Fedora Woes

[Elliott Chapin]

Try adding a line to /etc/profile; e.g. /usr/X11R6/bin/program-name &. The 
& means it opens in the background; i.e., the system is free to go on and 
do something else. It's fairly easy to guess where to put such lines. Of 
course you must be logged in as root.

As to Fedora - it's my favorite so far; except Mozilla gave me some 
mysterious problem after operating fine for a while. Perhaps there was a 
workaround, but I didn't bother - got Opera instead.
