pmsumner at 11:16pm on 09/06/2003I love Unix :)
As an example. Instead of having to copy and change all my settings from my Nix box, all I need do is log into 192.168.0.2 and export DISPLAY to whatever, and voila, any X-applications can be used as if they're on my local machine.
I should really set up DNS instead of IPs, but with 2 machines (well, 3 if you count the router) it's not really worth it.
Ooooo, this means I can run GAIM in Windows too!!! WHEEEEE! And not have to worry about logs on different machines. And I have IMAP set up so although right now I'm using Outlook Express for my mail, it doesn't actually matter what I use.
I'm so happy in a geeky way :))
*runs gaim in Windows XP and has a mini-orgasm*
