Just checking...

The list has been quiet for a couple of days, just wanted to make sure 
it was still up.

Both the general discussion and tech lists seem to be working, but I 
guess everyone is busy preparing for the start of college football 
season and/or Labor Day.

Join the ruby-talk group.  You'll have more than enough reading material :)

Don't I know it!  The Rails list is even worse, I had to drop off of it.

In any case, Ruby rocks!

It's not what I know that counts. 
It's what I can remember in time to use.

Second that!  I haven't turned back to sh or perl since.  What a great 
community it is.

text MODE in centos

Remember the DOS MODE command?  I have a centos server which I have
upgraded by setting the default runlevel to 3 (it runs faster now) and I
was wondering how to get the textmode to be greater than 80x25.  I did a
little ferreting around and read about the 'fbset' utility.  It looks
awfully complicated, to the point that i'm not even sure that it's the
right command to use.  Am I barking up the wrong tree?

Have a look at http://www.camerontech.com/framebuffer.html for the 
modes.  I use vga=791 on the kernel line of grub.conf for my production 
machines.

Have you looked at svgatextmode?  I haven't been able to get it to work 
right in recent Debian distributions, but it used to work great.  Back 
in the Potato era.  It might still work in Red Hat type distributions.
