Netscape can only fetch mail from (1) POP server. Hmmm, set up fetchmail on the *Nix box and then set Netscape up to read local mail. There, will that do it ??
Dare I say it, Outlook Express supports multiple POP servers. Why doesn't Netscape ?? Will Mozilla ??
I use Windows NT at work and for personal mail, I am using Outlook Express and have the following settings turned "on":
Leave a copy of message on server
Remove from server when deleting from "Deleted Items"
This way I can keep up with messages during the day. If there's a message I want to read later on at home, I can either mark it as "unread" or *not* delete it from my "Deleted Items" folder. When I go home and check mail, it shows up as a new message.
I don't know if this helps, but it's an idea. As for your mail clients, Netscape's mail client has similar settings (I think). I have Netscape's browser-only here at work.
On a side note, though somewhat related, I accidently left Outlook Express open at work. It was checking for mail every 15 minutes or so. When I was at home getting mail, NONE of them were showing up as "N" in Mutt!! I checked and double-checked my settings in.muttrc many times trying to figure that out! Since they'd already be retrieved, but not removed from my mail server, they were not considered "New".
It's nothing more than having multiple kernels to select from... At some point during the installation, it checks what processor you're using and installs a kernel optimized for that. I think they had this option with v6.0, so the Pentium III i just the newest cpu option available.
Unlike Mandrake, all the other packages/software is still compiled for a 386 (or 486) for backward-compatibility. Mandrake recompiles *all* of their packages for Pentiums.
It's not likely that RedHat includes it. As has been mentioned, it's a closed-source program and RedHat has stopped including any and all closed-source or commercial programs with their distribution.
What distro did they use (some optimize packages, some don't)?
Who cares... It's Linux. Isn't that all that really matters ?? Anyways, what distros come with kernel 2.2.11 ? RedHat ships with 2.2.5, Mandrake with 2.2.9. Sorry, but I don't know about any others.
Did they compile the kernel with -O6, or use what came with the distro? There's dozens (nay, hundreds) of kernel tweaks you can apply to give you increased performance
Again, assuming that no distros ship with that new of a kernel, they likely compiled their own. Did they use the "-O6" flag ? If it helps, why shouldn't they.
Isn't it a benefit of Linux that they can do "dozens (nay, hundreds) of kernel tweaks" ? I think so!
1) Contact this company and tell them to stop sending them. Try and word it similarly to how you can deal with telemarketers. Tell them to put you on their "Do not contact" list. As far as telephone goes, once you do that, and they contact you again, it's considered harassment.
This may or may not work. As usual, do not reply to the "unsubscribe" address that may be given in the e-mail.
2) Contact *your* ISP. Mine has a simple address to send spam to: spam@erinet.com
They ask that you forward the message with full headers. What do they do ? I don't know... Block all e-mail from that address or higher up the chain ? Send an automatic message to the "other" ISP ?
3) This doesn't solve your problem, but at least you won't see the messages anymore. But, use your e-mail program to filter messages from this company and send them straight to your deleted mail. I know you can do this with Netscape's mail program. I only recently started using Mutt, but I'm willing to bet you can do it with it, too.
My NT box has a Matrox G200 and it comes with software that does this. I've never used it, although I've got Display Properties open right now thinking about it!
As has been mentioned by many others already, yes, Microsoft does have software that runs on other operating systems. The best example recently is Internet Explorer. But, look at what they offer it for... Solaris -- for SPARC only (not Intel) and for HP-UX (I don't know what CPU that runs on).
It appears that MS won't build software that runs on INTEL CPUs on a competing OS.
Uhhh, yeah, that's what Linus says in the page that's linked to...

What you said is sad, but true.
I honestly wonder how some people really do anything business-related without Office-compatibility. I e-mailed myself a Word doc a few days ago and WordPerfect for Linux was unable to open it! How many environments exist that are all Unix?
Where I work, we are slowly replacing many, many NetWare servers with NT. All new PCs that I know of have NT Workstation and older ones use Win95. There are a few Linux boxes hidden around that most people don't know about, including one I have myself. But it sits way up on a shelf running Apache, ftp, and SAMBA.
I believe that I read a posting from one of the main Samba developers that Samba does in fact perform better with Win95 clients, instead of NT clients.
He stated this after the first Mindcraft test results were published. I think he also helped set up the Linux box in the second test.
That guy is obviously bored ! Then again, it is quite an impressive setup.
"Send"...Kinda like IE 5 "Go" button

Microsoft had to add a "Go" button next to the address bar with Internet Explorer v5.0 because people didn't know that after hand-typing a URL, they had to hit enter !
No wonder so many people have Yahoo! as their homepage.
I do hope to see gnome improve... I think it's a great idea/concept. But calling it v1.x is a sad marketing gimmick, just in time for Linuxworld, as has been mentioned many times.;-(
This page, IE for Unix,has some information on the TWO developers for both the Solaris and HP-UX versions of Internet Explorer. You'd better be quick though... the page is re-directed to the standard Internet Explorer for Unix page!
No mention of special tools for doing the porting though.
It's been said many, many times... use the mirrors! My local mirror (only a few short hops from my ISP) is Ohio State. Problem is, in this case, they don't have the starbucks section mirrored yet.;-(
Otherwise, they are always very up-to-date and more importantly, fast!
I know everyone is all excited about the 2.2 release of the Linux kernel, but at this point, why didn't they just continue naming them 2.1.xxx until they're done?
I've read both Linus and Alan Cox mention that 2.2 would be out around Christmas. Did they do this (start releasing PRE kernels) to at least come close to hitting their "ship date"? I certainly hope not! From the sounds of it, these PRE kernels are still just bug fixes. Didn't they call a feature freeze around 2.1.130 or so?

Since they'd already be retrieved, but not removed from my mail server, they were not considered "New".
For example:
Two of the updates are Netscape fixes. Is their server running a copy of Netscape ? Not likely ! Therefore, we're down to (19) fixes.
Two more are updates for XFree86. Well, they probably are running X ! You know, they are used to pointy-clicky administration!
Another is an update for "mars-nwe". Isn't that a client type program for logging into Netware servers ? Again, probably doesn't apply to their setup.
A fix for KDE...okay, that can make Linux look like Windows, so, they probably are using it!
A fix for gnumeric, a Gnome spreadsheet program.
How many more of the RedHat updates don't apply?? If I don't have the RPM for "pump" installed, I certainly am not going to install the "fix" for it!

the CGI ship with the RH distro they

It's Open Source... fix it yourself and submit the patch to Rob !! ;-)

How would they test the boards to see if they support 1gb DIMMS ? It's easy to say "Yeah, it should work..."

I've looked around for this but haven't found anything... Do you have to interpret it from Apache's "access_log" file?
Thanks for any help
