SUGGESTION BOX

I’m trying something new.
If you have some kind of problem – any problem – related to Linux and would like me to investigate for you and cover it here, then drop it here to the Suggestion Box.
I’ll have a look at it from time to time and cover what I think are the best requests. After a while I’ll clear the comments if the page becomes too cluttered, to make way for fresh, tasty, new suggestions, so, place your requests/ideas in the comments below!

    How about a tutorial on ssh?

    I’m quite displeased with your pooh-poohing gnome-terminal. You are
    just parroting the xterm maintainer, the guy who needs 20% of his
    xterm web pages to piss on others.

    How difficult can it be for xterm to install an example file
    .Xresources with all lines commented out? And have one entry in its
    own menu to launch the default editor and edit the file? How much code
    is that?

    What we have got with xterm is pure troglodytic Unix shit. Keep it and
    be happy.

      Hey franky boy…

      Lol, nice rant there :)

      You are just parroting the xterm maintainer, the guy who needs 20% of his xterm web pages to piss on others.

      Y’know, I went through his xterm pages and didn’t notice any “pissing on” others. What I did see though is a comparison of the capabilities/emulation, compared to other terminal emulators.

      How difficult can it be for xterm to install an example file
      .Xresources with all lines commented out? And have one entry in its
      own menu to launch the default editor and edit the file? How much code
      is that?

      Y’know you could find out by creating a patch to fix what you think needs fixed ;)

      What we have got with xterm is pure troglodytic Unix shit. Keep it and
      be happy.

      I disagree – what we have got with xterm is a decent terminal emulator, which actually has the best terminal emulation compared to all the others out there, in my opinion. Feel free to disagree – but if you do, at least do so in a civilized manner.

      Also, why post in the Suggestion Box? Surely the xterm article would have been a better place ;)

      Regards!
