Dunno, my Mother is pretty normal. My 9-year-old son is rather special, but
he's had no computer education at all. They both manage.

It's sadly not what Ubuntu is about. And they discourage compiling
your own stuff IIRC.
I agree with some people here who say Lunix is not Lunix. Of course
it's what you make out of it.

Latest st revision introduces dirtyness handling but it wasn't
implemented for selections. This patch here corrects that and
selections are rendered correctly again. BTW, dirtyness thing made st
fast enough to be usable as main terminal, thanks for that. ;)

Hello,
With the latest dwm tip, I just noticed that if a floating window is
opened and tagged with an unselected tag via the config.h rules, the
window will be shifted all the way over to the left side of the screen
when the tag is activated. I have all my mplayer windows
automatically tagged on

Sorry, I don't know what you'
people are relieved that the linux class is over and they don't have to use
it again
if in 700 computer science students the great majority says "windows is so
cool", "C# is so cool", "visual studio 2010 is the best" and "linux is
crap"... thats because at first sight it looks crap!
i just asked m
what you think about this
