RMS reacted the way he did because of the way all the free software
which up to then was the norm in his (academic) circles was getting
snapped up by patenteers and sell-outs in the early 1970s. The lecture
he gave at that Swedish University a few years ago was pretty clear on
this.

Subject: Loading Font in XTerm
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 19:31:47 GMT
I've tried a ton of things again, and can't seem to get this working.
With RXVT v2.6.1 and xterm 4.0(?), running on Mandrake 7.1. I've
loaded both the dosemu RPM (which contains the vga.pcf font) and copied
vga.pcf to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc directory.
Once its there, I run mkfontdir, then
xset fp rehash
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start (I read where some Redhat distros had a
problem here)
After this, the cfa fonts is in the fonts.dir file
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc as
vga.pcf vga
But the file is there, dosemu seems to run ok. But when I use:
xterm -font vga
I get: xterm: unable to open font "vga", trying "fixed"....
rxvt -font vga
I get: rxvt: can't load font "vga"
I also looked through my .Xdefaults file, but could find nothing that
would seem to conflict. Any suggestions here, I am running dry. . . .
Thanks in advance, hopefully,

Sometimes. I generally reboot some poor target machine with the culprit
kernel, however, and subject it to horrible tortures until it gives in

Well, it's got to be able to do something, otherwise you can't get much
sense out of it at all. But yes, in that case, with a broken boot
sequence, you'd need to do some hard work to figure what's wrong,
and a symbol table in a file somewhere else would be of help in
deciphering the oops.

That's correct. But maybe his path includes an nfs mounted directory,
mounted hard. Or maybe he tried it from within X with the display
variable set to me.my.mine:0.
I.e. I am looking for things that would prevent him seeing what is
happening by locking most of his machine up.

Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 12:11:14 -0800
New to Linux... running RH 7 using the included GUIs.
Unlike Windows, using the "Shut Down" protocol from the GUI seems to shut
down LINUX, but not the hardware.
I want to do the following:
At least, issue a command (as root, presumably) which closes Linux and
places the hardware in a low-power consumption mode from which it can be
awakened with a Wake On LAN signal.
At best, Linux will not have to shut down, but can go into a suspended
state.
Thanks

Your dogma has had centuries of abuse at the hands of zealots

Ease of use should be associated with things like "human engineering"
and "use the right tool for the right job". And of course,
"reliability", since stopping to fix a problem or starting over due
to lost work are the very antithesis of "ease of use".

Also while the herd mentality is certainly there, I think the
nature of software interfaces and how they tend to interfere
with free choice is far more critical. It's not enough to merely
have the "biggest fraternity", you also need a way to trap people
in once they've made a bad initial decision.
