That is the implication, as notepad is the primary tool for doing so in
windows.

None of which are near completion, would be considered anywhere near stable
and go completely against the grain of *nix style "security".

It's a hack-job on an antiquated and inadequate security model. Several Unix
vendors have implemented DAC on their platforms, but only for Government
jobs since the DOD requires it, but it's still a hack-job there, as well.

It's the design philosophy that counts, not the attempts of individuals
to correct the original poor design that matters.

I don't want to refer to the man page every time I need to issue a command,
it slows productivity.

How hard to understand is that?
Therefor, I need to remember a lot of commands.

I can't recall what the configuration for NT is. However, it's not as if
it's *hard* to do so.
2000 comes with admin only  access to system files, by default.

If you aren't on a device capable of displaying it, it is unnecessary
to view it in order to do whatever conversions you wanted to
do remotely.   If the remote box is running a web server you
could render to a jpeg and view with a browser - or send the
parts you want to a nearby printer.

An eps file is text, and there are good reasons for that.  But for what
you mean, you would typically send it to a postscript device - at
least I would.  But, I think these examples are contrived.  Why would
you try to do something you want to view remotely in graphics mode
through a non-graphic medium?  Just ftp the thing over and look
at it on your own box.

And your point is?   Lynx is very fast.   But again, if the point is to
look at pictures, do it directly from your own machine.  What's
the point of running someone else's Netscape.  I do sometimes
telnet over a slow link to a better-connected machine and run
lynx there when the object is to download files to the remote machine.
Is there an equivalent windows program to run remotely like that?

Starting with win2k or does this apply to NT as well?  How would I
add or remove an additional IP address to a network card through
the command line?

Mostly just that I don't know how to script 'visual' things that depend
on something that may or may not appear in a certain place and need
to be moved to some other unknown-till-you-see-it place.   Text
commands are much less sensitive to that sort of relative context.
When you do something once on a command line you can usually
paste the commands into a text file as you go.  The next time you
need to do the same thing you can bring up the file and cut and
paste the same commands into some other machine.  No scripting
language needed - just a windowing system capable of cut
and paste, and you don't have to worry about whether the target
supports the same version of a script language.   This technique
works with everything that allows telnet connections for configuration,
like routers and similar equipment, but so far I haven't been able
to do it to a windows box.

Subject: Focus in Linux seems a bit cooky
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 03:11:03 GMT

What am I doing wrong here or what am I miss understanding:

I click on an application, say a news client, do some work, then i click
on the terminal icon to get a command line.  Up pops the term window
front and center with a blinking cursor so I start typing.  But guess what
nothing appears in the term window cause the news client actually still
has focus behind the terminal window. What gives?

Or how about this.  I'm using an application and I use the menu to bring
up a preference dialog.  I need to type something into an edit field and 
even though it is the first control on the dialog I have to press tab to get
the cursor to show in it.  So now with the cursor displayed I start typing,
nothing shows up.  So I actually use the mouse and click in the edit box.
Ok, now I can actually type something in it.  

But wait, oops, I miss spelled a the directory path, so I use my mouse and
put the cursor on the letter I transposed, and mose the mouse cursor to the
side (off the dialog) and try to edit the error, but nothing is happening.  I
finally manage to get this to work by moving my mouse cursor just a little
bit to the side of the place I'm editing and voila! it works....now this doesn't
happen all the time it happens intermittantly and it seems to affect a lot of
different applications not just the same ones.  

What is up with this!?!  I feel like an idiot...!

Is this the way things are suppose to work?  Is this a window manager problem?

FYI,  I'm using KDE at work and Helix Gnome at home.

So does MacOS, BeOS, Amiga (I believe) and many other OSes. Win9x is
not alone in this, and MS certainly didn't set a precedent when designing
this single-user system that has many similar flaws as any other single-user
system.

In fact, MS has taken steps to make this single-user system as good as possible
in Windows Me by including S.F.P. which no other single-user system in this
category has.

We could debate the failings of single-user systems all day. I agree Win9x
sucks, WinMe is just the best of a sucky line of OSes, no one is debating this.

But lets compare apples to apples.

> Linux doesn't unless you are root.

Exactly. Trust me, you REALLY don't want to attempt to compare Linux to
Win9x, because then you are admitting that Linux serves in the same
category(ies)
as Win9x, which you certainly do not want to do.

<SNIP: more discussion as to why security is better than single-user>

Preaching to the choir =)

It's also poignant to note that this takes only a few minutes on a large
drive as opposed to the lengthy and seemingly unending fsck on a large
ext2 drive. The journaling of NTFS facilitates a speedy recovery.

You still have to do that to protect the consistency of the directories

Maybe you do have to remember just that one or "man man"
in case you forget the option.

The left side is no harder to think of than the right side, and

man -k will find them.

Generally 'program.conf' where 'program' is the thing you want
to change, but the man page tells you.   Most of those files
are commented, unlike the registry, and most of the programs
involved will take an alternate file as a command line option
if you want to test your changes with another instance  before
clobbering the program running in production.

> You've a *lot* to learn before you can "make it up as you go along"

Sometimes you need to know how to read a man page.  Where do
you find the equivalent concise, fairly complete reference for
everything under windows without having to wade through an
intermingled tutorial about all the stuff you don't want to change?

Every script needs a shortcut?  That's bad.

I don't want icons, I want to connect them with pipes so

None of that needs special case handling under unix/linux.

The OS for people who think that a hundred is not a large number of
programs.  Or maybe a thousand - but I don't want to have to make a

You don't need to "issue commands", for the most part. Redhat ships with 
a 'control panel' as far back as 4.x.
