MS Windows XP vs Linux
Microsoft's new Windows XP is touted as the easiest Windows ever, and is
expected to unify Windows OS's. MS developed XP by getting feedbacks from
average users and computer neophytes, to become easy/intuitive enough for
your Grandmother to use.
Linux/GNU caters to people who have a reasonable background in computers, if
not experts. This is why Linux/GNU is not as prevalent as MS Windows.
Listening to feedbacks from computer experts for improvements is important,
but expending efforts into designing a system that can be easily used by
"non-computer" public is just as important.

For reasons which are opaque to me, RedHat ships their vim without the
color and ruler options enabled. (Idiots.) If you're using RedHat,
grab the source RPM and recompile with all the good stuff turned on.
vim has syntax highlighting rules for more formats than you can shake a
stick at, including C, C++, Perl, PHP, Java, SQL, bash, .BAT files,
PostScript, HTML, XML, lots of .rc files, et cetera.

Three computers connected on a network.
1 has two printers attached is running Mandrake 7.2 with
a 4.2.1 kernel and no problem (now) printing.
2 runs NT connects to 1's printers via samba, no problem printing,
3 is running Mandrake 7.2 with a 4.2.0 kernel.
No matter what URI I specify for that computer. I can't get it to
connect to the printer. This is using the web interface for cups.
Any ideas why?
(Probable answer wrong URI, but I can't figure out the right URI,
printer1 queue is label lp, printer2 queue is labeled hp {guess what
brand it is}).
PS: I did manage to get it working when I had the 2.2.18 kernel.

1. GNU/ Linux is focusing on ease of use...while it's not up to par with
Win os's, it is progressing rapidly...imo faster the anything from MS.
2. What you give up with with WinXP /9x/NT or whatever flavor your running
is freedom. When you have to call MS to activate your os or rent your apps
from them, all the ease of use in the world isn't worth it.
Linux will acheive ease of use that users wants...and MS will stil be
screwing it's customers.

Thanks for your take on it. I have run Eagle on an old Slackware libc5
system and Suse 6.2 glibc system. There was no trouble. Unfortunately,
since it is commercial software, I can't recompile it. But the company
is very good at responding to problems, even though I don't think this
is their fault. Hopefully they will have an idea, of someone here.
I will also try to email Suse's feedback.
Any other takes anyone?

Where is the physical address of any kernel source code?
I need to access the physical address of kernel through driver,
but I don't know enough about it. I only knew these:
1. In the /proc/ksyms file, there are some relationship about
functions and address. How to put any one of function inside
kernel source code to ksyms? What's the address here? Physical?
2. I perhaps know, I should write loadable driver to access the
physical address, then insmod ..., then through ioctl to get
the data from kernel. Is it a correct and easy way to do this?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Have a great weekend!

There is none. The kernel source code sits in files on your hard
drive. MAYBE. That assumes that you've got kernel source code on
your system, which is not a necessary precondition for running Linux.
The most likely place to look for the kernel source code is
/usr/src/linux, which is where it is often installed, by default.

Subject: Need help installing DigiBoard!!!
Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2001 02:35:22 GMT
Hello I have a Digiboard 16em that I am trying to install on Red Hat Linux
7.0 - the host board is EISA.
I downloaded the .rpm for this board from
http://support.digi.com/support/legacy/digi/drivers/4001450K.rpm which they
say is the last driver to support EISA. The package name of this driver is
'epca-1.4.3.3-1'. It also says that it is for upto kernel 2.2.14 and Red
Hat 6.1, but I think that it is because it was what was current when it was
created. I have the 2.2.16 kernel on Red Hat 7.0, so it *should* work
right?
Well, after creating a 'src' group and then running 'rpm -i 4001450K.rpm'
it puts all of the source files where they need to go and starts the
configuration script. Everything seems fine there except that it asks for
an I/O address to use (1005,2005,3005,4005,6005,7005). But there is nothing
about setting an I/O address for this board when the board was added to the
system via the system EISA configuration.
So, I tried using all values, but I get an error when it tries to load to
the board. And when I try I/O addresses 3005 and 7005, the configuration
script hangs when it tries to load to the board.
Has anyone been able to get the DigiBoard 16em EISA board to work with Red
Hat? I appreciate any help or suggestions at all.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Navarre

You might try something like the following:

ftp -n 172.28.211.99 << EOD
user cbbrowne MySecretPassword
cd /tmp
binary
put somefile.txt

I've heard that too, but then this behavior is confusing (blank lines
inserted before prompts for clarity):
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 21 1999 /bin/sh -> bash
$ cat > zzz
#!/bin/sh

echo $PPID

100
$ bash zzz
/home/franl
844
Fri Feb 23 21:36:44 EST 2001

So when bash is invoked as sh, it allows tilde expansion, $(...) command
substitution, bash-specific variables such as PPID, the let "..."
syntax, but not the ((...)) syntax (which it seems to read as
doubly-nested subshells).
That's some Bourne-shell compatibility mode!

Perhaps it might be nicer that way.
But the approach I outline works even on a system so "plain vanilla"
that it has no such tools.
(And folks at work use scripts much like the one above to do file
transfers on MVS by embedding the script into a chunk of JCL. Feel
free to retch as needed...)

Depends.
Most will work if POP/IMAP/SMTP is enabled on Exchange server.
Use IMAP rather than POP if given a choice. If they aren't
enabled, then you're pretty much screwed. Bynari.com has a sort
of a solution where you run have the a server-app on a Windows
machine and a client-app under Linux.
Nobody has a MAPI client under anything but MS-Windows, and

WP8 does a decent job of opening documenents as does StarOffice
(SO is a huge memory hog). You might take a look at Applix
Office, it does a decent job also. There's a program called
Ted that does a good job with RTF files.
For mail, you can run a Python app on a windows box to fetch
mail and shove it into an SMTP sever:
ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/python/mfetch.py
It should be farily straight-forward to impliment the other
direction (SMTP -> Exchange) but our Exchange server has SMTP
so I've never bothered. IMAP is way easier to deal with, so
maybe if you ask nicely....
Exporting and mounting files with Linux works well:
http://www.samba.org/
RH6.2's "printtool" program sets up printer queues so you can
use printers on Windows machines (most laser printers that are
on the network listen on the BSD lpd port, so you can probably
print directly to them.
There are also a couple virtual-machine products that let you
run Windows under Linux (vmware and win4lin).
Good luck -- hang in there.

Oh, one other thing. If you're creating documents for others to
read (they don't want to edit them): using standard postscript
fonts in LaTeX and converting the postscript output to PDF will
create documents that your readers will be quite comfortable
reading. There's also a version of TeX that generates PDF
directly, but I've not tried it.
If people want to edit files, useing Ted to generate RTF works
pretty well.

MicroSoft says this about _every_ release of Windows. What do you think
so far? The only thing I see is for $90 you get more bloat without any of
the old bugs fixed. And an increase in "innovation" which usually translates
into the incorporation of another embedded technology to make Windows
compatible only with itself (and it's not even good at that).
An aside: my favorite interpretation as to what "XP" means is that it is
an emoticon.

Certainly true, but Linux is gaining in the server market and MicroSoft is
nervous about it. That's why they publicly claim they aren't worried, but
at the same time they want to lobby lawmakers to make open source products
basically illegal.

I wouldn't say that Linux developments are ignorant of the "common man"
audience. I use RedHat, for example, and have only been using it since
version 5.2. The difference in ease of installation between 6.2 (which I
run now) and 5.2 is huge. I've done many Windows and Linux installs and
I can now say that I find Linux installs go a lot smoother and easier.
Fewer choices, fewer button clicks, and fewer problems.

Try <ftp://www.calderasystems.com/pub/eDesktop/> for a much more up to

There's also a free Netware client for Linux, but I haven't kept up on
