**** Paging civileme, Vincent Danen and other
mandrakesoft cool and gorgeous guys ;) <grins> ****

may i know what is the status of this? dont want to be
so nosey but its really irritating to have a /bin/cat
running on your mandrake+kde system ... and not see
the same process on other distros like rh or
slackware.
