Speaking of word-processors...
No, I did not switch from Windows to Linux. I installed SuSE 5.1 on my
machine a year ago, and thought it was very cool. I loved the
command-line control, the multiple consoles, the unobtrusiveness of the
GUI, and the sheer configurability of it. I still have it on my machine.
But i hardly ever use it.
Why? Because I spend most of my time on the machine writing formal papers
that require neat formatting, endnotes or footnotes, multiple styles,
etc.; and I spend much of the rest of my time on the machine jotting notes
- or trying to find them. And I have over the years become used to using
WordPerfect, as well as a few other tools, to do these jobs. I had hoped
to be able to do the same thing in Linux - especially after I'd heard of
the the WP8 for Linux release. But WP8 for Linux is about the worst
excuse for a word processor I've seen in years. Mind you, it doesn't lack
for functionality; it's just plain *unreadable*.
I grew up with computers, starting with the early Apple II (actually, the
TRS-80), and I enjoyed messing around with the Linux OS. I do really
believe that it is a better OS than Windows, for any number of reasons.
But for me, it doesn't have the apps yet. Geeks and gurus can say what
they like about how great TeX and LATeX are - and I'm sure they are great
- but they don't have what I need and want, which is a well-designed
and *readable* GUI. When Linux sports a really decent version of
WordPerfect, a database like Access, and some kind of graphical scripting
tool like Visual Basic that a non-engineer like me can easily master,
*then* I'll be among the first to run out and get it, believe me.
And please, don't scream at me to go out and get a 'free' copy of
StarOffice or Applix or whatever. I have over 30 Megs of written material
here - of WordPerfect files - plus gad knows how many more of notes,
database entries, etc etc. One just does not change to a brand new way of
doing things - with different file formats to boot (and notoriously
terrible conversion tools) - in midstream.
As a kind of side-note: I run a 486dx33 -- pretty clunky by today's
standards. but I like it, and it does everything I need it to. Now, one
of the things I *really* like about Linux is that so many of the
graphical apps are based on console apps, or even built out of 'em. That
means, I can access and edit my files in the console of an old 386 laptop,
with no GUI, as readily as I can in my desktop GUI. I like that.

I am in the process of setting up a new Redhat 6.0 server and I am having
some problems getting it to properly boot from the hardware RAID array I
have.
SYSTEM SPECS:
Motherboard: ASUS P2B-DS Dual PII mobo w/ on-board
Adaptec 7890 Ultra2 Controller Built in
Processors: 2 PII-400s
Memory: 256MB
DRIVE: 18GB RAID5 Array connected to a CMD external
RAID controller (UltraWide)
The installation recognized the RAID disk just fine as ID:0:0 and is able
to install all the software. However, when I boot the RAID disck, I end
up getting the following in LILO:
"L 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20"
I do have a 100mb /boot partion as /dev/sda1.
I get the same results if I boot with a floppy.
I am assuming that the issue is related to limitations in LILO's ability
to address large hard drives and the way the 7890 controller addresses
these large drives. However, Adaptec's support information stinks and I
haven't an clue where to go next.
FYI: The motherboard is running the latest BIOS.
I would rather not add a stand-alone disk to boot off of, as IMHO that
defeats the purpose of the RAID.
Any thoughts on what to do next?

Robert,
Is this in reference to accessing Mindspring ISP? If this is the case, then
you don't need a script for access.
You do need to have PAP enabled for account authentication. You can go to
this page
http://help.mindspring.com/support/browse/general_info/toc/d0119.htm
and link to the Linux or other OS pages for specific info on connecting to
Mndspring ISP.
I'm using the older RH 5.1 for connecting, and what was necessary was to use
Network Configuration in X session to set the required info for enabling
the PPP session. Then, using the User Net utility to start or stop the
PPP session. Mindspring does use the PAP protocol for authentication. You
will NOT authenticate without useing it. I don't use a script of any kind.
I'm not sure what RH 6.x requires, but I'll send a couple of screen shots of
the required entries. On the mindspring help pages for Linux, there are
files referenced. I did go into those files to ensure that the correct
entries were there. Using the GUI configuration utilities did put the
correct info there.
Best Regards
Valentin Guillen

I'm not enthralled with graphical applications; I have no great complaints
about WP8, but have not used it *really* seriously. I will have to defer
to your judgement on it.

WordPerfect 5.1 coped for many years without a GUI of any kind, and
provided good service to its users in that form.
If you are so heavily entrenched in the use of some particular version
of WordPerfect (Version 6 or 7, I presume?), then it would be *foolish*
for you to move to using Linux.
There are those of us that have done much the same thing that you have,
which is to figure out how to use our favorite document system to do
sophisticated things, which thereby means that to retrench from using
LaTeX would be as stupid for us as it would be for you to move from
your current software set.

No, I won't "scream" at you.
I will say that my documents of ten years ago produced using LaTeX are
still usable today, whereas you're eventually liable to be *forced* to
discard your present version of WordPerfect, and make a transition
to *something* else.

telnet is probably already configured, you just need to setup
/etc/hosts.allow.
Try adding this to the end of /etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: ALL
After you've got it working you might want to change it to something
more secure.

First, things don't "just start" by themselves. Have you made ANY changes to
your /etc/crontab or root's crontab?
The format for the /etc/crontab is just a little different than the
user-specific crontabs. The entries in /etc/crontab also includes the
username under which the job is run. As you can see in the "Subject:" line
above, the job was meant to be run by root.
This cron job was likely fired off by root's crontab (/var/spool/cron/root
??), but was just copied from /etc/crontab. Remember, the format is different
between the two types.

Ted,
I tthink the best way to get started is to get a book. This will help you
through the install process and once Linux is set up and running you will
be a converted.
Most software is free, if you care to down load it, or you can buy the
stuff at a decent price, a good place is http:\\www.linuxmall.com, check
it out and see for yourself. Windows tools are about 3 times more
expensive then stuff for Linux. As far as books are concerned
barnes&nobel, amazon or fatbrain have a good selection covering Linux.
Have fun and remember have the fun is learning something new while you go
through the set-up, and if you get stuck you generally get a quick answer
here.

It creates a complete virtual machine without an OS. You get a BIOS, Memory, Disks,
