Re: Getting started with conserver

Like this?:

# more /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost conserver\ console

I still get:

# conserver -vd

when it’s happening. Challenging
experiences need time to ferment,
and adventure is simply physical
and emotional comfort recollected
in tranquility." - Tim Cahill
