Then how does my Linux box know that when I double-click on a text file, it launches kwrite rather than (say) the Gimp or LibreOffice? When I right-click on a mp4 video, I get a menu that includes a Open With command that shows (amount others) Kaffeine, mplayer and VLC. If you mean the Linux *kernel* doesn't do file associations, then you should have said so. But why do you care about the kernel? Would you think it even the *tiniest* useful to claim that "Linux doesn't do email" because it is sendmail or postfix (or similar) that sends email rather than the Linux kernel itself? -- Steve
