Well, a quick google search turns up 'apm -s', but lo

exp:~% which apm
apm not found

Grrrr!!!!

Why can't there be a Linux distro that's:
a) complete but not bloated
b) secure by default
c) well documented
d) easy to install
e) easy to use
f) easy to modify
g) up to date
h) stable

Why can't some GNU freak just bite the bullet and distribute a real,
complete GNU/Linux system, document it, and keep it up to date?
IMO, the answer is that GNU folk like to hide behind the guise of
"flexibility" or "customization".  BS.  There is no GNU/Linux system,
there are a bunch of packages that may or may not work together on any
given day.  Why do you think Debian only has stable releases every
20 months?

I honestly believe that if RMS and Linus would have settled their
differences and decided to make one true system, M$ would have
been out of business long ago.
