No, nothing is wrong with Ubuntu, I just find myself wondering if a different OS, like Solaris or something, would be better. Is there any important difference between a Linux and UNIX system for a newbie like me? It would be mainly for just recreational / learning purposes.
I had an old tower going with Linux on it for a while, but the motherboard finally went out.
I've been wanting to get another tower, and hopefully I'll be able to do what you suggest in the not-so-distant future..
Thanks for your reply!

Hi,
I have a dual boot server with Windows on C0t0d0 and Solaris 10 on C1t0d0. When I do a reboot it automatically boots with Windows as default without an option to boot onto Solaris. I want to set Solaris as my default boot.
any ideas?

XJUMP(6) Games Manual XJUMP(6)
NAME
xjump - a jumping game for X
SYNOPSIS
xjump [ -toolkitoption ] ... [ -private ] [ -graphic file ] [ -keymap ]
xjump [ -help ]
DESCRIPTION
Xjump is a jumping game where you are in a Falling Tower. The floor you are standing on is sinking with the rest of the building; you will
die once the floor gives way (disappears under the bottom of the display). To survive, you have to jump onto the upper floors of the tower.
Because the entire tower is sinking, the upper floors will soon collapse, too, so you have to keep on jumping to higher floors.
Your score is counted by how many floors you jump before you either fall off while trying to reach the next floor, or the floor you are
standing on collapses.
OPTIONS
-toolkitoption ...
Specify X toolkit options (such as -geometry, -display, etc.).
-private
Use private colormap.
-graphic FILE
Use the XPM graphic file FILE for graphics.
-keymap
Read keymap directly.
-help Display a summary of command-line syntax.
GAME CONTROLS
To begin the game, press the Space-bar from the highscore screen.
Once the game begins, movement is controlled by the Left and Right arrow keys. To jump, use the Up arrow key.
Note that hitting the Left or Right arrow keys many times will cause the player to go faster. You can use this to reach floors that are far
away. But be careful not to jump too far and miss! You can also change your speed while jumping through midair. If your reflexes are fast
enough, you can salvage a bad jump this way. Good luck!
To quit the game, press shift-Q.
