Actually, there are a number of different wiki formats available on different systems, and many of them allow a structured markup which can be translated into a book form, and perhaps even into docbook/XML or latex. If you are not using lots of equations, Docbook/XML is a great file format to use

I upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 just 3 days ago and so far, I'm quite happy with the results! It's especially nice to be back in 3.4-land after having to temporarily downgrade to testing ! On 9/12/05, David E. Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Fri, 09 Sep 2005 15:49:39 -0400"H. S." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wro

Re: call for a vote -- should debian-user mailing list replies go to author or to list?

Hrm - I noticed when I tried to reply-to all (my client is actually google mail's web interface), that debian-user didn't even show up in my To: field. Strange. However, I hate it when I accidentally reply-to the whole list when I meant to send it only to the sender. I think a mailing list post sh

I would recommend never deleting files from /etc/init.d, but instead deleting the symlinks that are pointing TO those files, which you can find in for example, ls -l /etc/rc5.d (if runlevel 5 is your default runlevel). you can find your default run level by doing this: grep default /etc/initta
