Hi,
Have you ever wondered what the standard X-window color names are?
Have you been bothered by the fact that the color combination you
picked was not what you were imaging? Then worry no more. The color
mysteries terminator is here: the CNCC -- "Color Name Combination
Center", my free X-window color picker.
It is a Tk based program (source release) that let you see the bg/fg
combination effect of all colors available under the X window system
-- very easily. The color names are taken from $XConsortium:
rgb.txt,v 10.41 94/02/20 18:39:36, which is standard across all
major Unix and Linux platforms.
Get your xterm a colorful look now, or emacs or anything that you
face everyday. No trial-and-error is needed any more with the help
of CNCC.
Enjoy it.

It should see that in these cases the Host Names do NOT MATCH any of the
Virtual Hosts and thus they should fall through to the DEFAULT virtual host,
which I defined (!!!).

Thanks. I was going to just edit the script, but like I said it is full of
warning messages that I should not do that...
So, I guess I will anyway. I guess that means apacheconf is full of errors,
known or unknown ....

Active boot partition does not make any difference if LILO is in the MBR,
only if LILO is on a partition.
Do you have any virus checking software that might have noticed that the
MBR was changed and tried to "restore" it. Or do you have automatic
Windows Updates enabled?
The first thing I would check is how your partitions are labelled with
Linux fdisk. Make sure that any Linux (primary or logical, but not
extended) partitions are type Linux or Linux Swap.
Win98 FAT32 partitions should be type b (smaller than 1024 cyl) or type c
(bigger than 1024 cyl). A Win98 extended partition is typically type f,
but type 5 Extended is suitable if it "only" contains Linux logical
partitions. If these are labelled any differently, make a note of it.
For example Gateway GoBack sometimes uses an type 44 UNKNOWN partition
type.
You might want to post the output of Linux 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' (the -l is
L as in list).

You must have been doing graphics with your Win client. On my PIII 500
laptop there was no significant difference in reported times (not sure
about actual time) between Win SETI screensaver set to blank in 0 (no
graphics), Win cmd version or Linux. But in Linux it can run -nice 19 in
the distant background without even being noticed.

enable pop3, again using any one of the elementary
run level editors, or even the barebones "chkconfig"
command.
- assuming you said "yes" to imap during install.
Red Hat includes pop servers in the imap server pkg.

make bzImage
Unix is case-sensitive. In many cases, it's aggressively
case-sensitive. "XF86Config", "xf86config", and "Xf86CoNfIg" all refer
to different files. Likewise, the "make" utility is case-sensitive, so
"bzImage" is a valid target and "bzimage" isn't.
Also, kernel 2.2.14 is a few months behind the times. The latest stable
version is kernel 2.2.19, and the 2.4 series is just about ready for
prime time. (Just MHO, 2.4.5 has so far shown none of the weird
joystick, sound, or VIA chipset problems that plagued earlier 2.4
kernels for me.)

Going to themes.org it's even one of the popular windowmanagers, or
theme-ing packages. How does one install it? Is it resource-hungry? The
reason I ask is, I really prefer lightweight WMs/desktops e.g. blackbox,
and so on, but I am willing to try other things, within certain
parameters: can easily modify current themes, nice and compact so I can
run most voracious multimedia clips, very least resemblance to Windows and
much closer to Litestep

Subject: Red Herring lies: beware of rhats!
Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 04:30:32 GMT
Red Herring: Investor rage gets ugly
Here's the story accordingly to RH... Red Herring:
We get death threats at work from dissatisfied shareholders," says
Matthew Szulik, CEO of Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT), whose stock plummeted
from a high of $143 in December 1999 to a low of $5 a year later,
erasing $23 billion worth of market capitalization. "People bought in
when the stock was hot and the movement was hot," Mr. Szulik groans,
"and now they're pissed."...
People traded on whims, gut feelings, and often with no more knowledge
than a company's ticker symbol. So imagine the surprise of these
novices when the stock market -- which had done nothing but go up
since they signed on -- suddenly expected them to share the burden of
$4.7 trillion in losses.
http://www.redherring.com/index.asp?layout=story&doc_id=1270019527&channel=20000002
First, lets make this clear. Shares fell from a maximum of $286.25 on
December 9th 1999 to about 10$ today. (There's been a 2:1 split)
Saying that they fell from 1.43$ to 5�, is mathematically exactly the
same... but, somehow, the effect is not the same.
Then again, if investors are proved right, they effectively have been
swindled:
In exchange for the excessive commissions, the complaint alleges, lead
underwriter The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and underwriters Credit
Suisse First Boston Corp. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith,
Inc. allocated Red Hat shares to customers at the IPO price of $14 per
share. To receive the allocations (i.e., the ability to purchase
shares) at $14, the defendant underwriters' brokerage customers had to
agree to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at
progressively higher prices. The requirement that customers make
additional purchases at progressively higher prices as the price of
Red Hat stock rocketed upward (a practice known on Wall Street as
``laddering'') was intended to (and did) drive Red Hat's share price
up to artificially high levels. This artificial price inflation, the
complaint alleges, enabled both the underwriters and their customers
to reap enormous profits by buying stock at the $14 IPO price and then
selling it later for a profit at inflated aftermarket prices, which
rose as high as $56.75 during its first day of trading.
Rather than allowing their customers to keep their profits from the
IPO, the complaint alleges, the defendant underwriters required their
customers to ``kick back'' some of their profits in the form of secret
commissions. These secret commission payments were sometimes
calculated after the fact based on how much profit each investor had
made from his or her IPO stock allocation.
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010329/2557.html
Note: Two other similar suits are pending by other law firms.
Though the amount of losses for Microsoft investors is much greater,
the fact remains that $28 invested in RHAT at its peak are now worth
$1 whereas 10$ invested in MSFT are now worth about 6$ (approx. I
didn't check closely.)
As for the benefits from the beginning of both companies, check:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT&d=c&t=my&l=on&z=b&q=l (MSFT Chart
from beginning)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=RHAT&d=c&t=2y&l=on&z=b&q=l (RHAT Chart
from beginning)
In other words, don't trust rhats. The GPL license was not designed
for companies and only Bob Young demented spirit could come up with
such an insane idea as an IPO.

something different based on that variable... Which one do we
