SlackHumour

... On my way home from the University late in the evening today, I was sitting a few paces away from the back of our point-bus. A senior (4th year student), a few juniors (3rd year students), some sophomores and a freshmen were having a discussion on the topic "Should we have girlfriends?". Each one of them was putting across their views and opinions. And when they asked me to present mine, before I could speak, the senior requested with a smirk on his face, "no linux in the answer".

Subject: "vi" crashes the whole system

When I type the letters vi at root@Administartor # vi to start the vi
editor to edit the Xorg config file the whole system crashes giving me
a page of '~' symbols.  How do you get to the $ prompt when you are at
the root@Administartor # prompt?

dmesg | less

less is more, but more more than more is, so more is less less,
so use more less if you want less more.

If the Linux community is a bunch of thieves because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
