something.

It's gone! - So, there is something already to be thankful for.

Re: Where to obtain individual binaries for RHEL3?

While I tend to agree with Thomas, I also think they are being foolish.
If you are paying ofr this service, you need to review the agreement
you've made with them.  If this is a free service someone is providing
to you, then you should certainly abide by their wishes.

they probably disable lynx and wget because many automated attack tools
use those tools once on the machine to pull more stuff on.

find is a system resource hog.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppt/ 

Is a nice tool kit written in perl that provides a lot of unix
utilities.

If you install your own copies of things, don't put them in your path by
default.  Thatway if the machine is compromised thru your account
somehow, the attacker won't find the tools he's looking for.  Make an
alias that does it.  Don't store them in ~/bin either.

alias power=PATH='$PATH:/home/me/mytools'

Microsoft Vista is not an option

Interesting comments from a member of the press who apparently
evaluates computer hardware. Has Microsoft finally shot itself in the
heart?

Re: Microsoft Vista is not an option

Before you forward that article to the person in charge of IT for your 
company, be sure to read it.  It doesn't seem very fair, and it sounds 
as if it is based on speculation.  Furthermore, it is written from the 
perspective of a user with rather unusual needs from the perspective of 
the average company.  The main charge that it infects your system with 
DRM, though, is a concern that I have.  I just wouldn't base my 
purchasing decisions on this article. 

As I understand, MS Office documents will be "infected" with DRM in a 
way that may prevent one from using Open Office with those documents.  
THAT, imho, *is* something that EVERY company should be concerned 
about--that is, more unnecessary vendor lock-in.  That's the sort of 
sales pitch I will have to make if I try to make the case that Microsoft 
has shot itself in the foot.  (Please help me to make that case, if 
necessary.)
