Linux is not Unix, it is a clone. We don't need to be eternally tied to historical ideas from the 70's and early 80's. Unix is not a perfect system, there's no such thing, by the way. We should be struggling to evolve it so that we have less work maintaining it, without losing the strong technical foundation that we all love. Our time is way precious to spend in configuration files that could be easily discovered by the system. I agree, though, that should be some way to manual tweaking, if needed so. -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading. Q: Why is top posting so bad? ------------------------------------------- Denis A.
