  1. Re:Beginnings... on Wine Works Towards 1.0 · · Score: 1

    that's the kind of announcement you would expect from something that has to do with windows ...

  2. WO on Linux?!? on What Is The Best Application Server? · · Score: 1

    Sure?

    Where can I get it?

    I know the next version will be pure Java and thus will run on Linux. But not now IMHO.

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

    How compatible are the million solutions mentioned before?

    Can I use speak freely with Nautilius? Can I use RAT with Voxilla?

    TIA for your shared knowledge!

  4. Re:reiner fs? on SuSE 6.3 Released Today · · Score: 1

    Reiser FS ist public beta now, but not standard FS for SuSE. (maybe in 6.4)

    Bye egghat.

  5. Re:You've bought the hype on Pros & Cons of Different RAID Solutions · · Score: 1

    Can you provide us with links to hardware vendors, which sell FC cards for 300$? I checked the lists on your webserver, but didn't find anything in that price region with Linux support.

    TIA.

  6. streaming + encryption + compression on Public-key Based Streamed Encryption? · · Score: 1

    May I ask to extend this question a bit further?

    I used ssh to connect to our LAN from my SOHO. When ssh was running with encryption + compression, it was getting rather slow. It looks as if ssh first compresses and then encrypts every packet (perhaps it encrypts first and then compresses?!?).
    This is not very efficient. Is there an algorithm, that compresses and encrypts in one step?

    Bye egghat.

  7. Another lib for porting win to unix: TWINE on WINE 991031 (Hallowine) Released · · Score: 1

    Has anyone checked this out? How is it related to the things Corel is doing?

  8. Re:KDE TWO Conference Sponsorship on KDE Looks Ahead · · Score: 1

    Please note that it was redhat.de which is the former DELIX (maker of the German language distribution DLD). Perhaps the deal was inked at DELIX times ...

  9. Microsoft propaganda on Microsoft Clarifies Linux Myths · · Score: 1


    "Linux does not provide support for the broad range of hardware in use today; Windows NT 4.0 currently supports over 39,000 systems and devices on the Hardware Compatibility List. Linux does not support important ease-of-use technologies such as Plug and Play, USB, and Power Management "

    See how this implies that Windows NT 4.0 supports USB, Plug and Play and APM. Which of course is not true (Win 98 of course is different, but we do not talk about that here). Linux 2.3 kernels are better than NT 4.0 for all of the three.

    Btw., I never quite understood all this hype surrounding the Netcraft benchmarks. It simply says, that NT can fill 200 mbit ethernets and Linux only fills 100 Mbit. But who actually needs 200 mbit on a single computer? So NT is faster, but who cares, the test case is completely irrelevant.

    And regarding that TCO of NT is better than UNIX/Linux: there are several studies saying this and a lot of others stating the opposite.

    Most of the other lies have already been demistified (C2 security hahaha).

    Bye egghat

  10. Re:Go three-tier on PHP3/4 as Web Development Platform? · · Score: 1

    If you are looking for 3-tier-webapps and don't want to spend zillions of dollars, take time to visit

  11. Re:Manual user creation on Ask Slashdot: Building a Large Email Service · · Score: 1

    First: I'm not a Microsoft guy, we use sendmail/qmail/cyrus for us.
    But we do some programming and system administration in the Microsoft world. It's possible to do automatic script based user and mailbox creation under NT. The key is ADSI. There was an article in German magazin ix about that some months ago.

    But: I recommend qmail/cyrus and I think the world's largest e-mail service (hotmail) is an unbeatable argument IMHO.
