==Issues==
The following may reflect [[User:Woozle|my]] own ignorance rather than an actual shortcoming in Linux:
*Development
**There appears to be no mechanism corresponding to [[ActiveX]] (as used for app development, not as used for deploying apps on the web)
**There appears to be no 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...
*Regular Use
**In Windows, if you create a link to an executable script (batch file -- *.bat) on your desktop (or anywhere), the link is executable with a double-click. Under KDE (in Ubuntu), I can't figure out how to make it execute at all without using a terminal.
 
==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 [http://freenode.net/]). Remember to use the console "date" command to verify what the system clock is currently set to. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 08:45, 23 Apr 2005 (CST)
