Hello Luis: Here it is, Sunday, and probably you have already gotten your answer, but i know that in order to completely delete the message from Netscape Mail, you must empty the trash folder. Just a precaution (welcomed i might add) they instill into their product. Click File, then empty trash folder. Reason for an answer 5 days late is due to vacation ;) nWobone -- Linux RULES, windoze Drools ;p~~ -- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Now that the hardware is a commodity, the os is a commodity, so it will follow that apps will become commodities, and a day will come when people will laugh if someone wants more than $25(US) for an application. Cross platform technologies such as Java, Tcl/Tk, and other cross platform "enablers" make the possibility of renting software directly from the author a complete possibility. Imagine in the near future, if you want to use software, you go to a licensing page, pop out a credit card and get 6 months use for example $6, maybe ...and the app is downloaded and run direct from the author. The advantage is that the user gets current software all the time, and the author is getting paid for their work. > The main thing I'm looking for now is a replacement for M$ Publisher.

GIMP is a "knock off" of Adobe Photoshop, and is better in some of its features than Photoshop. It may have some of what you need. Another free tool you can use for limited layouts is Netscape's composer, While it's not everything you need, it will definitely be something you can use. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi Mark, > > Here is a question for the SuSE guys, from a new SuSE customer: > Which parts of the SuSE CD's cannot be copied? For example, > Redhat ships Metro-X, which you cannot freely redistribute. > Are there any similar restrictions that would prevent me from > making copies of the SuSE distribution? One thing definetely, the YaST is a commercial program which can not be copied without the written permission from SuSE. But for all freewares under the GPL come with the box, you can copy them for free, what you have to do is just to remain the copyright notice together with the new copy, as GPL requires.
