tlug note from "Jim Schweizer" <schweiz@example.com>

Hi all,

I'm having a great time with this SparcLinux box, but it doesn't act 
at all like Slackware.

For instance, what is the file 'core' doing (and growing by leaps and 
bounds) in the root directory. There's no man page for it and whatis 
says there's nothing appropriate. can I safely delete this when it 
gets too big? It's already at 344064.

Thanks

Jim S.
