“What’s the best way to edit a .gif file in Linux?”

“The Linux world is full of good graphical-editing and
image-manipulation programs. One is the excellent xv, a program
that lets you read and write several image file formats, capture
screenshots, and perform other basic image operations. Electric
Eyes ships with GNOME, and this one is pretty sharp too. It handles
file exporting and has some nice integrated tools….”

I am running Linux on a four-processor box with a RAID
controller. When I try to do a shutdown and reboot (shutdown -r -y
0), the system returns this
:

                              Turning off swap & acct.
                                 unmounting file systems
                              Please stand by while
                                 rebooting the system
                              Stopping all nd devices
                              Restarting system
                              disabling symmetric IO mode....done

It never reboots. I’m worried that I won’t be able to reboot
remotely.”
