Hi everyone,
I have just started to use Linux and I had a question, it is
probably a really dumb question so please forgive me.
I am using Red Hat Linux 9.
I just installed a new Graphics Card and the system
resolution reset to default. Now if I try to up the resolution it tells
s mailing list together with several
other RedHat lists which can total over 2000 e-mails per day. A subject
line of "Linux Newbie" does NOT exactly grab my attention amongst that
lot. I came across your original message from the flame war that
followed! So please when asking quest
I'll second that.

Around IONA[0], "route" often rhymes with "root" in my experience.
As for the term "rooting": In my understan
"rooting" or "to root a box" means to gain unauthorized access to the root
account of a system. Or another way: to break into or crack a system.

You're joking right?

I think I don't really need to tell anyone what it means in Oz? Nothing to
