Simultaneous X servers

[Dolda2000]

I type rather badly really, it's just that I have the ability to spot typos miles away by just looking at a text. That's one of those things that I'm especially proud of! =)

[majorwoo]

do you offer lessons for the typo spotting challenged?

[majorwoo]

speaking of typos...

i was in my home directory, went to wipe to folders

lesson08 and lesson07

so i typed

"rm -rf lesson *"

oops....

[Dolda2000]

Ouch! Are you serious? That's bad...

[majorwoo]

yeah it was obnoxious... thankfully rm -rf doesnt follow symlinks as i have links to a shared documents folder and a 20GB mp3/storage folder

I would still be super upset to lose all my programs/papers from college.

[majorwoo]

i am lucky in that regard actually

Christy (my wife) prefers windows still, so I have a /documents partition and a /storage partition that I export via nfs and samba from my server, and i have a link to them from my home, so i just killed the home directory. The most annoying thing i lost was my KDE Desktop folder, and next time I load windows im sure the missing profile folder will annoy me but all things considered, im pretty happy.

That said, one time I did reinstall my server and decide i wanted a bigger /documents partition, so while i was doing that i deleted and repartitioned... turns out, my backup on my other computer never finished copying - i guess windows crashed or something and never copied it..

I lost every paper I did in highschool/college -- that was annoying, really annoying..

(hence why i just bought an Adaptec 1200 to mirror with in case i drop a hard drive)

Just change the /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers conf file :

:0 local /bin/nice -n -10 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -deferglyphs 16 vt7
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -deferglyphs 16 -nolisten tcp vt8

this works on mkd 10
