And my Kernel logging stopped.
I have Googled and looked around and I am guessing I am using Upstart.
Not Klogd or syslogd.

Just a wee little note about uncrackable Linux. "Staminus.net" is a
server farm in the Fullerton Ca area. They proudly advertise Fedora,
AMD, MySQL, and other trademarks at the bottom of their page.

Hello eveyone,
I have a weird problem; I have both Firefox and Google Chrome installed
and Firefox is my default browser. However for some reason html files
are always opened in Google Chrome when opened with exo-open or
