Thanks for all your answers--UUG sure has a wealth of knowledge. I have some more questions:
What is a kernel panic? How does it happen? I've read that locate isn't for all situations. I've read that locate doesn't search the hard drive, but rather a database that represents the hard drive. Therefore, locate is only as accurate as the locate database is current. Is this right? When should I use the find command? Are there other search commands? If so what are their merits? How do I kill frozen applications? How do I use the kill command? I've read the man page, but I'm not sure how to tell what process is frozen and how to kill it.
