(...) yup, I installed it in /usr/local for all the dept. :) (...) bash? zsh :) (...) nod, pam is nice. (...) nog... heh, if you have to put gaim, put licq too?

  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) yah, true... but I'm bad about using rpm anyhow, I end up compiling my own stuff most of the time... I know I shouldn't, but it's a habit I'll have to un-learn... (...) no, even worse... it just stopped, no backtrace - it gave me a warning (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)  
 
  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) Oh yeah: those major differences are RH 6.[01] -> RH 6.2. RH 6.2 -> BULinux: - includes nqc :) - uses bash version 2; none of this bash w/ optional "bash2" silliness - kerberos4 (via a pam module -- much nicer than needing every app to be made (...)

(...) bah! (dan already explained what it is)... (not that we play anymore... we'd have no time for lego, and that's just unreasonable) :) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) Yeah -- disabling unnecessary servers is good, but not even installing them is better. Before, if you wanted the finger client [1], uou had to install the finger server, which is kinda silly.

  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) [snip a lot of differences] cool - I just installed it today, as an upgrade, so I didn't notice most of these... I upgraded the daemons myself as they came out, and wouldn't let it touch my inetd.conf, so a lot of these would be missed on me. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) Oh man, have I ever looked at it. This release of BU Linux is actually based on RH 6.2. Major differences are: - kerberos5 support (urg. we use kerberos4, so that's more annoying than helpful) - 128 bit netscape navigator by default - includes (...)

  NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
So, when we release BU Linux R1 next Tuesday [1], it will be the first [2] Linux distribution to ship with NQC included. (URL), if you care. [1] or maybe Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully Tuesday. Depends on the wheels of bureaucracy. [2] not (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
