I am not sure about the exact mouse buttons involved, but one sure way to find out is to run vi in a xterm/rxvt and highlight text. &nbsp;Then maybe click the middle mouse button to cut and use the left or right mouse button to paste. &nbsp;As you can tell, this is all editor independent, so if this works, it should work with emacs as well. &nbsp;I would refer you to your favorite window manager's site as this seems to be what the controlling factor is.<br />

Let me try those. Thanks.<br />

&quot;yy&quot; copies a line in vi and &quot;p&quot; will paste it at the current cursor position, in the EDIT mode, of course.<br />

"yy" copies a line in vi and "p" will paste it at the current cursor position, in the EDIT mode, of course.

I have several, easy Linux questions. Here they are:<br />
<br />
1.) I finally got X (the Windows GUI for Linux) to work, but the text is HUGE, and so is everything else. How can I change the size and stuff of X?<br />
2.) How do you copy and paste using emacs?<br />
3.) Where can I get more information on the exact installation procedure for Netscape Navigator/Communicator? I couldn't find it on netscape's page.<br />
<br />
Sorry if these seem easy, but my instruction manual is at the bottom of my closet... :-(<br />
Thanks.<br />

Several easy Linux Questions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
