  1. Re:They're available -- Read Other Post Below on Digital VCRs · · Score: 1

    thats true. of course, no one has got it yet.

  2. Re:Are you sure you want to get excited about this on Digital VCRs · · Score: 1

    you can always disconnect from the service and continue using your box. i fail to see how this is really important.

  3. Re:Video Editing on Digital VCRs · · Score: 1

    buy some commercially available software to do it..not everything is free on linux. there's loads of editing software on unix systems which should work on linux..check out computer graphics world or any such magazine. In any event you have to pay for everything on windoze.

  4. Re:Linux and Video on Digital VCRs · · Score: 1

    something wrong with your config. i get decent video (15fps) on my P-90 with an ATI Mach64. (150MB RAM, 8.4GB HDD - Matrox). Granted, that it sometimes slows when doing something such as web serving a client or transferring NFS data or syncing or some shit.

    1. buy a redhat 6.0 CDROM
    2. buy 1 K6 or pentium-ii machine as a server.
    3. buy 1 laptop (not too crummy..266 ought to do it)
    4. install linux on said machines.
    5. install wireless ethernet on both.
    6. boot, configure and enjoy!!

  6. Re:No Linux sucks with this on Digital VCRs · · Score: 1

    bet you cant run doze95 on the box youre trying to see video under linux on. i bet its a 386DX33 with 8MB ram. :) Actually linux video works fairly well on a pentium-90 ..i get 15fps. (150MB RAM, 8.4GB Matrox HDD)

  7. Re:Linux IS mentioned... on Digital VCRs · · Score: 0

    i recently did a hard disk copy (cp -ax / /hdd)
    and my cache increased to 96MB while the buffers increased to 42MB. (checked with /proc/meminfo)
    I copied 8 GB odd from one disk to another. Whats really weird is that the cache stays the same and doesnt decrease..its been like that for a day. anyone got any ideas whether the cache decreases ? it used to be 4MB cache and 1MB buffer before i copied the HDD across.

    They arent yet available. It's a "soon to be released under a nominal fee thing". Thats better than nothing of course, but i'd like to see and FTP site listing for it. Of course it would be real kewl to do the same thing on intel rather than PPC architecture. Maybe someone can do a port ??

  9. Will this work with PowerPC 601's ? on 'Black Lab' Linux For G3 Clusters · · Score: 1

    will this work with the old powerpc 601's that i have ?? they're not G3's or imacs but the old PowerPC with the 12 inch apple pc compatible cards...pentium 100 + powerpc processor i think.

    i think everyone agrees on this one. the LSB (work in progress) needs to be accelerated out the door.

  15. Re:Lets Boycott RedHat on Linux is Not Red Hat · · Score: 1

    dumb $hit. redhat makes life easy for many of us. try installing KDE on a slackware system and compare that to the simplicity of installing a couple of RPM's.

  16. Re:I totally agree!!! on Linux is Not Red Hat · · Score: 1

    oh shut up you dimwit. All the redhat distros do work first time out of the box..try that on a slackware system. yes, i have installed slackware on over 50 systems (and redhat on only 12). yes, i have written device drivers on slackware systems, installed KDE manually and other crap. redhat makes life easy, but you can install rpm's on slackware after conversion (and symbolic linking and all the other crap. Yes, redhat is trying to adopt the LSB. i dont see any reason to dislike them.

  17. Re:and microsoft is just a company too! on Linux is Not Red Hat · · Score: 1

    cos redhat is not forcing anyone or anything to adhere. Theyre trying to release all their software under the GPL. they include GPLised standard installers such as RPM, and are trying to get the LSB together. catch micro$hit releasing even 1 line of source.

    the internet doesnt force anything on anyone you dimwit. you can easily switch it off just like TV. its the people with guns and bombs and the censors who force stuff on people. ignoring the wishes of the millions of fans is a lot worse than ignoring a few morons who think any TV show caused the littleton bombings/shootings. get a life.

    actually linux, like most unixes is a 70's technology. WinNT is loosely based on VAX/VMS which is a 60's technology. Dragging 70's technology down to the 60's level is a disservice to everyone.

  23. Re:setUID ? on Ask Slashdot: Securing Web Servers Against Cracking · · Score: 1

    check if they have rws---- perms..the s is root. there are loads of programs which set themselves root..best thing is to recursively list your directories from root (/) and grep for rws or -s or some other combos..u'll be surprised how many root uid progs there are.

  24. secure the OS+webserver. on Ask Slashdot: Securing Web Servers Against Cracking · · Score: 3

    check /etc/inetd.conf and comment off the usual open services e.g. telnet, ftp, popxx, shell, login. install ssh and shadow the password file (redhat 5.x never used to do that -- run pwconv and grpconv). Check your system logs daily..install an updater to check for new bugfixes automatically (you get the rpm for it). Be really paranoid -- all good sysadmins are. Ensure no login account exists except for your account and root. never login as root - always su yourself and login via ssh from a trusted machine or your own webservers console.

  25. Bah... on Netscape pulls Mozilla chat-client page · · Score: 1

    Signed applets are not supported by netscape (at least not those singed by sun). Similarly applets signed for netscape are not supported by Sun. Applets signed for IE are not supported by netscape. The fact is that its difficult to sign a genuine applet and get it to work without the sandbox, let alone a malicious one. For netscape you have to pay $200+ to even get a developers digital signature and i know of no script kiddie who would go to that effort.
