Hi there Theo

It's around 50 years since I lived anywhere the English language
was used with any degree of universality and so I don't keep up
with regular anglophonic catchphrases and jargon. Ergo "whooshed"
eluded me until I looked it up!

And for that I apologize.

However, what I could infer from your posting headers was that you
were using a UNIX/BSD/LINUX/POSIX type operating system, and most
probably one of the BSD flavours.

And I was simply attempting to elicit some feedback on your
satisfaction with the operating system distribution you were
using.

I am currently using GNU-Linux -- the 14.2 64bit
Slackware Distribution -- and there are more than a few things
that annoy me about it (mostly the change to 64 bit) and the
inability of the latest Opera browser to handle all web traffic,
forcing me to use a combination of Firefox, Mozilla and Seamonkey
to perform certain tasks. (I hate KDE with a passion, but the
latest Opera version I tried had neither "Notes" nor "Speed Dial"
and so it was dumped forthwith,)

So I was thinking I might go back to 32 bit, or try another
distribution.

And so I was looking for your comments on NetBSD

Nothing heavy

Oh, duh. I should have figured that out. My excuse is the
context, I was not expecting computer related questions in rbr.

So I probably can't offer much. I used Slack for a box that
served my own domain (heise.nu) for some 15 years, but keeping up
the system bacame more work than fun. So I retired it last year,
and signed up for a shell account on panix.com. I've used Unix or
Linux of some flavor since about 1990, but never as a personal
computing platform--strictly shell and command line. My server
ran mail, news, and www, and that was about it.

Thanks for your input.

Your comment on your shell account is interesting because
personally I am finding myself using my shell on SDF (Systems
Dimensions Fortress - $1 for a lifetime membership) much more
frequently these days,

A long time ago I settled on PINE and slrn for mail and news.
One feature I like is that slrn can save posts to my IMAP folder
structure, and PINE can access everything. With lots of work
travel, I was frustrated with fragmented access to news and e-mail
(plus I wanted the ability to control my own spam filters), so I
set up my server to have one news spool (and mail archive) I could
access from anywhere. I also thought learning Linix system
administration would be fun--and it was, for quite a few years.

Today I still prefer the command line for many things. On top of
that, the local *.panix groups are full of interesting and clever
people. So I persist.
