a splash screen then it aborts?

Hello When I added a link (icon) to netscape (/opt/netscape/netscape) on my newly installed 7.2 KDE desktop, and click on it, it tries to open netscape twice, and netscape pops up a window that it found a netscape.lock. If I accept the "error", it will actually open 2 copies of netscape.. strange? Other icons work fine. This does not happen if I run xterm-> "netscape". As said, I just installed default system, no modifications since. Has anyone had this before? Where should I start to look for correcting this one. J. Tamminen

Hello As me being a Finnish, I believe that I do understand the choice that Mr. Torvalds made... It is the way of Finnish to get noticed of something that they can do right, and not get rich by robbing other people. Ofcourse someone could say that he would be better off if he made some other decision... But who knows?.. Is Bill happy? I don't believe so! I believe also that Linux did spread more wildly then anyone did expect.. Maybe there was no real "competition" out there :-) But one should not forget, that there is huge amount of other people involved, who should also get as much credit as Linus does.

From me, Thank You everyone who is involved in developing Linux-environment!

J. Tamminen Finland Ps. I almost know personally Mr. Tornvalds... I used to live about 5 miles from him.. :-) Never did see him though..:-( Computer Books For Less wrote:

Dan,

Is it just me or have they changed the headline? It now reads "The quiet revolutionary".

What does the bible say? "It is easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to get into heaven" Would you rather be riding with Linus or Bill when you pull up to the "pearly gates"?

I think he's a pope, and Tux is God. :-) -- MicroSoft Network may not carry this message without license to do so. License to carry this message requires a fee of $1000, payable within 30 days to Olle Viksten. Appearance of this message on MicroSoft Network constitutes an agreement to terms.
