Re: Free Opera!
I know what you mean Kipax but lets be honest, put a modern user in front of lynx and they would have a heart attack!
Yes its a browser but not in the sense of the word that people today would recognise. |

Re: Free Opera!
Take away all there pretty buttons and colours and they will think the world has ended
thig is.. even home computer users where aware of DOS and setting up sound cards for games etc... they dont even have to do that now ..Saying that.. I had a belly full of shell accounts, command lines and two colour screens... I have to use ssh a lot for work and crave a few buttons and mouse |

Re: Free Opera!
16 then there on your own internal system yes? I have various ssh accounts but couldnt envisage needing them all at once.. mebbe a couple ... if watching live error logs
i aint a sys admin and only use ssh to get down to nitty gritty problems or handle stuff like mysql that are too big for phpadmin to work on. some other bits but using less and less now thank goodness. nowerdays I have to have my static IP as a lot of sys admins wont let you ssh in otherwise.. so i pay the couple of quid extra for static |

Re: Free Opera!
16 is quite low amount tbh, We have 8 build/test enviroments across ~30 boxes with multiple workloads(partitions) on each each with virtual IPs I can be working on most of these at the same time. If things are going pear shaped then it gets rather crazy.
PS, I haven't managed a meet yet |
