Anything kicks "OK/Cancel"'s a$$ ;-) > I just suffered a major Mac OSX crash...some hw problem that I haven't yet pinned down. But practically all my data is back now, thanks to third party proprietary software tools and loads of help from Mac users. Similarly, when I have problems with my RH9 installation, I get help from this and other users. But in comparison, although there were some sneers here (I thought) about Mac's Unix framework, the level of help and ease of fixing a serious problem was a different grade. I am sure a command line recovery would have worked pretty effectively, but would have presented me with a steeper learning curve, instead of which I got a clear and simple graphic utility which allowed me to see my destroyed files and save them back to my remote hdd with a series of clicks. I used to be a fairly neat hand at Windows, but can't even imagine wasting my time fixing its problems when they arise, and with the level of weaknesses and attacks commonplace today, that is just too often for my comfort. Looking back on the last 15-16 years of Windows development, I just think that Gates lost control, and perhaps was seduced by the incredible success and money. Yes, you can fool most of the poeople most of the time, but for someone else to do it better takes a fresh approach - Apple had nothing to lose and so could gamble on Next's experience, but the Linux world does not seem to be quite grasped of the urgency of the opportunity - at least not in India. I have seen some attempts from India to do creative things, but on the whole depressingly little - certainly too little for the kind of interest levels and keenness one sees on this and other lists. I don't know what the issue is, but instead of moaning about Gates' failures, we should look a little inward and evolve a way to bring out something better for ourselves. Vickram

Just visit http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ or http://shipit.kubuntu.com/ depending on whether you want Ubuntu or Kubuntu, and get a stamped CD for no cost. Cheers, Debarshi

fc3 (tecra 8100) and fc4 (desktop) function keys settings
by Abhishek Daga 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

I am using FC3 on a tecra 8100. Connected via ssh to a remote machine running an application written in c-tree. it requires the use of various function keys. F1 pulls up Help instead of doing what app wants it to do. F3 just spits out a character. F10 acts like the Alt key. Same for Fc4 on a std desktop. All function keys work as they are supposed with putty over winXp. Any ideas on how to resolve this where F1, F3, F10 do what the application want them to do and not what is predefined? Also, i can scp files from remote server as I am sshing into it. But can I download files from remote server on local machine using putty? thanks abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
