Which distro are you using? I switched from SuSE 8.1 over
to OS X... though not Linux the new Max OS X is built off
of FreeBSD Unix... I just couldn't get over the
dependencies problem with Linux... Anyone know of a better
way of installing RPM's without having to track down a
bazillion other lib's and dependent junk?

I never thought I would hear myself say this... but I'm
REALLY starting to like this new iBook...

What's not to like? Which OS X version are you using? I just
got a Mac G5 for work with a 23" cinema display with an
iSight video webcam, and it is beyond astounding. I came
into work today just to try watching one of my DVD movies on
this new Mac. The movie just ended! Wow!

While I was watching the movie, I recovered all my old files
from backup tape that I had created on my old Mac. My old
Mac died on me after several years of near 24x7 use.

I also have an Apple Powerbook, which is a year old. Its
also a great computer. Both my G5, my Powerbook, and my old
G4 Cube run OS X 10.3.3 and it is the best OS I have ever
used, and I have used a hell of a lot of different operating
systems over the years.

Ayuh, vi is lots faster than Word. But not many ppl bother
to learn the keyboard shortcuts for Word. If they did
that, it'd be just as fast as
vi. On Windows I use a quick text editor called UltraEdit.
Works great and understands coding rules for things
like C, C++, PHP, etc.

There's a nice freeware editor on Windows named winvi. It
has menues, a scrollbar, and other mousey things, but vi
users will feel at home.

Vim (VIiMproved), which is included in many Linux
distributions as a drop-in vi replacement, is
available for Windows too:

One advantage of winvi is that it is a single small .exe
file, quick to run from a floppy or jumpdisk. I like
minimalist applications done in this style. Another
example is putty.
