Hi. This is only slightly off topic, for what are old
computers without old
operating systems? :)
I just finished installing caldera linux on my unix machine in the hopes of
plugging the holes the spammers were using to forward mail through my site.
What IS it with these newer distributions that they have to MOVE everything,
change how ps works, and four million annoying little things? Look, Unix
has been around since the 60s, why do they feel they need to or should move
things around at this late date?

Well... one consideration might be that Linux is not Unix... It was
designed to look similar to the user, but that is pretty much where the
similarity ends...
