I installed KDE, used KPPP which looks very similar to Windows Dialup

Are there any powerful general-purpose statistics packages for Linux? I'm

to be able to use my Linux machine for those tasks. I can't find any

I've got a celeron 300a running on a i440BX board at 100MHz and linux
2.2.1 with no problems. Uptime @30 days now. Pick a decent board (abit

(2.2). Haven't heard of _any_ problems with Celeron 300a's being
overclocked at all.
And yes it matches/outperforms my PII-450(deschutes core) pc (that box has

Why the United States is better than:
Finland: to friggin cold there (although the girls are really really
cute... and the programmers there ain't too bad either)
Japan: Way too crowded. Too many tidal waves... and getting stomped by
Godzilla on a regular basis must really suck as well ( although the
girls there are really really cute, and they make pretty good cars and
electronic stuff)
South Africa: Too darned hot, too many wild animals, and let's not
forget about the Great White sharks.... (although the girls there are
really really cute, and they throw some killer concerts there)
Argentina: Too close to the south pole... the seasons are backwards...
too many trees, too much wildlife...(although the girls there are
really really cute, and there are lots of pretty tropical fish)
Australia: Too much beach front property... too close to the south
pole (see above), everyone calls you mate (buncha perverts!) and they
are always throwing seafood at dolls (another shrimp on Barbie? kinky,
folks)(although the girls there are really really cute, and rugby
kicks ass!)
New Zealand: Too many darned sheep...not urbanized enough...head
hunters all over the place...(although the girls there are really
really cute, and lamb chops cooked right are great...)
Canada: Socialized everything, you pay too much for cigarettes, all
the beer is in green bottles, they are a colony of the UK, only have 4
months of non-winter, and they are in the way of Alaska (although the
girls there are really really cute (I married one), you nevre have to
worry about health care, and as long as you don't piss off a moose,
has some of the prettiest hiking country I have ever been in)
I have been (with the greatest of luck and fortune) to all of the
above places, and, while they all have their quirks (as does the US of
A) they do NOT live up to their stereo-types, just as most Americans
don't live up to theirs...
If I only had the time, space, and inclination to tell you all what
they (the rest of the world) think about us (USA) and how badly we are
stereo-typed, maybe this chest thumping crap would quit...
Because all it does is prove the stereo-types to be correct...

I'd use this except that every time I try to connect to a remote file.
(ie. via the internet) I get 'WARNING:cannot access file!'
Before you ask, I don't use a proxy as a rule, and yes I have 2 DNS

Is there a config file? Should it be anywhere in partiular?
There isn't one in my home directory, that's for sure.

I use FTP Software's XOnnet32 (www.ftp.com) to run xterms on my Windows box,
which is connected to my Linux box over a 10BaseT ethernet. It is very
similar to Exceed, which I have also used. You can download a full-featured
30-day trial of XOnnet32 from FTP's website.
BTW, you don't need Samba on the linux box to do this. All you need is the
TCP/IP connectivity.

I can see how it might be considered a joke but no, I wasn't joking.
I imagine that the question is quite easy for the right sort of
person: someone who knows the x86 instruction set and architecture
well (e.g. someone who has had to write assembler instructions for
kernel scheduler)
While there are many bright minds who don't work on the kernel and
therefore don't know the answer to my question that doesn't mean that
the answer isn't easy --- it is just obscure.
Sorry for the confusion, no doubt caused by my idiosyncratic world
view.

I bought a Crystallizer TidalWave 128 sound card for my

If I'm not mistaken it uses a different Crystal

For 2.0.x kernel's only finds up to 1023 MB, (the kernel won't boot if
more than that!!)
for 2.2.x kernel's only finds up to 2GB.
Sorely limited if you ask me. I have HP-UX and SOLARIS boxes that are
limited to
4GB or 2TB respectively.
Linux needs to move to 64 bit!!

But not all white males get any noblesse. Just the oblige part,

Kernels 2.0.36 and higher should automatically find the extra RAM.
Mine did when I added an extra 64 MB (you did check that it was being

No, you most likely are /not/ loosing your memory (your mind, maybe
:-). What is happening is the system is using this memory as a cache
and buffering all your data into memory, therefore allowing faster use
of memory vs. disk.
When binaries require more memory, the mm (memory manager) will allocate
appropriate space and decrease the buffers and cache size to accomodate
the increased memory need, and/or swap what it doesn't immediately need
or have resources therefor.

I don't think X fonts suck. And BTW, fonts are not built in. Maybe the

Yes. Bingo. X11R6.3 (or was it R6.4?) features a unified printing

anyone uses it.
But it's in XFree86 3.3.3.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: The ext2 filesystem doesn't as of yet implement access
control. It is currently being worked on by the ext2fs maintainer and
according to usenet gossip will be ready for the 2.4 kernels.
Ducking-question answer: you can do quite a bit of what you would do with
ACL's with groups. More than most people use, at least.
