    If hitting I doesn't work, try disabling the graphical startup... I 
forgot how to do that. Anyone?
    Yes, the distros have the same basic commands, like ls for a directory 
listing and cat for reading plain Unix text files, but some have different 
packages, such as OpenOffice.org or Mozilla Firefox.

This is a test of the Really Sucky Email Client system. Again, this is only 
a test.
(Outlook is the only client that will sync with my Palm...)
