I wasn't talking about *your* blog :) I have no idea why somebody would 
browse your blog from lynx...

Well, that's the part that was really *really* puzzling me... ;-)

  Posix defines some minimum requirements, it doesn't say what else the
OS may also implement.

  Also, I don't think the posix standard says much about how the kernel
should internally be implemented (only about some of its interfaces).

  Yes, I know you don't read current events on almost anything. Solaris
has worked on Intel hardware for quite some time, and Sun made it open
source also some time ago. Apparently they have gone to great lengths
to implement robust support for PC hardware. Some people even claim it's
better than linux in some aspects.

  The computing world consists of more than just desktop PCs. Those
mythical big servers out there somewhere don't run by themselves, and
they don't all have fancy graphical user interfaces (many of them don't
have a graphics card at all).

  Of course there are also a few purist unix gurus out there in their
caves who think that late 70's is the only real computer era and that
current computers are just toys for kids.

How do I print an image in Wndows?  I am told in linux there is a program called
convert.  How can one do this in Windows?
Thanks

Because of the usability and configurability (I'm not doing anything BIG 
with a Netra X1, more like something very small;). And most of all my 
laziness: because I already have working configurations etc for Linux 
for the stuff the machine will be doing. It'll just replace my ancient 
P200MMX -box, which is getting unstable (3 crashes in 2 years) and which 
has a HD that's keeping a hey-I-think-I'd-need-to-break-down -noise (and 
yes, the Sparc will be diskless installation).

If it wasn't Linux, it'd still most probably be OpenBSD, not Solaris.

  These are some of the coolest httpd requests I get:

xxx.xx.x.xx - - [05/Apr/2008:01:48:54 +0000] "GET /pics/th_screws.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200
1709 "http://warp.povusers.org/pics/" "Mozilla/4.0 (PSP (PlayStation Portable); 2.00)"
290 2004

  (There's a total of 1267 requests with that architecture.)

  alt+printscreen copies the current window to the clipboard. Then just
launch your favorite image manipulation program and past (or "acquire
from clipboard", or whatever).

O_O

My God... I didn't realise my total inability to spell words correctly 
was this unique on the Internet... [or that Google has trawled my blog 
in the last few days...]
