April 5, 2007 (5:10pm))Wow, I just read all the response to this topic. 
Many thanks to all of you who participated in this exchange so far.

I sure hope a few other newbees like meself got as much out of that as I 
did, it flipped a couple lights on for me. Really points to just how 
powerful this system is ... I just learned how to talk to myself 
digit-wise, lol.

It also made a lot more clear how the role of root is tied to the kernel 
and how neat it is to be able to open those terminals right from same 
keyboard, don’t even need a KVMsw.

Big Thanks,
Herb
