Hi readers!
For longer than I care to mention I am a reader of this publication(?!)
and from time to time suggestions surface that put me in trouble.
So recently a notice was published by one N.K. on starved Slack12 distro
which should do the slave work of a _server_.
As those notions are not strange to me (I did 'expert' install few
distros back, on 512M HD, just for fun) and stumbling on computer junk
in my garage decided to do something about it.
So a computer materialised, Slack12 CD contributed the <100 packages +
lilo, connected to local LAN, lynx went on web and everybody happy.
But talking to and shaking finger on the junk could NOT convince it to
start serving.

Now WHAT?!!!

Almost completely incomprehensible.

Exactly what kind of drugs do you experiment with, anyway?

He's been around for a long time - but I rarely know what the hell
he is talking about. I hope it is a non-native speaking english thing....

Did my 'experiment' in early '60s on hashish, never touched anything
else since except 'nicoffeine'. The Virginia+Turkish kind.
Does it count?

Who is still speaking 'native' English? Native to where?
I am now living in Her Majesty Colony and they would not know 'native'
or any other English if it fell on their head.
So 'scuse me, my 'other language' was learned not parroted.

Have fun

If I understand you correctly, 1) you are referring to a message I
posted here, given I am the only poster here initialled N. K. 2) you are
wondering what a "server" is, 3) you installed a server system like
Molière's Monsieur Jourdain, talking prose without knowing what prose
is, and now 4) you try to configure it by waggling your finger at it.

I don't know where Ulladulla is, but I think I like your country,
especially the light-hearted sneer at rationalism. )

cheers,

Niki

Language is created by the common folk. New words, and forms of speech are
formed from slang uttered by folks who can't speak properly.

Not being a 'native' English speaker - you got it right!
