<!-- begin hgreeting -->
|
|
<P> Greetings, everyone. It's another day, another penguin over here at
|
|
The Answer Gang. I'm sorry there are only three messages this time but
|
|
I think you'll find them juicy.
|
|
|
|
<P> Statistics - there were about 460 messages - and almost none of that was
|
|
spam thanks to Dan Wilder's hard work keeping the list on a leash. I'd
|
|
say the most common reason to not get an answer or merely get grumped at
|
|
instead of seeing a useful answer, would be to combine the twin errors
|
|
of using HTML based mail, and not telling us what few things you've
|
|
looked up first. We can do much better at translating technese to
|
|
English than we can do at translating confused-fuzziness to a technical
|
|
question.
|
|
|
|
<P> You folks had a gazillion good tips out there and I'm digging myself out
|
|
from under them right now. [Imagine: a computer workroom filled with
|
|
little grey envelopes filled with pennies all gabbing about little Linux
|
|
tidbits. It's quite a chatterbox.]
|
|
|
|
<P> But that's hardly fair. The real reason I'm running late and a few
|
|
pennies short is that I've been working really hard on the upcoming
|
|
LNX-BBC. It's gonna be this year's membership card for the
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</A>. I mean, if you're
|
|
not a member then perhaps you should be anyway... but this is a definite plus.
|
|
It's still a toy for experts though. More on cool toys for "the rest of us" in
|
|
upcoming months. There are lots and lots of good projects out there.
|
|

<BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
|
|
[It wasn't all Heather's fault. Our FTP server played a game of
|
|
"let's not but pretend we did", accepting Heather's Answer Gang upload but not
|
|
storing it. Bad FTP daemon, bad! It also has been dying the past few days,
|
|
which Dan has been combating via upgrades and logfile analysis. At one point
|
|
logrotate was dying and taking the daemon down with it. -Iron.]
|

|
|
|
|
<P> Have fun!
