) :) 2 years can help learn a lot, but learning could be implementing with something like: learn(){ read(); understand(); memorize(); learn(); }

What is globbing, and which issues can cause wildcards?

For make, if he is a newbie only with linux, but not with development, you are wrong. Else, you are true, but we have no clue. I did not speak about using make to install softwares without packages. For ifup/down: I have no other choice for ifup with my eeepc, because when I change wifi network (actually, I change my /etc/network/interface each time, have not find/searched a good solution, without using graphical tools, which I do not need), or just enable/disable wifi, the network does not adapt itself to change, and so I must down/up it. I should like to learn how to use/customize acpi, but lacks of time is a strong enemy, and man did not helped me a lot. >> galculator > is very good, if you have a num pad where the "." is a ",", OTOH gcalctool > does completely display what you typed. The numpad is not a problem for me, honestly, I tend to use it very rarely... I prefer to use the top line of keybord :P And anyway, using ',' or '.'... most computers tools use '.' and all programming languages I know of too. And as I said, I am a developer, so I'm accustomed to that. But I did not found gcalttool before, I'll try it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
