I suppose it was interesting in that it was another screed predicting
Linux's certain demise. But the article is predicated on the assumption
that Open Solaris is actually "open" when, from what I can tell, the
openness is all from the outside in.

I tied the solaris os's, not the open version. My humble opinion is, it's a 
great OS, but slow as slow can get. I wouldn't even class it as a minor 
threat to Linux in any shape or form... unless your client "requires" it...

Re: PXE boot server help needed

Thank's for the pointer. I think pxelinux is the same sort of critter as
pxegrub. I mainly use pxegrub because it is just a compile variation on
the familiar grub and uses the same menu as grub. I will have to see how
the PXE Linux thin client compares to rom-o-matic. What I like about
rom-o-matic is that you simply go to the site, fill in a few things, and
get a custom made boot image. So simple.

ADMIN: posting guidelines

# linux-users <at> linux-sxs.org 

Posting Guidelines  

New list member?  Great!  Welcome!  Here's how to make best use of this mailing list and get yourself a slice of
the best Linux help available anywhere.  Now read on ...  

### TESTING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION 

Errm, first a delicate point.  Often users accessing a list like this for the first time don't realize that
mail doesn't show up immediately, certainly not for several minutes, and maybe not for some hours.  In the
old days, it took as long as the camel bearing the news took!  So some tend to post "test" messages.  Please
don't! 

It really is a netiquette faux pas; it gets on the regulars' nerves and will likely get you flamed.
Especially empty test posts.  If you insist on sending a test post, please entertain the regulars with a
(not too off color) joke, or entertaining story. Prepare to have your test post graded by one of the
regulars (a.k.a. old-timers).  

### YOUR POST 

You may notice that we occasionally get many hundreds of mails a week here. That's a lot of mail, and a lot of
reading for the people who read this list, who, after all, are the people who are going to answer your
questions.  So it's in your interest to reduce the amount of reading they have to do.  Often, you can get an
answer faster without posting your question at all.   

Before you post, you should try: 

  1. Reading the manual for your system.

Not entirely true.  Because I also run OS X on a Mac, this counteracts 
the problem.

Yes, for that ugly mug, it's probably true.

It would be erroneous however to generalize such.
