Remove IE?

Check this out! My good friend da weasel just put me on to this tool he read about on a call center tech mailing list. What is it? “nLite is a GUI for permanent Windows component removal by your choice. After removal there is an option to make bootable image ready for burning on cd or testing in virtual machines. With nLite you will be able to have Windows installation which on install doesn’t include, or even contain on cd, unwanted components.” Unwanted components can include IE, outlook express, and just about anything you don’t want! Crazy!

Zsh Book Review On Slashdot

Slashdot has a review of From Bash To Z Shell. I haven’t had a chance to read the book myself, yet I can still tell you that zsh is nice!
