You may want to take a look at some of the scripting languages such as: Tcl/Tk Perl Python The above are all free, although if you want a IDE like Visual Basic those are (in general) not free. If by visual, you meant for writing GUIs, then most languages can do that -- I happen to like Tcl/Tk. -- ++-----------+ | Gerald W.

Re: Why is gnome-teminal so slow?
Suggestion: (btw I have no problems with the speed) You might want to make available a version linked against Zvt that people who don't need i18n and don't mind flick but do mind the added load (for whatever reason) could switch to.

Re: Screensaver problems
Mike, On three different machines (two fresh installs, one upgrade from 7.3) we are seeing the screen save kick in (we have the password enabled feature), but the problem is the screen is blank except the password box. All the boxes have animated screen saves chosen -- all work from the test button but not when the time limit kicks in. Any ideas??? "Mike A.

Re: again I ask: WHY does printing in RH Psyche have to be such aPITA??
Try the Lexmark site. They seem to have both the drivers and the MarkVision software for Redhat as free downloads (unless you want CD/Box/Printed Manuals -- then you have to pay). Lexmark has traditionally been very good about Unix/Linux support -- of course if you telnet to one of their networked printers you might get an idea as why they are good about Unix/Linux support.

Seems I also had to also set GDM_LANG in /etc/sysconfig/i18n! This was
due to the fact that /etc/profile.d/lang.sh sets LANG to en_US.UTF-8 if
GDM_LANG is not set.
Anyone know what the %$#% GDM_LANG is?
BTW, the Redhat language configuration utility writes
/etc/sysconfig/i18n. If in that you choose "English, American" you get
the en_US.UTF-8 setting.
Anyone know where the Redhat language configuration utility gets its
list of languages and their settings from?

I have to second that, we exchange Excel spreadsheets and Word documents with clients all the time -- but we only use OO.org. The clients can't tell that we aren't using M$ products The only time I've had any problems is when someone sends an Access file or someone is using WordPerfect and sends us something in that format as instead of Word.
