I have decided to learn what Linux is up to. I bought one of those Dummie books and there starts the pain!!! The man who wrote the book is pretty enthusiastic about Linux... Here is a load of mean tricks that I faced at the very first:

- The burning CD software (SONIC) was not able to burn the image CD that comes with the book.
- Tried to use another computer and, after 15 minutes of waiting time, when I thought that everything would be fine, there comes the glitch message...

hey guys, I am trying to setup syslog server in Ubunutu. But I couldnt find the syslog.conf in /etc & also sysklogd in /etc/init.d/, any clue. pls let me know if I need to install syslog server first.....

When I used to use a Windows machine, I became sick of its menu system. It takes several clicks to get to the 'all programs' menu and applications spam it with entries when they are installed. On the other hand it was easy to organise the contents of the menus, as they were just the contents of the "/Document and Settings/Username/Start Menu" and Allusers directories.

Soon however I started using blackbox ( BB4win ), and the Windows menus became even less attractive. ...

Here's a hello world C++ program to test the formatting:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello, World!\n";
cin.get();
}

I don't know if I'll ever use this, but here's a random post. The end.
