TLUG Mailing List

OK Josh,

everyone knows it, but I didn't because I am not EVERYONE.

I feel more identifyed by the name Mr. "where is the start button" because I am just jumping to LINUX while coming from MS Windows & suffering like in MS D.O.S times!!!

I hope I can become a wizard like most of you in the future, but the only thing I can do right now is to sit down in front of my computer, sorrounded by linux manuals and reading the tlug mails in order to understand that magic software!!!

Thank you for the spell!!!

Martin

What a kludge! Everyone knows that

echo 'esd&' >> /etc/rc.local

is the One True Way to invoke the esd spell!

Beware the call of the Dark Side, my young Padwan! (pico ain't OSS,

switch to nano!)
