It looks like you can also shorten "Back" to "b".
So far, I like this line-mode browser simulator much more than what is commonly available for the command line (lynx or links2). Does any one know of a modern implementation of it? (Where links are numbered instead of the user having to navigate around the document).

And Fn+Return can be used for Enter if the keyboard doesn't have a Num Pad, for the few Applications that use it.

"write" was used to DM a person. And "mesg" was used to enable/disable messages from being displayed if you didn't want to be disturbed. I used this a lot earlier in my career. Later came "talk" which gave a fancy split screen chat session.

Re:OpenBSD cron(8) now supports random ranges with steps

I read it as the 25 is just a simple step. So the first hour in your example would run at 0, 25, and 50. The next hour would run at 15 and 40, etc.

If someone buys the Kindle version, can you let us know how the formatting looks with all of its diagrams and code?
To get the PDF version I tried buying the e-book collection from InformIT, but Pearson (that runs the InformIT and Microsoft stores) no longer takes orders from people using a "@fastmail.com" e-mail.
