(...) rumor has it (i haven't tried myself) that a coworker of mine called to purchase a 10/100 nic and they said "i'm sorry, we don't make those any more" imagine our shock... we only own like 15,000 of them... oh well. (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Kick ass. Nice to see linux companies doing good stuff with their money. Makes me want to run out and buy a copy of mandrake linux just to support this. :) (URL) Matthew Miller ---> mattdm@mattdm.org Quotes 'R' Us ---> (URL) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) Yeah, it does. And port-forwarding and other advanced features too. It's definitely the best ssh client available for ms windows. (Too bad NetTerm doesn't do SSH - it has such nice fonts....) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm using the xfs that came with RHL 6.1... If I fire up xfontsel and look at arial, for example, and set the pxlsz to a variety of numbers, they all look correct and beautifully hinted. I can recognize individual character glyphs as being (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Mozilla (was: Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer)
 
(...) as far as I can tell, mozilla has no problems showing any kind of fonts - though I never bothered to install to many. What X server are you using? As a rule, font problems are related to xfs, and not to the application... (...) nope, no tricks (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Mozilla (was: Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer)
 
(...) I can't get TrueType fonts to display correctly in Mozilla (a build from two nights ago). Do they work for you? I'm specifying 'times new roman' and 'courier new' and 'arial' for the three fonts (serif, monospace, and sans- serif, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) I never used IE, and I will probably never will - unless they come out with IE for linux and then I'll give it a shot. I used to use NN and my MOC browser :P but now I've switched to mozilla, and I'm _very_ happy with it :) (...) errr... I'm (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) I'm amazed by how w3m can handle mouse clicks like that. :) Also pretty great to be able to pipe stdin to it. I wish it would keep stdin open like more does, though, to feed it streaming data. :) I had a lot of problems getting the popup menus (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer

  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) I love Linux, I hate Windows, but I have yet to see any Linux web browser other than Lynx which even comes remotely close to MSIE5 in how well it works. Netscape sucks, Mozilla sucks. But -- Mozilla will get better, and it will squash MSIE in (...) (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: oh no! 3com!
 
(...) Won't even be noticed here at UTK since we sold our souls to Cisco long, long ago. Unless they stop making 10/100 nics, in which case I would happily switch us over to Intel anyway. (25 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why MSIE sucks for the HTML writer
 
(...) Which browser are you using on Linux that you would call "better" than IE5? Seriously. Every time time I try some flavor of Netscape product for Linux it just ends up making me run screaming back to browsing on Windows. In fact, I would rather (...)

  oh no! 3com!
 
just in case some of you other admins hadn't heard... 3com's getting out of the high end networking business... this is a huge deal for me, since our entire backbone is 3com... all the way from switches to hubs to nics (esp atm nics) thought maybe (...)

I know it does not fit, but there is a internet madness right now here in Turkey, and every major isp gives free pcs to anyone who signs a three year contract (20 to 50$ per month depending on the configuration).

While we're off-topic, lemme just quickly complain about the way MS's content-generation "tools" use "Microsoft Latin-1" instead of the actual ISO 8859-1 Latin-1 character set. Urg. (URL) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
