If need be, it could be expanded to the full name "Network Information Server"
may be. it's also possible to use any better fitted name and have (NIS) at the end. problem is: many people want to do things hey have *seen* on a windows corporate computer. They are often ready to learn, but don't know nothing about Linux jargon. This (NIS) example is good for me, because I just had this very question asked last week: how can I have with openSUSE the centralized user system I have on windows (said like this by the asker). of course I just had to say 'NIS', formerly "yellow pages", but I'm sure other people have the question when I'm not here to answer :-) the question is way more difficult in non english/german/russian country, no manual available I just had to found a french manual for 10.2. There are nearly no more french Linux book and the few remaining are completely obsolete. I have to find my 7.2 (I missed a 9.3 french one) french manuals and print, thanks to my lazer printer, the smaller 10.1 pdf french manual (very difficult to find, it is not in rpm form) this is why the ycc should have a "newbie menu" with common, non computer specific wording (as an option, of course) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
