Word wrapping in Emacs
by Sandesh Singh 11 May '05

11 May '05

I wanted to know how to set up word-wrapping in Emacs. I went to the top level customization group -> Editing -> Fill and set a few options, but there seems to be no difference. Also, will the word wrapping work if I go back and press a few backspaces? Is there a way to justify-align my text documents? Like the man pages that come fully-filled to 80 columns (padded with spaces)? -- Sandy (http://sandesh247.blogspot.com) He is not only dull himself, he is the cause of dullness in others. -- Samuel Johnson

acers latop AD: can we do something ?
by Erle Pereira 11 May '05

11 May '05

Acers Laptop Ad in Times of India (today: 9th May '05), page 15.the "fine print" *** "the Linux that is loaded is a free version and would have limited functionality until another operating system is installed" *** this is really stupid!... can anything be done to educate the acer guys? this doesn't make any sense. It is extremely misleading. What "Missing / defunct " functionality are they talking about? I think it will take us very little time to get *fully* functional *free* *Linux* working on that laptop that they can give out. anyone has any contact with acer? Free software doest work like proprietary stuff which revels in *limited" functionality. Ads like these are _extremely misleading, damaging and do more to confuse people about GNU / FSF than anything else. more M$ fud ? c'ya Erle

Well, not > that I would, but if I could, wouldnt that be so cool? It would not. Apart from the moral and legal issues it is a pain to maintain upgrades to your code given the everchanging hardware and software environment. A case in point M$ lifted the bsd tcpip stack and yet their closed version has far more security flaws a few yrs later than a newer bsd and linux stack. quite obviously they do not have the resources to foldback new developments from bsd into their own stuff or the ie exploder which was also based on a NCSA rendering engine (afaik). > > b) Not planning to tangle with Suse or RH, but am wondering, > whether I need to "buy" 40 licences or subscriptions to RHEL or > SuSe when I could buy 1 and load on all.

In any case imo you are better off with Debian if you are not using RH's / Suse's services. Using their services allows you to concentrate on your bussiness instead of worrying about a million different things. It also helps a lot in pointing a finger when things go wrong (with GNU/Linux hardly ever). > > Since an "activation" is required, would i be able to start it at > all?

GNU/Linux is definetly a very happening place I assure you. Particularly in organizations with poor IT setups. And there are many such with 300 up pcs and a handful of servers. Why should RH be bothered with 40 machines, when the same effort can rake in the cash for 400. Which is why Linux on the home user desktop has not caught on as much as it should - it does not make commercial sense. rgds jtd
