Another thing: If you are still using Pico I *strongly* encourage you to put forth whatever effort it takes and learn vi. I currently have several employees who insist on using pico. I have provided them with vi tutorials from online and I am now cracking the whip on them to learn vi. If any of them asks to learn emacs instead that will be fine too but nobody has yet. Pico is a huge timewaster for any company. I would prefer they spend the time now to learn to use the right tools for the job and then reap the time savings later than spend all of their time arrowing around in pico. While I'm writing: Windows is "free" (as in beer) here. Just a block from my pad there is a shop with huge phonebook thick binders of listings of software titles usually consisting of a photocopy of the front of the CD case as well as CD cases of the more popular titles covering every inch of the walls. You order by number and someone runs to the storage and retrieves the CD. They have thousands of titles including all of the very pricey stuff you can possible imagine. They even have Fedora Core 3 on the wall, oddly enough. Easier than downloading and burning it if you don't have DSL I suppose. But the people in the shop don't know what Linux is. I think I saw a copy of an old Mandrake too. Didn't have CentOS 4.0 which I would have purchased instead of downloading and burning. Because Windows is free there is very little Linux activity here. This is making it difficult to find qualified people. However there is a strong open source presence here which I find very interesting. Everyone knows at least a little PHP. Nearly everyone I have interviewed has (or claims to have) used Apache, PHP, and MySQL on the Windows platform. It is amazing to me how popular these applications are on Windows. I always thought Linux was the primary platform for these applications but over here that is certainly not the case. Myself and a friend are organizing the Saigon Linux Users Group. First meeting is next weekend. - -- Tracy R Reed http://[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCX/Pv9PIYKZYVAq0RAuNrAJ0ff6HNRTFliRNrIiL31hMFBFBfIgCfRhll K9V6SkWD2o5w1rSq2A91+oE= =YCVw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
