Try putting a link from wherever your master web page goes (like,
default on a debian system for www.../index.html is /var/www) to /home
Then, your users don't even need a ~ in front of their names. Just an
index.html and they're all set.

Perhaps a short clip from the web page mentioned above for the
ecgs patches is appropriate:
"A warning about using newer compilers:
Even with these patches applied, you should know that you will
use a compiler/kernel-pair that is not as much tested as a
kernel compiled with gcc 2.7.x. Some code in the kernel is only
executed very seldom and your production server might loose data
if your machine decides to depend on that code...
That said, I have to confess that I use development versions of
egcs for many months on several production machines without any
problems."

I agree with Villy Kruse, anyway, you may find useful program 'fuser' for
detecting which program makes it impossible to umount a file system. Read
man for fuser for further info.

Yes. You need to build support for this into the kernel and read the
documentation that accompanies the kernel with regard to this facility.

I would add that you might want to use the sudo proram to
allow specific users to do specific system tasks. I'm
assuming here that sudo is available for linux - I've
never had cause to need it.

Red Hat 5.1 came with gnuplot v3.5 which is a very powerful graphing package
that runs under X.
The new version 3.7 can be downloaded from

Given that he doesnt know what .pl stands for could you assume that he doesnt
know whether it is specific to linux or not? Also "this is has nothing to do
with linux" -really? Why does my linux installation have perl on it then?

Thanks! I got that fixed. Now, whether I use the newly compiled kernel or the

First of all - take a look at the network config on the PC's or ask your
sys.adm.
If you run X with gtk installed, you can run a network surveillance program
called Cheops, which will show all the machines and their IP's on your
local network.
You can optain Cheops from

But assuming the SUV is larger and heavier, thus causing more damage
in a collision - would you advocate stricter penalties for reckless
driving with a SUV than with a sub-compact?
