Anyway, I'd recommend renaming the so-called alphabit scripts longer and more descriptive names. After all, you've got a lot more than the DOS-imposed 8.3 limit, and Unix being hard enough to understand as it is, longer names like "network-monitor" might help the unitiated. I still claim that "mv /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/vivi" is a no-no! The other thing I'd recommend changing is the colors of the headings ... they're downright unreadable in some places. Otherwise, the hints for newcomers are appropriate and I hope they can get up to speed faster with your example ocnfig files, suggestions, etc. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
