I imagine that Joe Public would go into a shop, and:
Joe Public: I'd like to buy a PC, please.
Shop Assistant: Certainly. Would sir like the PC with built-in
crippling, which means sir will also be needing to spend large amounts
on software? Or would sir prefer this uncrippled model, which comes
with 'cracked' software pre-loaded?

I think most people would get cracked copies of software. These would
be entirely legal and probably available from any consumer electronics
shop.

I've read about running multiple instances of X in "Running Linux." I
found out that by pressing the Alt+F1 through Alt+F6 keys I can get as
many shells running concurrently. But once I start an X session in one
of them I can't seem to figure out how to get back to one of the other
sessions to invoke a second X session.
Just an observation from a newbie.
Oh, I've discovered that in the AfterStep interface that came with RH5.1
I can have four 'panes' per "Desk" and a total of four "Desks." That
gives me 16 different places to store (hide?) stuff. Anything more and

One last thing. As a help to fellow newbies I would like to recommend

A third book which I have yet to purchase (will be doing so shortly) is
entitled Volume 3: X Window System User's Guide Standard Edition
(O'Reilly). I've been told that O'Reilly is the defacto standard for

preemptive:
The kernel does not wait for a process to give CPU time to others (e.g.
through a kernel function), but interrupts it and forces other processes
to be able to get CPU time.
reentrant:
a kernel or library function can be called from within itself. This
implies that it does not e.g. use global variables.

I think most of the newest distributions like OpenLinux 2.2, RedHat 6.0
and SuSE 6.1 use glibc 2.1 and distribute StarOffice. So there must be a
way. But I haven't had a look at one of them yet.

It depends on which version of pine you are using. I think on the older ones
I had to recompile it to enable changing the from part (this was 3.9??).
A couple of months ago I changed to 4.05 and I believe it worked out of the
box, though compiling pine is no big deal.
In either case, you go to setup and add a customized header

oh - I missed this comment on the first cut: the scrolling speed is comparable
if you enable the hashmap code in the build (long story - politics)
-- there's another factor in the speed (a bug in slang which ignores the
delay times specified in the terminal description, but that's probably
not the case here).

Giuseppe,
In your /etc/inittab file change the startup level from 3 to 5 and change
the startup execution to xdm. I can't recall the precise details (responding
from a Windows system) but it should be self evident once you are in the

That's 'perfect competition', ie the ideal 'market' for a particular
product. Not the same as a 'free market economy', which certainly
won't give perfect competition in every market. (Perfect competition
is the ideal, but you could never achieve it in practice, although
some markets like (unregulated) agriculture come fairly close.)

There are a couple of ways:
1: there is a utility called unix2dos and one called dos2unix, this handles
the conversion of text files easily
2: in VIM there is an option to save the file as a different type
read the docs on howto do this.
