Issues
The following may reflect my own ignorance rather than an actual shortcoming in Linux:
- Lack of a mechanism corresponding to ActiveX (as used for app
development, not as used for deploying apps on the web)
- Lack of an application corresponding to MS Access (yes, you can do all
the same stuff with various available tools, but not quickly; v2.0 of OpenOffice is apparently going to include a tool which may be a step in the right direction)
Useful Commands
- lspci - lists all PCI devices found
Miscellaneous Fixes
- Time Zone: If the KDE Clock-setting widget seems to be
refusing to set the time zone (or your system clock is refusing to show anything except GMT time), this command may work: ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/NewYork /etc/localtime ...where "/America/NewYork" should be replaced by the appropriate file for your time zone. I have not been able to find any documentation on this feature; the command was suggested to me by someone on the #kde forum at irc.freenode.net (see [1]). Remember to use the console "date" command to verify what the system clock is currently set to. --Woozle 08:45, 23 Apr 2005 (CST)
