No. The kernel probably infringes dozens, perhaps hundreds of patents.
Debian's policy is to ignore patents in the absence of evidence that the
owner is likely to enforce them on us.

Hi Marty,
I an very new to Linux. What do I type in to give you more information. I
used the 180MB install disk image from debian.org and I type in linux26 at
the install prompt...
Here are some tools that may yield useful output:
kernel version: uname -a
pci
or KMail, or a process like fetchmail? Or an MTA that spools

products would execute commands in emails.
Couldn't you write something which reads /var/mail/$userid?

tcpdump: getifaddrs: Connection refused

Newbie here. Have Woody running on a P166 w/ 48MB ram and 4GB hd. Major
apps running ok - htdig, apache, samba. But when I look at disk usage get this:
UNCLELEO:/home/marty# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1-566353887454 1
before running fsck wonder if something I did recently messed up the
display and just stopping my running processes fixed it?
Thanks Chris.
