Okay, This has moved to chat. No problem. But when showing someone my
Favorite OS <FreeBSD> and they see color in mutt and color in slrn
<Thank You SLANG> they like it. Color is pretty, It also takes away that
all UNIX-like computers are not in monochrome. It takes a little
harshness from the newbie. I also hate this too.. Linux does it.. Why
can't we?
I am no newbie to some but might be to others. I might not be able to
code, so I put what I can back to the project any way I can.
The reason for the aboe short paragraph is this OLD SCHOOL NEW SCHOOL
crap. This is an operating system that is going to mature no matter
what. At least we can try to keep it on track to were it is
attractive/secure/functional to any new user that hears about it.
Sorry for asking about ls -G in something other than cons25
TIA
