I am looking at buying the computer described below, and one of the guys
at work says that I will have all kinds of problems installing Linux on it
because of the SCSI hard drive. Is this true? I'm not a hardware person
at all and have never installed Linux on a computer from the ground up

Okay...I don't get it. I'm trying to format a date using sed. When I do
the command from the command line, it works. But when I try it within the
sed statement, I get a message saying:
sed: command garbled: s/NEWDAY/Wednesday,05/30/2001/g

Any sed proficient folks out there who could lend a
bumping into each other. And putting scripts in the /etc/cron.*
directories is something I hadn't thought of. Thanks for giving me the

It depends on how the cron is set up. The exact hour of the day is set
in the crontab file. You can check it out yourself by entering crontab -e
at the command line. It will bring up the list of scheduled cron jobs.
Below I have an example of how crons are scheduled. There are 3 cron jobs

I got it working. Thanks again. The problem turned out to a mind fart on

This is off topic, but I'm hoping your sharp eyes will see what I am
obviously missing.
I'm writing a ksh script which I want to give 3 variables and read them
from standard input. To do this, I'm using sed. I want sed to

A segmentation fault is reported when you run a program and it tries to

Okay, here are the steps as I understand them (let me know if this helps):
Go to the etc directory and run the command:
./htpasswd -c directoryname.pwd username
htpassword will prompt you to enter a password twice. Once it's done, you
can cat directoryname.pwd to see that it has created a fi
