For your information, there are many other OSes other there that don't use what you consider to be a "100% intuitive UI." Indeed, the poor Windows or Mac OS user who never bothers to learn a shell (command- line) utility of some sort are really short-changing themselves. How much better the Mac OS became when they switched to OS X (a BSD/Unix variant) and it was finally possible to do *real* command-line operations in the OS!

Yes, this seems to be your attitude about everything. And, of course, if you've created one of the products, you feel that all the others must be destroyed. Earth to Rene -- people have different tastes. Despite your desire to be the fascist dictator that tells everyone what things are and how they should use them, the world works quite nicely with a wide range of choices. Sure, it would be nice if you only had to develop your software for *one* system. Alas, the world isn't like that. The mere fact that you are messing around with Linux (finally) demonstrates that you've come to accept the fact that there will never be a single platform that people use. Get used to it.

Yes, any time you can't accomplish something the way *you* feel it should be done, it's a bug in the software, eh? Why don't you learn the basics of Linux before complaining about bugs in the system? > There is no difference in > between root and the password, under Ubuntu. This sentence doesn't even make sense.

This was the *first* solution to your problem you got to work because you've never bothered reading about how Linux works and you've not spent enough time with the system. Hint: though it is totally against your nature, you might try *buying* a comple of books on Linux system adminstration and *reading* them before complaining about how the system doesn't work the way you expect it to. > There are not two passwords, > here.

Yet, in your infinite wisdom, you started posting away about "defects in the system" as though you were an expert on the subject. Ah! The truth comes out -- you've not bothered to RTFM.

There is a Troll > inside Linux, who hates me, and who plays bad jokes to me !!! Yes, that's it! There's a troll inside Linux. It's not your fault because you've never bothered to *learn* anything about Linux. It's never your fault. It's the troll inside Linux, that's it! hLater, Randy Hyde

Where is this "Standards Base" to be found ? What are the standard API calls and which are mandatory ... ? Google shows me tons of worksheets in all HLL slangs, but where is the definition of what's valid and finalised ? My KESYS use an API somehow similar to Linux (except for parameter pushing and protected INT-calls), so I may be able to emulate Linux but within the GUI of of my OS. __ wolfgang

These are valid, but they are all ongoing efforts, specially the Linux Standards Base standard, the first link above. > My KESYS use an API somehow similar to Linux (except for parameter > pushing and protected INT-calls), so I may be able to emulate Linux > but within the GUI of of my OS. Basically, to emulate Linux, you have to implement most of the calls mentioned in the Single Unix Specification v3, i.e. the second link above.

You really should start to provide arguments instead of your opinion. Didn't you implement RosAsm's user interface in a way you prefer and which greatly differs from the preference of most assembly programmers? How ridiculously arrogant!
