Just wanted to tell that FC2 runs fine on my Dell Inspiron 8600 with the Radeon 9600 on a 1900 x 1280 display. I just had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace 'vesa' with 'radeon' in the 'Device' section and adjust the 'Modes' in the 'Screen' section to '1920x1200'.

Issue 98: Emacs: the Free Software IDE Posted on Saturday, June 01, 2002 by Charles Curley "'Many people waited a long time to have nice IDEs for Linux. While everyone else waited I just used Emacs.' -- Thanyne Harbaugh, President, Provo Linux Users Group "Emacs is well known as an editor, but calling Emacs an editor is like calling the Queen Mary a boat. The source RPM for Emacs 21.1 is some 20MB--huge for an editor. You don't have to use all of it, but sometimes it's nice to know it's there. "Emacs is heavily customizable, which makes it very flexible. For example, I am writing this article with Emacs and will spell check it with Emacs. ``Well'', I hear you saying, ``if it's good for writing articles, it can't be very good for developing software.'' That's where Emacs' flexibility and customization come in; you can use it for either or for something completely different. Want to see a shrink, play Tetris or manipulate dates in the Mayan calendar?

I've installed the J2SDK1.4.2_04 from Sun and have added the JAVA_HOME environment variable ( = /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04) to /etc/profile.

If it is for 'just a server', you can be better off with something like ClarkConnect (http://www.clarkconnect.com/): Better pre-configured base. If better is in better support, yes, RH prommisses ;-) to be better. If better is in better software I don't think there is much difference between any linux or unix implementation: most is from the same code-base. > > We used old Red Hat versions.. but.. after upgrade to the Fedora..
