I think I have it working now. I was going by the instructions in the
Linux Network Administrator's Guide and TCP/IP Network Administration, but
neither mentioned anything about /etc/named.conf (that I came across), and
I assumes that the information in /etc/named.boot supplied the necessary
pointers. I'm still not 100% clear about the relationship between the two,
but I suppose that I can RTFMpage for that.
Thanks.

Not something to kid about. Redhat's remote linuxconf administration is
extremely insecure by design and I suggest you disable it. If you need
remote administration I suggest you get Secure Shell (ssh). You can get it
at www.replay.com.

Well, he does seem to pronounce it somewhat as I do (although with a definite
accent, of course :> ), but with a little bit more 'eee' on the i.
All moot, of course, since different countries (or even different parts of
the same country) have different accents and pronunciations. People who don't
speak English as their native language will also likely pronounce it even more
differently.
I've heard several pronunciations, and they all mean the same thing to me. As
long as you know what the other person is talking about - what's the problem?

No, s"t"icky - the t bit. The s bit in the groupid area says all files and

The "T" bit (in the 'rest of the world area' in the permissions) says, the

Personally I prefer SuSE, but you can use both. I installed both distros
at least 15 times and they normally run smoothly. Compared to the times
when I installed my first SLS in 1993 I must say that Linux installations
nowadays are much easier, even easier than WinNT installations. When it
comes to the software: The things I like from RH are the print tool and the
sound configuration. I hate the manual because there is nothing in it. This
is one of the big advantages of SuSE: the manual. And I know both of them,
the english and the german. The installation is a little better and SuSE
comes with more software. But there are still some things missing.
At the institute where I was working, we changed from RH to SuSE. We had a
long debate but now everybody is happier than before I think.

Don't know about FreeBSD. Slackware Linux will install okay on a

Slackware's setup -- just follow instructions. And don't even

I'm not sure what you mean by remote control, but you will be able to
telnet in to your Linux machine from your windows machine and run any
"terminal" based applications. If you run an X server on your windows
machine you can also run X apps remotely. This is one of the coolest
design features of X.

Everyone in my family who chose to complete their college education
did very well. Even the ones who did not pursue high education did
fairly well for themselves and no one ever had to live on public
assistance. When you want to work there is a job somewhere.
After one of my young brothers got killed by a drunk driver I dropped
out of college and went to work as a transient worker and always
had something to eat. Life was hard for that period of my life but
I saved my pennies and went back to college some 5 years later
and I graduated in engineering.
No it was not luck, at least not for me. It was hard work all the
way. And my wife comes for an even poorer background, as the
natives are the poorest people in this country.
One thing about the USA is that anyone who put his mind to it
can succeed. Sometime it can be very very hard but it is possible.
My son is likely to have an easier time than I did.
Most people who became rich in this country had a hard life in
the old world and their descendants are benifiting from their
hard work.
This country is the land of opportunities where everyone has a
chance to make it good. The catch is that you must do it on your
own and you can't expect the society or the government to do it for
you.

That depends. Software for which you only get executables are likely
not going to work. Software that comes with source has a fairly good
chance of being able to be built on Linux. If you can't build it
yourself, you can probably find somebody to help you.

"May". You meant "may succeed". It is also important to define success,
of course. It is also important to realize that such a person may fail
as well, and, in fact, is much more likely to do so--at least if this
individual has any mind towards things other than making money at all

Good Lord. Go run for office--then you'll have really made it, man <g>.
Think of it: electronics engineer is no big deal, it's a really low rank
in the society. They import them from 3rd world places right now, 'cause
no one wants to do this job. Politician is different. You'll be able to
go around and say the very same bullshit that you do anyway, but then
you'll be paid--and rather handsomely at that. Now, power even more
important than money and you'll get a crack at it. Besides, you have
humble beginnings, which is preferred, so I suggest you give it a shot.
You'll be thanking me forever for this advice, you'll see.

Why insane? If I get specs, the drive is usualy supported some time later.

The second web link oints only to areported Inquiry data
and an entry in the inquiry data base does not necessarily
mean that a drive is supported.
