1. I never realized that 'xkill' could pass the appropriate signals through a remote Xwindows connection, which in my case was SSH-tunnelled. If anyone has explored this or knows more, I'm very curious, about the security implications, for instance; what can you tell me? Example: you log your buddy into their remote account as they borrow your system momentarily, they do their stuff, but could easily (accidentally or otherwise) kill anything on your desktop, or possibly the entire session(?). I know they could close anything, having physical access, but I feel like I'm not getting the whole picture.
2. File handle review: open an editor on a file, suspend that, move the file or delete it, resume and quit the edit. Does the move or delete hold onto the previously-opened filehandle, and wait (in the background, as the mv or rm appear to return true) with its operation queued until the release from the edit? 3. How do you (subjectively) weigh the benefits of a mini-itx system for a home entertainment PC, versus a mini-P4? Obviously, the P4 sucks more power and can have far more processing power -- and can also be made nearly as quiet. The mobo/cpu combo's I'm looking at cost about the same... I'm just looking for the variety of people's opinions here, offer whatever you care to. Thanks folks, see y'all some other Thursday eve!
