Good to know. Here, in France, we are quick at suspecting any rich man, giving money away, to have to have some dubious idea behind his head, you know. It seems to me this one is quite the good guy for a good project, after reading his page. Don't you think so? :) Betov. < http://rosasm.org >

This does not exist under Ubuntu. How do you think i actually download and install Software, if i did not know how this point works? There is no need of "root", which is assumed, when "sudo"ing, under Ubuntu. A good thing, by the way... Betov. < http://rosasm.org >

Thanks, I'll check on this two, even I may have to wait until the 'standards base standard' becomes a trustable final definition :) Ok, at least I can check how much work it would be. .... loading I now got a list of function-names from "add_wch" to "zcat" and to which UNIx version they apply. But where is the description of this functions ? [parameters and what they are supposed to perform] "ADD a WC high" and "Zero the Cat" are perhaps talking names, but easy to misinterprete :) Am I asked to purchase a couple of books ? or is there any free online resource ? __ wolfgang

By the same logic, we must destroy multiplicity in everything. > To do that we must destroy everything in world except... one person. Ah, i forgot that one. Again the abusive generalization mechanism. :)) One logic may be correct here and wrong there. In the case of UI, there is no need of multiplicity. All the opposite. There is a critical need of uniformization. The only result, with having two different UIs, doing almost the same thing, under the very same OS, is with having the same work done twice. What is the interrest with having a choice, here? Well, you might prefer KDE, and i might prefer Gnome. And then? Can't you live with Gnome? And can't i live with KDE? And why not 2,879 UIs doing the same thing, with minor differences, while you are at it? Betov. < http://rosasm.org > |
