  1. Bad syntax mang... bad syntax ps auxww | grep jumps | more ;-) Alright, I'm sorry I had to do it... I'm an egomaniac... but that's to be expected, I use unix. Ever met a tolerable unix guru? I thought not. At any rate, check out Solaris 9, its great, if you want a sparc copy you can get it after signing the damn Solaris agreement a good 100 times before they let your download it. Its the same trick they're using to essentially kill Java. Making you agree to their damn licensing codes... Bastards.

  2. Intuition tells me you're a linux person (versus a FreeBSD purist). If this is the case, the latest Redhat 7.2 distro includes a working binary install of the XFree86 project that has great support for even the most cutting edge of hardware. The operating system includes a great version of linuxconf which allows you to easily reconfigure things. Although if you're familar with unix and want programs to install easily, read up on the FreeBSD "ports tree" and you'll find some truly fascinating opportunities. Beastie and his OS are Free at www.FreeBSD.org :-) always use tcp_wrappers before you fsck. ;-) find / -name jumpers -print; cat jumpers $USER > manifest; cd /dev/airplane; more altitude; make jump; cd /pub; more beer;
  3. What OS are you running? Linux or Solaris, NetBSD? Solaris 9 offers some great security features not previously found in Solaris 8. The kernel was radically tuned for performance reasons, ssh is now standard, and the entire OS runs faster on the Sparc platform. This was documented in Sys Admin as well as Network Magazine with benchmarks on Ultra 10 300Mhz SparcIIs. If you're looking for a way to make KDE or Gnome work on Sparc check the XFree86.org site :-) -=Raistlin find / -name jumpers -print; cat jumpers $USER > manifest; cd /dev/airplane; more altitude; make jump; cd /pub; more beer;
  4. Ack! You windows people are true traitor who take the easy way out. You lose 20 geek points for resorting to windows... which is a sad thing because as skydivers you're already down 50 geek points. At this rate you'll never make the rank of security administrator :-) find / -name jumpers -print; cat jumpers $USER > manifest; cd /dev/airplane; more altitude; make jump; cd /pub; more beer;
  5. KDE on i386 CDE on Sparc OSX on Mac "While your computer's crashing mine's multitasking, does all my work without me even asking" --Wierd Al Use the Source Luke. ;-) find / -name jumpers -print; cat jumpers $USER > manifest; cd /dev/airplane; more altitude; make jump; cd /pub; more beer;
  6. Narcimund: well said. I'm new here, although I'm immediately impressed with the maturity level thus far. Looks like a neat group as well. Blue Skies... ... and right now they are... ...and I'm in front of a computer... ...and so are you... ...wanna jump? find / -name jumpers -print; cat jumpers $USER > manifest; cd /dev/airplane; more altitude; make jump; cd /pub; more beer;
