Thanks for the wonderful explanation of these concepts. I think Hicks and
company ought to add an appendix to the new 'good book' called "A Few Linux
Concepts for the Advanced Slacker" (or something like that) and add your
posting to this section. Obviously, this section can be a "growing" thing as
I'm sure more and more "experts" will be willing to contribute postings like
yours when asked the question.
Thanks again. To paraphrase Scarlet, (standing on a hill with a handful of
dirt and a ominous sky)
"I will never be intimidated by /dev again!"
(Music comes up, camera retreats, curtains come down, intermission.) What am I
talking about? Someone must be old enough to know. Sounds like "Lives in
bin". I think Alan Hicks built his house there!!! Didn't any of you kids
ever see anything at the movies besides Star Trek or Matrix? :-) God, I'm
old!
