[Buddha-l] Linux as a buddhist practice

As it should be. Certainly, I should be moderated, as left-wing and
anti-authoritarian as I am. Only the foolhardy would risk some
egalitarian, commie, or atheist screed smacking their site/sight.

I do have, and use, the three 'ubuntu' One (8.04) series for 'rescue' &
trickery, demo & convert, etc. However, I do have, and use, older
versions of SUSe; so, I am un-trustworthy in addition to being foolish
enough to trust Novell's stewardship of acquired projects again.

NTYC: Yesterday, I began setting up a trial multi-OS boot (Mandriva,
SUSe, TBA, ...) each with multi-desktop/interfaces. Burns 40-50GB per
OS, sans source, with extra mount-points. 

NTYC (continued): KDE's newest Menu scheme cause problems because I need
to see the hierarchy drilling down to the executable; there has to be a
Setting somewhere to not Overwrite/Replace.

I speculate that the refillable fountain pens, for under $ 100 (USD),
consume disposable cartridges. OTT (Other Than That), me, too -- the
grumpy dynamic, that is.

Neighbors dispose of 4-5 full trash bags plus recyclables every week --
averaging over 2 full-sized trash bags person per household plus their
'bulk waste' heaps of mainly household items 2+ times per year. Whereas,
I seldom have a 'bird seed bag' full plus recyclables.
