  1. smb browsing (corel filemanager?) on Interview: Ask the KDE Developers · · Score: 3

    Will the features from the corel filemanager be part of kde2, in that case, will it be corels code or another implementation?

  2. Re:ISO images/console on OpenBSD review at linux.com · · Score: 1

    screen is your friend, It saves your ssh sessions even when the net connection fails for a moment.

  3. mosix? on Interview: Ask Alan Cox · · Score: 1

    Will we see mosix or mosix like functionality in the main kernel distributionin the near (far) future? If not, what are the main issues?

  4. I think wired ethernet IS different on Inexpensive 11megabit Wireless LAN · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember that ethernet NICs listens on the line and sends packages when its not busy, hence sometimes two or more NICs decides to send at the same time, thats when the collision led lights up.

    Token Ring on the other hand passes a token around and a NIC can send only when they have it.

    Just my understanging of it though =)
    Im sure there are lots of people here who can tell me if Im to far of base.

  5. cypherpunk/cypherpunkg on Playstation 2 Under Export Controls · · Score: 0

    besides, the registration is free after all

  6. one file, one dir... what�s the difference? on Rasterman Summarizes his Red Hat Leave · · Score: 1

    Whats really the difference between having one file with many subsections and many subsections with one file. Im sure it would be possible to have the whole /etc contained in one database and have a /proc like interface, but I dont se the point.

  7. about mosix... on 'Black Lab' Linux For G3 Clusters · · Score: 1

    When will it go into the main distribution anyway? I gather its gpl nowdays so it shouldnt be a license issue. After all, its a feature that no mainstream OS is providing currently. I belive QNX and hence AOS5 will though.

  8. So Carmack doesn�t know what he�s doing then?;) on Linux is Not Red Hat · · Score: 1

    It seemed to me from the latest .plan file that it was metrowerks IDE that got him into linux.

    Could be my scewed interpretation though.

  9. Like PIPE�s on steroids on GNU Window Maker 0.60.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Someone here at /. described it like PIPEs on steroids. That is enabling the unix filosofy of having many really small programs that does one thing really well. I imagine all things like file dialogues, color selectors, spellcheckers and maybe some form of datatypes. Every part of the system using the same component for something, thereby exchanging it fore some other with more features or lesser resource requirements the change will affect the whole system.

    I think OS/2 is the best example of this being actually done, and it might be its not absolutly necessary having a DE for this to happen. But then again, what do I know?

  10. Re:I have removed teh cards with no problems... on CPU Cooling Insanity · · Score: 1

    Do you mean arstechnica? They did an article some time ago with links to lots of related sources.

  11. Re:Clever block ordering for fast reboots? on Ask Slashdot: Faster Reboots? · · Score: 1

    Its been done on windows to reduce loadtimes of applications. I think the first one was called windrenalin but now its part of w98.

  12. There is a good howto on Mosix now GPLed · · Score: 3

    http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Parallel-Processi ng-HOWTO.html

    It goes trough a lot of the issues involved, hardware, suitable tasks and existing solutions.

  13. Re:Interesting. on Mosix now GPLed · · Score: 1

    Ive been lurking on the mosix mailing list for a couple of months and I must say its really low traffic. Its not the place where such discussions go.

  14. simple mirror @ http://130.236.249.188/ on Mosix now GPLed · · Score: 3

    just the archive, no docs or anything

  15. Oh please on SGI Hiring 5+ Linux Kernel Hackers · · Score: 1

    Its an obvious reference to the movie with the same title, or if even that was taken from an old expression. (Im not an english native speaker so I wouldnt really know).

    You dont slam armstrong for saying "a giant leap for MANkind" do you?

    But then again, I cant really say that I know what its like to be a woman in this industry. It might be like one of those thins you smile smugly about the first time but really gets on your nerves the twentieth time.

  16. samba on Ask Slashdot: Live Update Web Pages on Linux? · · Score: 3

    You could do it with samba, the users would save their files to a network drive like usual (in w98 and NT you can map sambashares using ip instead of wins names). It would also be easy to set up the right create masks to get the permissions right.

    Im sure there is a lot of reasons for this not being a good idea, in that case please enlighten me cause I was thinking of setting up something like this


  17. Re:Hey, wait, tell us about CODA on Ask Slashdot: NFS on Free OSes Substandard? · · Score: 1

    You can give different priorities to various files or directorys, ie so that you dont fill the cache with just mp3s.

    You can also preload, that is, if youre going somewhere with your laptop and know youre going to use emacs you can do some magic to make sure all the necessary files are cached.

    Clear conscience is nothing but an expensive form of luxury

  18. Shortage of good domain names... on Everyone and Their Brother Opens a Linux Site · · Score: 1

    How about linux.reg.tm ?

    Actually Im surprised that reg.tm isnt registrered yet.

  19. Permedia2 on Updated XFree86-3D FAQ · · Score: 1

    Im no ace on this kind of stuff but doesnt the permedia2 chip have som kind of geometry engine?

  20. C on really small machines on Ask Slashdot: How Powerful is Your Computer? · · Score: 1

    I have a C compiler that I can run on my HP 95LX, I think its called p(t)gcc (puny or tiny) and is somewhat free. Its not entirely ANSI C though =(

  21. Microsoft uses Solaris + FreeBSD on FreeBSD 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I think www.dejanews.com is run by a bunch of linux machines.

  22. Config files == source? on PC Week Reviews 2.2 · · Score: 1

    Actually there is one cache related setting you can only do in the source, something about honoring the "write directly to disc" flag. I turns out windows clients use this bit more often than they should, so theres a big performance gain disabling it. I read it some time ago on the samba site, might not be valid in 2.0

    (sorry bout the english)
