Completed shell script basics a week before
and now into python,…

Reading its online docs

Knoppix.. yes i installed it since i want to have a light distro with all features..
and the main purpose of this installation was to merge few of my partitions.. and have a organised os
but

i installed it yesterday and today iam not able to work there
I dont want to list that issue here..
here are the links for my problem..
i posted in LQ and another linux forum..

Hope and pray that i get response..
friends.. if anyone encountered similar boot problems.. please let me know wat u people did to recover and get things working :-S

This is book is nice to refresh quickly..
i need to look into tldp docs too, but its quite time consuming..
any thoughts reg the same are welcome and if any links are there like exercises or questions which can be solved using shel script then do let me know, since iam killing time by these stuffs only these days..

I was wondering where and why this comment comes..
I beleive that code should be like a mirror that it never needs any comment to be explained..
Here i talk about formatting the code and specifying things with good spacing etc..
But in companies they follow standards in which commenting and documentation forms a major part..
But they forget that when transparent code is now written and if that code is not understood by the person they gired to continue the job without having comments in the code.. then he obvioulsly should not be hired..
I havenot read many codes, but i feel even if i dont understand the code without comments then iam not fit for that particular code continue works… A framework can be given.. but explaining ech and every variable declaration.. really iam not for it..

But i did comment my code when i did it in my Final sem proj, but i dont think its a good practice…

All this rant coming after iam reading this article frm slashdot

This is the article

Anyway its upto the programmer and his sponsor

These are the links that iam using…

Study: Linux Exposure Causes Insanity
August 3, 2005

“Linux is unsafe at any refresh rate.”

That’s the summary of the latest report from the prestigious Blartner Group, this time warning that prolonged exposure to Linux and other Open Source projects can cause “severe, irreversible
mental illness.”

Take, for instance, The SCO Group. What started as Caldera, an innocuous Linux distributor, quickly turned into TSG, an obviously insane institution suffering from paranoid delusions of copyright
infringements.

“Linux caused Caldera’s upper management to jump off the deep end,” said the report’s author, Bill Blartner. “If it can happen to them, it can happen to you.”

In the report, Blartner coined yet another acronym, PLAGUE (Prolonged Linux Activity Generating Unstable Emotions) to describe the effects of Linux contamination.

“This PLAGUE can spread to even the most stable and reputable organizations, such as a legal firm,” he argued. “We can only find one plausible explanation for why high-powered lawyers would
agree to pursue the SCO non-case, and that’s sudden insanity brought about by exposure to Linux. It’s just that simple.”

The report also describes how the PLAGUE can cause “ordinary business school graduates” to believe in the fairy tale that they can make money by developing and giving away software for free. This bizarre attitude, according to Blartner, “is only one small step away from full-blown anti-American Communist psychotic propaganda.”

Blartner has been unable to pinpoint the origin of the PLAGUE, although he suspects that the GNU Project is primarily responsible for spreading it. “Richard M. Stallman has a lot of explaining to
do. This epidemic is rapidly spreading through the tech industry and will require serious government regulation to stop.”

While most members of the Linux community ignore the Blartner Group with a passion, some Linux longhairs did take time to express outrage at the organization’s latest anti-Linux assault. “Let’s face it, the only insane people are the pointy-haired bosses that swallow everything Blartner produces even though every report has turned out 100% wrong,” said one. “At least a stopped clock is right twice a day; Blartner can’t even match that!”

Thanks friends

We can set up any environment variable by following these steps:1. Search for a file called glogin.sql on your hard drive (Where Oracle is installed).

2. Open this file with the text editor of your choice and add the commands you wish.

Some of the Commands could be:
