Trends and Truisms Posted Wednesday, November 03, 1999 - 4:43 PM by: Sensei | Submit Your News

Treena sent in this article, "An old boyfriend of mine used to laugh at me because I have always said that the minute anything I do starts to become really popular or trendy, I drop it. For some reason he thought this was incredibly amusing (in a patronizing way). Needless to say, he is no longer in my life. My aversion to trendiness stems from the fact that I do not want to be pegged as one of those people who picked up a particular activity or interest..." Check it out here.

Eterm for me, Eterm for you Posted Monday, November 01, 1999 - 9:52 AM by: Sensei | Submit Your News

Eterm is a copycat terminal with bonus options. Eterm uses Imlib for advanced graphic abilities. Many people love the clear terminals you see on alot of screenshots. I typically run clear terms with a tint or a darker shade for a bit of differentiation from my background. Otherwise it can be difficult to read my files because of the color display I have set within DIR_COLORS. Which I could edit, but I'm too lazy :). Check it out here.

Linuxnewbie.org is 'the place' for people that are transitioning to Linux from Windows and are having a hard time learning how to operate, install, and getting around the OS. I hope you find the information here useful in setting up your new and old Linux machines.

At Linuxnewbie.org we have devised a different system of learning Linux. Instead of following the boring HOW-TO's and reading MAN pages, "we" would like to act as a portal and archive all of the tips/tricks and "HOWTO's" users have created or send in to us. These files will be laid out in an easy to read and understandable format.

Linuxnewbie.org not only plans to bring you "Newbieized Help Files," but "we" plan on bringing you "Newbieized Help Files" on other OS's such as IRIX and Solaris as well as any and all distributions of Linux.

Our Credo:
"We the newbies of the Linux community, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish better documentation, insure cross platform understanding, provide for the common computer user, promote the general goodness of Linux and other OS's, and secure the Blessings of Linus to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Website for the Linux Newbies--Linuxnewbie.org" -sensei@linuxnewbie.org
