Is This a KDE/Gnome Group?

You are certainly confused. I use a GUI, a Graphical User Interface.
But I don't run KDE or Gnome or anything like that.

And I can run any independent X app that's available, including many
that are packaged with KDE, like kstars.

And including any number of WYSIWYG editors. (I don't, because any
text editor that requires the use of a mouse is garbage.)

I use firefox all the time. And an excellent window manager
(ratpoison). And xpdf.

I also run a lot of console apps in 'xterm' because they are generally
superior to the X apps that supposedly do the same job.

Permissions on /dev/sd* devices

Change the permission rules in /etc/udev/rules.d to add the GROUP permission.
 

Because under udev (udevd) all devices are created dynamically.
 

Doubt vmware will say anthing about it ... search for info about udev.

Has any form of UNIX (ignorig POSTIX complient OS's that have an internal struture not all like Linix/BSD/Mach/...) ever had any kind of registry?

:) Ok. I don't think everyone would agree with that though.

I can imagine the AIX code being a larger hack than md.

You have to realize that a lot of things in Linux are
written with the idea of: What would we do differently
if we could rewrite it from scratch?

That can be a key advantage for the new guy on the block.

There are times when AIX's SVR2 roots show through.

The input volume defaults to zero else it would introduce noise into other
audio sources.

Find some kind of the control for audio volume and raise the gain to
something other than zero.

Hmmm, it looks like you are talking about the user utility itself not
just the kernel. Sorry, I didn't update the client this time so I
didn't see the issues. I just implemented my original firewall rules,
verified them and didn't go any further.

Ah. OK. That word "almost" gets scary sometimes. :-)
 

I don't have a printer on the box, so that shouldn't be an issue.
So it's off to find a copy of Slack 12. Thanks for your help.

That depends on your definition of "work". If, as Microsoft does,
you define "work" as "make money", Windows works better than any
other piece of software ever conceived.
