There's an X server (MIX95) on Deathtongue now.
I added an X.dialup telnet session in HostExplorer to use it. There's a
shortcut to it in the Start menu and desktop.
I'm going to setup Eudora so that people can use it in a shared fashion
(because I don't think it was intended to "log" people on). I'll try to
make it close to "logging" on...
Any particular Java stuff?
If Sun's JDK is installed, don't install Microsoft's Java SDK -- its
"Package Manager" will take over the classes and muck things up. The
package manager works, though it completely takes control of the Java
classes away from the user (makes managing Java Classes into a "black box").
I'm inclined to use MS SDK because it integrates well with Visual J++ and
DevStudio. You can always ignore the WFC and MS extensions and you've got
normal Java.
Question:
I think there is a way to tie kinit and kdestroy to user log-on/off (I know
how to do it for log-on, not certain about logoff).
Oh, and I appreciate whoever it was that installed the Dvorak keyboard
layout on Deathtongue. :-)
