Hmm. Interesting question.
I think being married is 'never speak thoughtlessly' and sysadminning

I thought this was significant:
Version 1.2 of the Java Developer's Kit (JDK2) for Linux is available
from http://java.sun.com/ and http://www.blackdown.org/. The Linux
version was a joint project of Sun and Blackdown Consulting, which
produced the earlier Linux JDK's. This version is much exp

Hello there all,
I run Redhat 6.0, 2.2.5-15, with some kernel patches for the "onboard"
cards on my motherboard ("onboard" == "hell on earth" :). My sound card
is a cmpci one (which is an onboard sound card, that requires a kernel
patch), and when I play Quake 2, it seems to be "stolen", and cann
I have noticied a meta character named file in the root's home directory and another
user's
home directory. They were created on December 23rd. The file ownership permissions are
perfectly normal. The dreaded meta-character is '*'.
To remove this I did,
$ rm -i *
and got rid of it. I cannot i
Does anyone know if Red Hat 5.2 has any Y2K problems?
Also, I seem to remember there's a way to find out how large a disk I
have without having to open my box and look at it. Anyone?
Thanks,

Hi!!
This is my soundcard, and while I don't have a solution for your issue, I am wondering
how you get mp3's to play at all?? I have the 2.2.13 kernel, with cmpci as a module
and installed, I get system sounds, but all mp3 players seize up when I attempt to
play them...
help?

Hi!
There is some Y2K info on our support site: www.redhat.com/support

That only tells you about filesystems on the disk which isn't necessarily what
she wants.

Sorry to follow up on my own blatant disinformation, but the above is wrong.
dired is ^X d; ^X ^B is the buffer editor which is real similar.
I stand by the rest of it. (heh)

www.redhat.com claims that since 4.2 there are no y2k related problems.
But I think there are many other problems, so in any case you should at
least apply all the recommended updates.
