./ in PATH, always bad?

2001-07-13 Thread Dan Berdine
The Redhat machine I use at work seems to include ./ in the PATH variable, I can always run executables from my current directory without using ./ like on my home debian system. This has always seemed more convenient to me and I wondered why Debian doesn't do this until I read that it is consi

Hi, I'v been searching through the debian-user archives for information on how to set up my camera to do videoconferencing (or anything to start with really) and have gleaned some useful information, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I should look for general documentation on the
