What does make them wrong, dead wrong, is a fundamental principle of Unix -- every tool should do *one* job, and do it well. You'll find that near the front of any book introducing people to linux. (Remember books? You probably still have some. They're very good for things like history, which doesn't change much.) In most such books, you'll also find an assurance that that principle is what makes *ix the triumph that it is, and all the works of Redmond the creeping disasters that they are. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
