Sounds like you aren't running mountd and nfsd and/or portmap on one of the machines.

I have a love and hate relationship with Lisp. It's just that I'm *forced* to use Lisp/CLIPS/Jess for certain reasons ;) I'd recommend starting with the elm-art Lisp tutor which is great for learning the basic syntax and flows of Lisp. http://apsymac33.uni-trier.de:8080/art/login-e.html After you master that, everything becomes easier ;) Cheers, -- Chris Aniszczyk Gentoo Developer - http://www.gentoo.org - http://cia.navi.cx/stats/author/zx http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x274A275F

This book on LISP is referred to as one of the bibles of the Lisp/Scheme world, and is available for free from the MIT Press. http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/sicp.html On Sun, 2004-06-20 at 00:47, sageman(a)WPI.EDU wrote: > Hi.

Re: [Wlug] Books Of Lisp

by J Schonberg

I currently own a copy of LISP (Winston, Klause and Horn) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201083191/qid=1087711047/sr=ka-2/re… which I picked up only becuase it was a required text for a class I was taking. The text is comprehensive although for an introduction, I always felt that the Little Lisper was better. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0023397632/qid=1087710984/sr=… Cheers.

Books Of Lisp

by sageman＠WPI.EDU

Hi. Well, I figure since Lisp is such an important language, especially in GNU/Linux systems (favorite of Stallman afterall) I should pose this question to this group. Basically I'm interested in learning Lisp and was wondering if anyone has some favorite or recommended books that describe the syntax of Lisp. Additionally books related to introductory artificial intelligence work, with algorithms, design issues, et cetera, especially books with example Lisp code would be very welcome.

Wanted : Cobalt Qube 2

by J Schonberg

Is there any one currently on this list who might have a Cobalt Qube 2 around that they would be willing to part with? I'm seeking a Linux based MIPS platform to experiment with and this seems to be a reasonable solution. If you happen to have one, please let me know. Thanks.

Re: [Wlug] remote burning

by Gregory Avedissian

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm new to networking, and I'm playing with different possibilities. Probably makes sense to leave this one alone for awhile.
