There is a HOWTO out there that tells how to upgrade to a bigger hard disk drive, he should have read that at LDP. Why is it stuff like this makes it to 'ask slashdot' rather than things that are not documented?
I hvae used Solaris, and yes it does scale better than Linux, but LInux is working on this, and will probably someday scale better than Solaris.. thinks about that...
there are some posts here that say that TCL is dead.. I think not. THere are several companies that use tcl internally, SCO is one of them, as well as AOL, and I have heard that Cisco also uses TCL. Perl/Tk is also very much alive, as TK offeres a very nice and easy way of doing a GUI for Perl. Being someone who has used Tcl/Tk I have found that it is a quick way to bring a GUI alive, and also extremly good for prototyping an application. Once one masters Tcl/TK it can be a very powerful scripting language. Although I have not msatered it yet.
hmm if this is Intel IOAPIC then maybe I can get a DUAL AMD motherboard soon.. 2 600Mhz CPU's shure would scream.. it would be nice to see kernel compiles in a minute or two
gee I am so glad that the DOJ is on top of things. (LOL). THis just goes to show you that they do anything to put there competition out of business. ANYTHING. And the DOJ is doing nothing about them. Somoen needs to crack and destroy there server soon.
gee there are some bugs in 2.2 that should be fixed first. I hope that they still support 2.2 and make improvements to it and do not just plan on stopping at 2.2.11 or 2.2.12. What is the rush for 2.4? why not just clean up 2.2 or is that not possible?
The only problem with dooming UNIX is that it is better than windows will ever be. The simeple fact is that Solaris is better than NT, as a server by far. Yes and the benchmarks prove that. Why do you think companies like Mindspring which is one of the larger ISP's (I think #3 in the US) use BSD? And they are not the only one. HOTMAIL Microsofts own toy uses Solaris and some HP servers, why o you think they ported there Internet Explorer to HP and Solaris. It certainly was not out of good will towards Sun. Yahoo also uses some type of UNIX for there servers, I believe it is freebsd or bsd but am not sure. Because UNIX is better than windows NT, and if Linux becomes more like UNIX than it will certainly become a better server than NT which is where it is heading. I think that we need choice and competition. Maybe with some Competition for the desktop, server, and palmtop markets Microsoft will be forced to makes its operating system better.
USE WHAT YOU CHOOSE, IT'S YOUR DATA TO LOOSE. I HAVE A CHOICE, I CHOOSES LINUX!
yes it would be cool to see Powerbuilder on Linux, but hte license for NT is already $3000, could any linux user really affor this or woudl they be willing to shell out the bucks?
when I was growing up I was not able to see R rated moves till I was almost 17. children should not be subjected to the violence at these moves, thus the ratings.. parents should be responsible for there kids.. it sounds like you object and what are you 12? violence in movies and games does desensitize.. normal phichies can handle this better than one that is slightly off.. I am glad that blockbuster has decided to not rent R moves to under 18.. THATS is why they are R! I was at a movie this friday night, it was the 10pm showing, and some lady took here 2 kids to see the Generals Daughter. Now there was a little language, and there was some sex, and also some gross scenes, and it was fine for a mature adult, but a 4 year old kid who can barely sit still in a movie does not belong there with or without his mother, making noise. The mother was obviously on a date and had to take the kids. This is poor behavior on her part. She shoudl have never been let in withthe kids, they distracted the rest of the theater, and they viewed material that they should not have been exposed to at such an early age..
Installing Windows isn't easy, either. The difference is Windows comes pre-installed on most PCs, while Linux doesn't. You need more vendors selling Linux machines.
agreed.. I have installed win3.1/ 95/ NT.. the most.. most people who I know who installed Linux for the first time had a hard time dealing withthe/dev/hda and/dev/hdb part of the installation (redhat and SuSE distros that is)
A: Right now, NT is faster at some things, Linux at others. Each have their strengths. The biggest problem with Linux today is it doesn't scale to a large number of processors. We do two processors well, four passably, and eight not at all. The target for the next release, in the fall, is to be much, much better at multiprocessor scaling.
NT is faster at somethings like 4 CPU's.. but Solaris is still faster than NT.. and Liniux is on its way to being a better UNIX variant than Solaris.. IMHO
A: Right. There's no central authority making decisions. There's no waiting around for a manager to give the go-ahead on a project. If someone doesn't think something is working right, and he wants it fixed, he just goes ahead and fixes it.
this is why a problem on my SMP MB has been fixed.. cause someone else had a similar problem and wrote a quick patch when we identified the problem.. now my system seems rock solid...
are you looking for filters to fileter out spam you are getting or is this for a network? if htis is for one person.. you , PINE and NEtscape can both filter spam.. I am using netscape filters.. not sure how good it is thou.. you should be able to set up filters in you MTA.. sendmail or procmail, I have never used procmail thou.. or you can write a shell script..
well I am sort of interested in the same thing..I am thinkning of setting up a fish cam, so that I can put movies of my fish up on the web. like at a certain time of the day when I am not at home have my machine take picts of the fish.. then connect tot eh internet and upload them.. the connect and upload is the easier part.. I am more interested in teh various types of video input systems for LINUX.. should be 640x480 and min of 15fps but prefer 30fps.. also need color.. they are colorful fish.... any suggestions on video input devices..
big brother already live in the UK from what I have heard.. there are cameras in many places that are high crime, and citizens are watched.. not big bro comes to the US as we start installing cameras everywhere here, and ID chips.. will they eventually embed them in the children?
looking over there web site it looks pretty nice. the next X should be really good.. I may need to get new hardware so I can really take advantage of the new features...
I have noticed that there have been several post of MS Products or Lotus Notes. While they maybe real good and may have lots of features they are not Open Source Calendaring Solutions. I think that the person who orrigonally inquired about this was looking SPECIFICALLY for an open source solution, not just a good solution.
Also I do not that they are looking at the current user install base of existing NON Open Source.
To me it seems that they are looking for a product that is both Open Source and a Functional Internet/Intranet based Calendering tool.
I use ical, but ical is not what they are looking for. I tried plan once and it was okay, a bit more than I need.
Does and Open Source Internet/Intranet based Calendering tool exist that allows multiple users to view other peoples free times?
SUSE ditributes commercial programs or at least they did in 6.0. I use Redhat now. They just had a directory called commercial or something. This is where they put software like adobe acrobat reader, and some other utilities that were not free or had odd liscences. Redhat can do the same thing. Heck all distros can. Just have a directory that is for non GPL/BSD/free software.
One thing nice about the suse installation is that it used to gie you information on each package by pressing one of the F keys or something. This was the same as rpm -qpi command that told you the vender and the liscense and other such information.
It would be nice if Redhat would add one thing to there installation. That woud be the ability to tell what a package is before installing it. Right now you have basically groups and sublists.
Maybe I should patent a method of thinking like a moron. I bet if I had the money I could actually get it approved. I have seen patents on lots of stupid things and software is one of those stupid things to patent.
One thing about patents thou, is that if someone patents software and you create a program that does what there program does but then make improvements on there exisiting software you can then pantent your stuff as an improvement, PROVIDED IT IS NOT AN OBVIOUS IMPROVEMENT. Better yet OPEN SOURCE your improved version of there software, and then put the but head who got the patent out of business.
Hey IF you are not using there code, and yours is different enough and there is a non-obvious improvement, this is legal! Microsoft did it to Apple.
both GUI X and console installation

I think that this is good. I hope that the nice GUI installation makes its way back to debian. The one thing that I found difficult about debian 2.0 was the install.
If debian gets easier to install, I may consider switching distros, or atleast running it too:-)
Someone asked why another distro? Why not? If the LSB does a good job, then we can have many thriving distros, and companies will not have to do anything to port from 1 distro to another. The program should work out of the box.
The only problems is the packageing deb, tgz and rpm for Slack, debian, and RH.
I think that this is good! IMHO and I am entitled to it!
I am not talking about NT4, 95, 98, etc, I was informed that Win 2000 does use some FreeBSD code!, by someone who is a beta tester for Windows 2000. Eat dirt!
there is a difference between BUNDELING adn tying in like Micosoft does. In Linux you can install what you want to or compile from source only what you want. In windows you get the whole package and it cost you alot more, and you cannot install what you want to you install what they want you to, and you have FEQ choices.

hmm seems to me that I have been able to visit the Linux site, but not the windows site.. and telent there.. hmmmm
read.. they are both problems we don't want to deal with
I never did like that show anyway, so I will not miss it. Maybe they'l put some better movies in its place.

I want one with an 19" LCD display please.. and 256Meg of RAM.. I must be dreaming. 2 CPU's please..
big brother already live in the UK from what I have heard.. there are cameras in many places that are high crime, and citizens are watched.. not big bro comes to the US as we start installing cameras everywhere here, and ID chips.. will they eventually embed them in the children?
I recieved one too.. only thing is you need an etrade account to buy it seems.. though it is a nice gesture..
looking over there web site it looks pretty nice. the next X should be really good.. I may need to get new hardware so I can really take advantage of the new features...
