Name")..." but the MS directory structure is actually C:\Program Files.
Program Files is not found within the main Windows directory, but as
part of the root.

I'm going on holiday to Europe on (25 June) for a month
(back on 26 July) so if you would like to change
anything in the doc's you can do so without consulting
me. Also, note that there is now a "dict" format for
the Linux Dictionary available :)
Thankyou,
Binh

The sentence,
'If you typed ls and the shell looked for the fake program in your home directory before the real program in the /bin directory, what do you think woul dhappen?'
contains an error and I beleive it is meant to be,
'If you typed ls and the shell looked for the fake program in your home directory before the real program in the /bin directory, what do you think would happen?'
As well,
'If you can log into a machine, it allows you to run a graphical application on it, unlikt Telnet, which requires users to have an understanding of the X authentication mechanisms that are manipulated through the xauth and xhost commands.' I beleive is supposed to be
'If you can log into a machine, it allows you to run a graphical application on it, unlike Telnet, which requires users to have an understanding of the X authentication mechanisms that are manipulated through the xauth and xhost commands.'

"Shareable" files are those that can be stored on one host and used on others. "Unshareable" files are those that
are not shareable. For example, the files in user home directories are shareable whereas device lock files are not.
"Static" files include binaries, libraries, documentation files and other files that do not change without system
administrator intervention. "Variable" files are files that are not static.
