try this (again, needs cygwin or linux): rm $(ls -Ac | tail -n $(echo $(($(ls -A| wc -l)-10)))) test it first and make sure you have backups.

take a look at rsync

rm -f /etc/mtab; ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

oh well

Hehe, I also know the pain of rebooting via ssh and finding it doesnt come back up, or worse, uninstalling the network driver / bringing the interface down / killing the dhcpcd

ipconfig /renew <---- that sometimes works, quite difficult to figure out where the problem is in windows though

Personally I find vsftpd the easiest ftp daemon to configure, I would guess it is in ubuntu.

I usually just google, i used to know a good site, cant remember the url, might be: site: http://www.driverguide.com (or maybe .org) username: drivers password: all dont know if that even exists anymore, but it was always the one passed around in forums years ago.

The good thing about unix based OSX is that there is much, much more open-source software for macs (or that can easily be ported), yeah, you'll need X11 and such.

If they are faulty, surely dell must replace them regardless of warrenty, or am I mistaken here.

when doing the query, add "LIMIT 0,20" to it, the 0 is the start, and the 20 is the number to get, have the script change the first number accordingly, simple

hehe

Yeah, some of weird al's stuff is hilarious, another funny band is amateur transplants, free download (link: http://www.amateurtransplants.com) (Nothing at all and London underground being the two best songs there IMHO (downloading the latest one now)).

Cool, maybe this should go in a wiki somewhere, I think there is one on this site, or maybe send it to the zimbra project or tldp.org.

Im waiting for them to upgrade my TV to a full telescreen!

Hmmm, Sounds like: when they ask you, you have to either give them your key or decrypt it for them. How long before a proper uprising against the uk govenment? Cant be long

A smaller screen resoloution might help the text size thing, It is possible to set the mouse click speed, not sure how to set it for particular users though :/

I had the beta, I didnt install it (didnt want to modify my desktop and stuff) I was looking at the screenshots and examining + running the scripts manually, seemed to configure everything nicely I see your point on the livecd thing, but it would be cool as an optional thing, eg: install this on your linux server, or just boot this cd? Oh, quick note, not a big issue, but maybe a potential improvement: Xdialog rpms are included for i386, i486, i586 and i686, this seems a bit unneccessary, i386 binaries will run on i386,486,585 and 686. If it were an application that would benefit performance wise from being optimised for the architecture that would make sense, but this wastes space. Karoshi looks really cool, looking forward to seeing where it goes in the future *stops spamming the forums with insignificant bugs*

I think this is a "feature" to keep them logged on for ages after disconnecting (cable pulled out, machine switched off, crash, etc), to allow you to recover their work. Dont know if there is a way to turn this off, it gets on my nerves all the time with the servers refusing to log me in because my dead sessions are still logged in (or I left a load of other machines logged in ).

Tested karoshi out a bit, very interesting, not quite a distribution, not quite a configuration tool... The installer worked fine, that runs without kde no problem, just uses Xdialog, also, with some modification runs with plain old ncurses dialog. The way everything works after installing is very interesting, seems to just add some icons to the kde desktop etc. Maybe these could all be made into gnome and xtdesktop icons also? It seems to be pretty closely tied to kde Would be quite cool if karoshi could be made into a bootable distro, knoppix would make a nice base for it as it includes kde. There are many knoppix remastering tutorials about. If karoshi was on a bootable cd, it would be easier to use and there would be less difficulties with software requirements, version incompatabilities, etc.

A while ago I was experimenting with some kix logon scripts someone else had written to try and make them faster, discovered that the logon time problem was elsewhere and left the scripts alone. The language looked interesting and well suited to login scripts and such. More powerful than batch files, but doesnt come close to linux/unix shell scripts!

Sent a week or so ago (when it was first mentioned on slashdot) from my gmail account. Maybe they ignored requests on that day due to high volume of "just curious" people coming from slashdot?

try xpdf, gpdf or kpdf, all are faster than acrobat reader, although they lack some of the more advanced features and the interfaces arent as nice, but still, much faster.

Google havent sent me a link yet I added my address to be sent one...

Downloading now, doesnt matter that I am downloading the tarball instead of the iso, does it? As the iso is about 13MB bigger, and I'm using Dialup here (stupid BT). Will attempt to make it run in: Suse 10 in kde Suse 10 in gnome Suse 10 in Xfce Suse 10 in fluxbox DamnSmalllinux (why not ) Debian Sarge (virtual machine) I will tell you all how it goes. The screenshots look quite cool.
