Hi, I mentioned some time ago that I had built a Gentoo machine for my 70+ year old dad and delivered it the day before Thanksgiving. Believe it or not, he's now got 16 days uptime and tells me he hasn't had any need at all to turn on his old Windows box! Evolution, Mozilla and Open Office seem to be enough to make his day fly by. Who says the Linux desktop isn't here? ;-)
Anyway, one thing I see on his machine that I don't see on any of my Gentoo boxes is a process listed in 'top' as netstat <defunct> I presume I can just kill it? (What is a 'defunct' process anyway?) Any idea what might cause this to get started, or how to trace down what did start it originally. Thanks in advance, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
