When ever i use [Tab] for auto-complete in bash, if the output is more than the screen buffer, it automatically starts it under more e.g. $cd [tab][tab] x/ y.log z/ a.out b/ c/ --More-- Can anyone tell me, How can I change this more to less so that it can be <[tab][tab]> | less instead of <[tab][tab]> | more $cd [tab][tab] x/ y.log z/ a.out b/ c/ :_

Survey on Linux Desktop users by Data Quest
by Saswata Banerjee & Associates 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi Everyone, Data Quest is apparently doing a survey on Linux Desktop usage. I know because they called me to ask me some questions on their questionaire. The sad thing is that the guys doing the survey have absolutely no idea of what they are doing and apparantly not even connected with InfoTech. First they had a very unclear way of introducing the matter, asif worried that they will be asked something they cant answer. I told them that yes, I use Linux Desktop software. He asked me again whether I use Linux on Desktop. I clarified to him that we have stopped using desktop computers and everyone in our firm now uses Laptop computers but we use Linux in the laptops. The big joke is that he said "Oh, so you do not use Linux in Desktops.....Ok, thank you" and put down the line. They guy obviously does not know the difference between desktop computers and desktop software and that Linux Desktop software can also be loaded on laptops too. If anyone knows some of the senior managers in Data Quest, please convey this to them. I am quiet sure that at this rate, they will show a very low user numbers. Regards Saswata

Hello, The company that I am employed with is looking for a PHP developer with 3+ years of experience with website programming and at least 2 years doing PHP. Knowledge of/experience with the smarty template engine and the PEAR DB classes is desirable. Experience in setting up and managing web server installations on linux an added plus. The official designation will be of senior programmer. While you may not have a team working under you, you will be the sole developer for most of your projects in the foreseeable future. Most of the sites run PHP, but you may occasionally be called upon to provide maintenance for existing ASP sites as well. There is an approximately equal amount of fresh and maintenance work to be handled. We are a small company of ~50 people and growing every month. Cheers, Hrishi

I'm thinking of getting an AMD Athalon64 (939) / Athalon64FX and an nForce 3/4 chipset mobo. I would like some advice on where to get it from, (i live in mumbai) and the compatibility with linux. The shop name/number would help a lot. I checked on linux compatibility site andit seems that the nForce chipset is supported, but if anyone has had any personal experience, then it would help a lot. Thanks in advance. Anand.
