[snip'ing everything]
Guys, I've been away for two weeks and reading this thread gives me a very nice right-back-at-home feel. It had everything a good Factory thread should have: love, hate, flames, history lessons, smartass'ing, pointers to unpackaged software and POSIX standards (I missed an RFC though), even ISBN numbers and lastly, no resolution. This is what I call perfect e-mail entertainment. I want more of that! p.s. To my knowledge I'm the only one replying to this thread that is yet under 30 and thus I don't trust anything that was written here that isn't yet found on Wikipedia ;-) -- Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
