Hi,
As a long time user of Windows 98, I'm thinking about ditching the OS for
Linux. Frankly I don't know which version of Linux I should buy. I'm not
an expert user on Linux, more of a newbie type. Can you recommend the
version of Linux I should get? Is Mandrade 7.1 any good? Thank you for
your answer.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I installed Red Hat 6.1 on the 12th. The
installation went well and I've been running since the 12th.

You *definitely* need to play with vim, then. It was the first thing that I
encountered other than the abonimable Word 2 that could do rectangular
selection. (Useful for the days of having ascii-art owls in one's .sig :)
Alternatively, can't you do something like y4l to yank 4 characters
to the right?

You need have a kernel with support to vfat and then mount your partition:
mount -tvfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
May be other /dev/hda???
If you like dangerous things try this: load yours win98 with DOSEMU and
make a directory of linux partition visible for DOSEMU. Use COPY to
exchange files. It�s work;)

This is a fallacy. Even in vanilla vi this is easy.
Go to the beginning point.
Type "ma". (Mark as 'a').
Go to the end point.
Type "y`a".
Yanks from the begin point to the end point no matter where in the line they
may be. There are other ways even in vanilla vi.
Of course all the newer vi do visible selection. Which is even nicer as you
can see what you are selecting.

Yes!!! :-) I've been trying to figure that out for soooooo long.
That ranks up there with filtering a region. You rule!
Now I'm pretty much out of ideas for things that vi can't do that emacs
can do. Oh wait...there's that life animation. Damn. I guess I'll
have to load up emacs to see that. ;)

I'm finding it nicer than Visual Basic at the moment, though I'm
getting used to working with VB. Java seems a much more `pure'
language, even if it is getting weak links to work around memory leak
problems. In VB things like "Let for system defined types and Set for
user defined types" take some remembering.

Well, Linux Tar's are different from windows zip files. If you are trying
to take the tar from the win pc to the linux pc, via floppy, this is your
problem. You can do it, but when you mount the floppy, you have to mount
it like this mount -t vfat /dev/floppy
you have to tell your linux box what kind of floppy it is.

You do need to tell mount what kind of floppy it is, yes (unless you're
using an auto mount util or something), but that's nothing to do with tar
files. Tar files are tar files, as far as I know: they're a standard
format.
Make sure you're in binary mode when you download it.
If it's ftp, type 'bin' (on the DOS command line ftp) or do whatever you
need to to tell it that if you're using a GUI ftp.
I think some web browsers need to be told to use binary also. Try
right-clicking on the link and choosing a likely looking option.

_IF_ you have a floppy drive, the install goes like this;
In Windows, access your cdrom and locate a file in /dosutils called
rawrite.exe, copy it to c:\ and do the same for boot.img in /images.
(while you are there, read all you can about the install procedure.)
Run rawrite and it will walk you through copying the image to a:
Boot with the floppy in the drive and it should start the install.
A major gotcha for an old machine is a bios limit of 1024 cylinders
to load the kernel. Make a small /boot partition, 8/10mb.
You really only need 3 partitions, /boot, swap and /.
If ram is limited, make a swap partition of at least 128mb, you may
or may not be able to create more.
Be sure to create a bootdisk when it asks you too, because that may
be the only way to boot up until you can get lilo installed.
Good Luck

An application can create its own cursor via X functions like
XCreatePixmapCursor(3x). Since there is no mouse and so no mouse
position available the default is being used, which is the centre
of the screen.
So much for why .. passing the how on to someone else .. "aarggghhh"; yes,
I can see through you ;)
Could be the XForms library provides an option as mtv can pass options
on, but I've never used XForms.

Dig out your floppy with boot.img (or rawrite one) and reboot;

Boot: vmlinuz 1 or 3 root=/dev/hdxx (use your / partition)

You should try vim then, it has "visual" region selection, including
regions that span an arbitray amount of several lines, like in Emacs. I
also really like the good old vi functionality of being able to paste a
line with the cursor anywhere on the line above or below. Saves a lot of
time.

ISTR using that in GNU Emacs. It's not a great improvement on hacking
.emacs IIRC, it has a tendency towards, "It's GUI therefore doesn't need
explaining."

I'm looking for a 'simple' proxy for unix.
It should
* NOT cache
* Be highly reliable software
(no need for dumb hacks like an auto-restarting loop)
* Have minimal security like "only allow connections from 1.2.x.x"
* Handle http, and SSL-tunneling proxies
* Have an active, or at least interested, developer
* Be free, and run under UNIX.
IDEALLY, it should also handle browser-ftp proxying.
The above criteria rule out squid, and the TIS "firewall toolkit".
Any other suggestions?
