  3. Dialpad on Free Software Voice Over IP Solutions? · · Score: 1

    Dialpad is an excellent web-based solution that works as a browser plugin. It's totally free. You can dial any telephone in the US free or anyone in the rest of the world can call a US resident. Unfortunately they do not support Unix. They however in their FAQ they have included instructions on how to make it work on Unix based firewalls/masquerading. Several people I know now use it instead of a telephone. I did for a while but just can't stand having a Windows machine on my home network. It also works ip to ip anywhere.

    Aw come'on there's jerks everywhere it just so happens there are more in comp.os.linux.*.
    (See... it's easy to start a war). Seriously I heard many complaints from people about this. On the other hand many FreeBSD'ers are the archtypical Unix user with zero tolerance for newbies. Myself included on occasion. Most of this attitude stems from users who refuse to read the faqs, readmes, and docs. We learned it that way why can't you. Of course I'm not like any of them.(Ha!)

  12. FreeBSD on Why is BSD Not As Popular As Linux? · · Score: 1

    Damn straight! That penguin is stealing all our glory. (Just kiddin') Probably for the best. The slower(development) pace makes a far superior and stable platform. Everything about FreeBSD in my opinion is better from CVSup to sysinstall. The very concept of make buildworld/make installworld is lightyears ahead of the rest. Most importantly it demands knowledge of Unix. That alone may very well spell Linux's downfall. Linux is slowly changing but not necessarily for the better.

  14. OS/2 BBS Community... on Are BBS-Like Communities Dead? · · Score: 2

    I think only the OS/2 community still actively uses BBS's, the largest being Peter Norlofs OS/2 Shareware BBS. He's been on the Internet for quite a few years too. Most users as seen when you log on are on the Internet however. You can still dial-up, telnet via tcpip, or browse his web pages. If your an OS/2 fan believe me this single site has pretty much everything ever made for OS/2
    I too run a BBS, The Power-Users BBS. It also was a Maximus BBS but unfortunately I did away with the dial-up section. It is strictly http/ftp now.
    Unlike Norlofs my site has always supported Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris too as well as OS/2. My site is the main XFree86 ports repository for the XFree86/OS2 community. We are now enjoying Gnome, Gimp, Qt and a host of other Linux ports thanks mostly to Holger Veit and his port of XFree86 and a very dedicated but small group of supporters. Mailists have also replaced the BBS in part becoming a place where small parties congregrate.
    The XFree86 and EMX mailists are an example. I think what comes around goes around so I would not be surprised if BBS's have a resurgance. I have had a lot of requests recently for good Linux BBS ports. There are some excellent BBS software packages for Linux that gives you all those nice DOS BBS features via the Internet. Who knows...

    The part I am extremely angry about and most people don't recognize is how they manipulated
    Linux and the press for the DOJ's benefit. I hope everyone realizes Linux's new found fame is courtesy Microsoft. They had absolutely no defense as to competition to Windows so they fabricated this story about a new world-class operating system called Linux that is in a position to wipe out Windows. Starting with the carefully laid out Holloween paper(I hope ER realizes he was just a hapless pawn in all this). The unexpected results however where the major corporations embracing Linux. Their experience with major FUD campaigns including DRDOS and OS/2 gave them some particiular expertise at all this but the one dirty trick I still cannot forgive them for is using their wealth to do away with some excellent companies by drasticly and/or giving away their competing products for free. How can a smaller company fight against this. Something tells me that all there well-played plans are going to backfire this time.

    How can you say that. The library differences alone make or break it. Let's see we have libc5 5.3.12 vs 5.4.46 / glibc 2.07 vs 2.1.1 Bind v4 or bind v8 Where all the apps compiled for the current libraries, dynamic or static? Static libraries consume less memory hence are more effecient but are larger. (FreeBSD one of the proven performers is a-out.(2.2.8)) The amount of differences are staggering and their effect on performance absolutely critical but that's the beauty of Linux. Build it your way.

    Why was RedHat chosen? A proven stable Linux server setup by a Linux professional would have been a fairer representation. In my experience the workhorse of Linux has always been the Slackware server. Even Caldera or SuSE would have been a better choice. The NT machine was tweaked by NT professionals so why not at our end. RedHat is not exactly known for it's installation ease and stability and usually requires a higher degree of expertise so the test was handicapped right from the start.
