Re: Tamano de las letras de XTerm
Gracias a todos los que me habeis respondido. Un resumen rapido de lo ocurrido: - uso wmaker 0.20 sobre hamm. varios han escrito: * Lo de usar las fuentes de 100dpi (aunque te fijaras que esto significa que todos tus programas en X tendrán las letras más grandes, no sólo las xterm). No noto que cambie nada cuando pongo delante las 75 o las 100. * El menú de XTerm (hay más menús, pulsa los otros botones del ratón) es cómodo. Aparte, puedes cambiar las fuentes del menú, para que muestren otros tamaños (la `unreadable' no merece la pena estar en el menú). No me salen menus haciendo click y ctrl en ningun sitio de xterm, ni en el icono, ni en la mini ventana. Lo unico que consigo de menus de xterm esta en attributes del menu de la ventana de xterm, pero no veo nada de fuentes ahí. * El usar el recurso `font' que es lo mismo que hacer un xterm -font Juraria haber mirado el man xterm, y no recuerdo haber visto esa opción, pero es la única que me funciona.

At this point I get on my client: Looking up port of RPC 13/2 on 192.168.1.1 portmap: server 192.168.1.1 not responding timed out Root-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using default Looking up port of RPC 15/1 on 192.168.1.1 portmap: server 192.168.1.1 not responding timed out Root-NFS: Unable to get mountd port number from server, using default mount: server 192.168.1.1 not responding, timed out ROOT-NFS: Server returned error -5 while mounting x VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS I have never seen any errors prefixed with Root-NFS, so I don't know for certain what the problem is. I presume BOOTP and TFTP were previously used to get this far, meaning it is not a general network failure. I also assume that all IP addresses that the kernel gets and displays are correct and hasn't been currupted. Suggestions: 1. Try mounting the NFS partition on the server (ie localhost). Does that work? 2. Can you manually mount a NFS partition on another computer? 3. Is anything logged at the server? BUT, from time to time it works (maybe once in 10 times) Very strange No problems at all with 2.0.x kernels. Do you mean the client or the server needs 2.0.x in order to run? (I think you mean the client, just checking though). I haven't tried 2.2.5, but I would hope that the problem is elsewhere ;-) I would be interested to know if you have tried 2.2.1 or 2.2.3. On my Debian system I use: Client: - Debian slink with Kernel 2.2.5 - netboot 0.8.1 Server: - Debian slink with Kernel 2.2.5 - nfsd (2.2beta37) or knfsd (1.2) , which makes no difference I sounds like the server is probably OK, in which case, none of this will help. In this case, the best I can suggest is to trace the packets with tcpdump, and see if you notice anything unusual (eg packets only being sent in one direction). In particular check that the client is sending the request to the server, the server is replying back to the client, and everything else looks OK (eg IP address of source and destination).

Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I have spent about a week trying to figure out why neither my Creative Labs SB16 or AWE64 work under Debian (2.2.4 2.1) I think it has to do with the way my motherboard handles the irq's and pnp etc. Today I finally got it stop telling me there is a conflict on IRQ 5 when in fact, nothing is using IRQ 5. Now all audio such as `saytime` `bplay file.wav` work so do my mixers `aumix` etc. But! When I enter x11amp and open a mp3 file and click play it just pauses there with the play button.

Re: Enlightenment .15 required debs

I tried to make a package from Enlightenment's rpm at their site using alien, but I got an imlib package, which I am sure would be rejected by dpkg for not being imlib1.

Linus Torvalds at the Pearly Gates
Linus Torvalds is standing at the Pearly Gates as people are coming in. He asks the first person, What's your IQ? 150. I'd like your opinion on some things I've been thinking about in termsof tools to partially automate the process of porting a kernel to a new architecture. The two of them have a wonderful chat for a couple of hours, and then the man goes in. Linus asks the next person, What's your IQ? 110. So, how're the Mets doing? They chat for half an hour before the man goes in. There is nobody for a while, and Linus begins to get bored. Then, finally, another person comes. What's your IQ? 65. Aah, wonderful! Would you mind explaining to me a couple of things about Debian's apt-get hamm to slink upgrade? - I upgraded my laptop from 2.0.34 to 2.1 in order to have better chances with Blackdown's Java 2, and I am far from pleased with the results so far. I have discovered by now at least two major things that were working quite well and are now quite broken: 1: XFree86 was downgraded from 3.3.3 to 3.3.2.1. 3.3.3 supports my video card; 3.3.2.1 does not. This means that my X display is now (mal)functioning at 320x200 -- I can see the lower right quadrant of an xterm. The machine was also set to start xdm on boot; coming in with a rescue floppy was the only way I could figure out to get it to boot and give a text terminal (I did not have the boot scripts start xdm before). 2: /dev/eth0 no longer exists, and I cannot locate anything in the documentation telling how to regenerate that or some equivalent device. MAKEDEV, for instance, did not recognize eth0 as a parameter. Therefore, I have no network functionality, and am forced to do all my transfers by floppy. There are several dozen megabytes of software I want to download (Blackdown JDK and XFree86). This is really frustrating... I can see a plausible reason for the first to have happened (specifically, since I did not install 3.3.3 through dpkg, it thought that the files were its own), but that blindness can and should be avoidable. One mechanism I can think of OTOH would be for the database to keep checksums of the files for earlier versions, so that it can at least ask before clobbering something which does work and replacing it with something which doesn't work. If this behavior isn't changed, there should at least be an emphatically worded warning so that people don't lose their files. Can anybody help me? In particular, can anybody tell me what the major and minor numbers should be for /dev/eth0 (or, if that file has been replaced, what has replaced it)? I'd really like to have ethernet working, so that I can get XFree86 and (God willing) JDK loaded and working, and get back to my programming. -Jonathan
Re: RedHat = MS-Linux
Bruce Sass wrote: [snip] So the scenario is that some proprietary, closed source, program is what you want, and that it has been built with RH in mind. To be forced into dual booting RH to run it would mean that the software relies on a specific kernel version (poorly programmed or incompatibilities between kernel versions, neither of which is related to the commercial-proprietary / free-OSS issue), one that your Debian system isn't running; anything else could be handled by having the correct libraries on the system. The only stumbling block I can see is if RH starts using proprietary libs, and the software you want depends on them. Ok, there would be a delay until the OSS community comes up with replacements. The only reason I can think of that would result in software that we can't get from the OSS community, would be patents associated with libs only distributed with (lets keep picking on) RH. So... First, this isn't meant to be a pick-on-RH rant. RH just happens to be the overwhelmingly dominant distro out there. I don't want to see RH disappear any more than I want to see Debian disappear. I want to see enough cooperation between distros that allows app makers to write software that will work on most distros without major effort on the app maker's part. I'd like to see healthy competition between the distros, but not at the expense of application compatibility. Linux has a relatively small user base. Linux can't expand much beyond the OSS community if the kind of fragmentation that occurred between commercial Unices over the last 1.5 decades or so, is allowed to happen in the Linux market. There are differences between RH and Deb, primarily in the directory tree layout, and especially in places like /etc./ and /var/ (I think). Its not clear to me what the percentage of RH packages that can't be easily converted would be. Anybody with better knowledge like to speak up here? I don't think we need to invent a 'patent' issue to effect that kind of fragmentation. As the 'Heinz ketchup' manifesto talked about, its brand name recognition and user perception that matters in a commercial market. All it takes is a user perception that RH is the only distro that matters, and we'll end up seeing companies releasing software meant for RH, and not bothering to support any distro that isn't RH compatible. Now granted, some software *can* be gotten to by Debian users with alien, but not everything. Also, if RH tries using proprietary libs on their system, its entirely possible for a group of Debian hackers to bang heads and come up with GPL clone of those libs, but this, to me, would be a bad signal anyway, as it would in essence suggest that Debian is becoming a clone of RH out of necessity. Its the *perception* of Linux by folks *outside* the OSS community that matters, for my concerns. I'm not saying that Debian would die because of this, because it won't. Nor will Debian suffer from a RH monopoly on the commercial side of the Linux market, it will simply be made *irrevelent* *outside* the OSS village. The OSS community will continue on, with its members avoiding the use of non-opensource software, regardless of what happens on the commercial side of the Linux market. Unfortunately, I do care about the commercial side too. OSS can work, I see that in things like the kernel, GIMP, and even Debian itself. OSS doesn't work everywhere though, because the successful examples of opensource have to appeal to significant number of developers for the critical threshold of user/developer support to be reached. What would the kernel look like today if Linus was still working on it alone? For me, I want access to the commercial side, even if I end up using an OSS equivalent (like AbiWord over Wordperfect). The single most obvious shortcoming of OSS is the absence of sophisticated gaming software, something that OSS may never be able to overcome due to an overall lack of developer interest. [snip] ...you don't trust RH and assume that what you want would be patented. I don't trust anyone with unchecked power, and as far as the commercial side of the Linux market is concerned, RH already has it. [snip] Some folks have chosen to use the commercial OSS sound drivers instead of the ones that come with the kernel source, although in general I'll agree with you that a majority of Linux users have a strong preference for opensource stuff. But, what do we do for software that has no opensource equivalent (yet)? wait awhile Ok, :-) how long should I wait for a good equivalent of Wordperfect 8? How about a Railroad Tycoon II clone? How many questions do you remember from debian-user and elsewhere that want to know if there is an opensource word processor that can read and write MS Word files? There are several commercial versions. The questions indicate that there is

ctrl-H - backspace FAQ
Greets, So this has to be a FAQ., and I know I've solved this before, but can't remember how. My new laptop, a Solo 2500, under X (using the neomagic server) has the backspace and del keys doing odd things (forward deletion or ~'s depending on the program) and ctrl-H doing the proper backspace thing. How does one fix that? -Seth -- It is by will alone I set my mind in motion

You mean that the X package overwrote your manually installed copy. (Not to nitpick, just trying to clarify so we are all on the same page.) 2: /dev/eth0 no longer exists, and I cannot locate anything in the documentation telling how to regenerate that or some equivalent device. MAKEDEV, for instance, did not recognize eth0 as a parameter. eth0 is not a /dev/ file, it's a network interface. It is brought up by scripts in /etc/init.d, specifically /etc/init.d/network. However, you must have support for your ethernet card in the kernel... Have a look at the ethernet HOWTO. This is really frustrating... I can see a plausible reason for the first to have happened (specifically, since I did not install 3.3.3 through dpkg, it thought that the files were its own), but that blindness can and should be avoidable. This is considered user error. If you want to install unpackaged software, you have to use /opt or /usr/local or the like. There is no way for Apt or dpkg to handle any random thing you install, so they don't try. Instead you are guaranteed that Debian packages will not alter /opt or /usr/local. Apt's internals require strict control over all dependencies; that's why it refuses to run if you have broken dependencies. One mechanism I can think of OTOH would be for the database to keep checksums of the files for earlier versions, so that it can at least ask before clobbering something which does work and replacing it with something which doesn't work. 90% of the time this would just be annoying (not to mention it would slow things down and fill disk space), and Debian has other means of handling it, see below... If this behavior isn't changed, there should at least be an emphatically worded warning so that people don't lose their files. Can't argue with that, documentation could be enhanced. However, you can get what you want without losing the power of Apt and dpkg. Checksums are kept for config files, which roughly means files you are allowed to change. So you can always change these safely. If you want to change any other file, you have to run dpkg-divert to redirect the packaged copy. You can find documentation on config files in the developer's corner on the web site, and dpkg-divert --help is helpful. In this particular case: you can get the latest video card support by simply replacing XF86_SVGA (or your server) with a newer binary available from www.xfree86.org. You can then dpkg-divert the package's version of the server binary, or simply remember not to upgrade X. I think the dpkg-divert command would be: dpkg-divert --add /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA Later, when you upgrade your X package to one that supports your card, you will want to dpkg-divert --remove the same file. There are also newer unofficial X packages floating around somewhere, but I don't remember the URL. HTH, Havoc

graphic df type of util for Linux?
Until I can afford a new hard drive, I find myself typing df often to see how much free space I have on each partition. I think it would be nice to have a little utility that displays graphs of free space per partition, and updates regularly (a graphic output of df, if you will). I'm visualizing bar graphs, here, but I suppose any type of graph would work. Something that could be swallowed in some sort of desktop module would be especially nice (FvwmButtons, Wharf, ...). So maybe I could have three little bar graphs showing the free space for three partitions I specify. Does anyone know if anything of this sort exists?

Re: Help with printers
I couldn't initially share my printer when I upgraded from hamm to slink; in fact, I couldn't even print from my local printer. To solve my problem, I decided it was a good time to switch from the lpr package to the more complex/complete/modern lprng package. I could then print from my local computer, but not from remote computers. So I commented the following two lines in /etc/lpd.perms ##REJECT SERVICE=XRPQ NOT SERVER ##REJECT SERVICE=CSU though I probably needed only comment the first one. Then my remote computers could print through my local computer. Perhaps naively, I see little security problem with printing. At worst, I would run out of paper. With printing security problems, I shouldn't get a new sneeky root user and corrupted files. When giving printer access to other computers, I usually simultaneously want to give user access. So, I leave /etc/hosts.lpd with no entries, then make my entries in /etc/hosts.equiv. For example, here are some of my entries, cramer #a computer at work better specified in /etc/hosts tomato #an NT computer at home from which I print through my Linux computer I can't help you with magicfilter, though you could recreate /etc/printcap magicfilterconfig --force Magicfilter worked well on an HP III for me. I currently use magicfilter with a postscript printer, so I can't help much. But I suspect magicfilter would just replace ps600-filter with ljet4l-filter (magicfilter includes this file) in my /etc/printcap code, lp|lex|Lexmark Optra Rt+:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lex:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/ps600-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: While you should probably approach this problem through magicfilter, I remember seeing Sun code to accomodate the form feed.

ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV graphic card + ATI-TV tuner card setup
Hullo there! I have an ATI 3D Pro Turbo PC2TV with 8 Mb RAM and an ATI-TV tuner card. I just installed slink and X with the ATI Mach64 server for the 3rd time (don't ask why 3 times). Second time around, X came up with a virtual desktop of 1600 x 1200 and a screen resolution of 800 by 600. Perfect! However, this time around it will only come up with an 800 by 600 desktop... no more virtual desktop. On exiting X I see the server started up with Mode 800 by 600 and Virtual Resolution 800 by 600. 1) Could somebody please advise me how to get the virtual desktop back? 2) Does anybody know if I can use my ATI-TV tuner card under X (ATI itself does not directly support Linux)? With hopeful thanks in advance, David Nelson
Newbie setting up StarOffice...
Hi there! I just installed slink and installed StarOffice (i.e. installed the installer, fetched the necessary files from the StarOffice ftp site, installed them with the installer). On attempting to run swriter, I get the message Could not open XPrinter Please make sure your XPPATH is set correctly I had a look in dselect and made sure a package called prt (described as an X printer server, if I remember right) was installed. In dselect, its an optional package. I marked it for installation, but it doesn't actually want to install. After selecting it, I went on to install it, but looking back in the selection list again, its status hadn't changed. Would anybody happen to have any helpful advice? Thanks, and all the best, David

modem setserial (auto dialup out there?)
First: I could swear there was a script floating around
to have your machine dial up your ISP email the IP
address to you. I thought it was in an early issue of
Linux Gazette. Does anyone know if where I might find
such a creature?
I'd write it myself, except I'm frustrated with my ppp
dial up script as it is. It worked fine under some old
slackware distribution, but when I upgraded completely
to Debian hamm (I now run slink) I began having one minor
problem: after dialing up turning off the connection
the modem would be 'hung' and I have to run the hylafax
probemodem script.
Last night I read some man pages (very large thankyou to
those involved with setting up the HTML documentation
structure) and thought I discovered the problem in the
closing_waits of setserial. closing_wait2seems 'stuck'
at infinte.
Anyhow, I'm attaching the setserial output and my ppp
scripts. TIA!!!

Re: What DO you lose with Linux ???
So Hewson makes some good points. Linus still isn't ready for the desktop, at least for the masses. But it will be Tomorrow. So stay tuned I agree -- a lot of his points, particularly about the lack of mainstream apps, are valid. I'd also like to see more hardware support for odd-ball and brand-new devices, and I'd certainly like to see a wider variety of apps. This can be solved. Even though we're flooded with generally positive, mainstream press coverage, the tactics that got us here still work. Nag hardware and software manufacturers for drivers and support from their products and politely remind them of their lost sales if they decline their support. That has worked and it'll still work.

Heres a good point about linux, anyone found a good irc client for x (other than Bitchx in a E-Term :) that doesn't crash everytime you click (yagirc anyone). I still find for everyday use Win95/NT is better (quaking, ircing, browsing, ftping). OK well folks dont shoot me and no i dont use it often but.. mIRC runs just great from linux using the standard wine config. Yes this is the windowsXX irc client.. I simply type 'wine /dos/mirc/mirc32.exe' and it starts up. I run #Hottub on UnderNet and from time to time i help the other ops with their mIRC scripts. Wine also installed mirc for me on a very small windows/dos partition. This I found was great as I havent booted that windows partition in well over a year now :-) Heh, haven't tried mirc (don't really like) but almost managed to get xircon working using wine. I used tkirc alot last year and found it quite stable.

I have always found that linux gave me a much better (more stable/reliable) connection via dialups. I've always noticed a difference in higher speeds and performance in linux. Don't know I got a cheapo modem, which has turned out to be a winmodem (YUCK), should be gettiing a decent modem soon thu. Quake.. Well it just rocks from linux.

tunnelling ssh over https proxy
hi, before i try and do all the legwork on this one, i just wanted to check that no-one had a prerolled solution to this one: i'm trying to let myself connect to my linux box from work through our Apache proxy's https tunneling. i've set up a port redirector that points port 443 on the box to 22, so the acl on the proxy will think that it's going to a ssl site. ssh accepts a config file option ProxyCommand which it runs, and reads from and writes to via STDIN/OUT as if it were the remote socket -- this lets you do the CONNECT command. unfortunately, the obvious 'echo -e CONNECT 88.NET:443 HTTP/1.0\n\n | nc proxyserver 8080' doesn't work because the first line that comes back is the CONNECT string from the proxy, after which I see the SSH server announce itself. the ssh client doesn't like seeing anything but the sshd at the other end. so, I just need to soak up the string from the proxy and everything would be fine and dandy. i guess i would want perl for it probably -- i guess an ideal mini-server would: -listen on a local port -connect to the proxy -send the connect string -ignore the first line that comes back -connect the socket to STDIN/OUT and loop in a stupid fashion until a socket closes. hopefully someone has done this already. if not, i might even become a maintainer and package it when it works. cheers, -thomas .. please forgive my abrupt ending hre - but my conection is xtrememleyyhiclmelyey BAD hiccuppy etc must sign off - EF D8 33 68 B3 E3 E9 D2 C1 3E 51 22 8A AA 7B 98 umbra (!)

Re: prog. end of the boot ? rc.local
Debian uses the /etc/rc0.d - /etc/rc6.d folders for links to actual scripts in /etc/init.d. When the boot process reaches a particular run level (say level 2), it processes all the links in the /etc/rc2.d directory, in order. If the link starts with a K then it executes the link with the stop parameter (meaning it runs the same scripts in ../init.d with stop). If the link starts with an S then it sends the option start. If you look at the actual scripts in /etc/init.d you can see that they use case logic based on the option passed to decide whether to start or stop daemons. In general, rc0.d, rc1.d and rc6.d contain largely K links because these are the run levels for shutting down the system or rebooting it. rc2 - rc5 are the run levels where stuff gets started. So, to answer your question, the way I stop the crap from running is to either uninstall the package, or simply change the name of each link so that it starts with DISABLE instead of K or S. When the system is booting, or shutting down, it ignores all links that don't start with K or S, so this effectively disables the daemon without removing the script or the binary in case you want to run it later. You'll have to either figure out what your run levels are, or just move all the links in the directories rc0 - rc6. To start a new service, or do something that you would have done in rc.local in RedHat, write a script that knows about start and stop, put it into /etc/init.d, and then link it with a K or and S in all the rc directories. You can decide where your script will run by choosing the number appropriately. (i.e. if you compiled Apache yourself and want it to run, you should probably make the script link such that it starts after your network initialization scripts or it might hang. If you look at the way the rc directories are ordered, you'll see what I mean. There is one last directory named /etc/rc.boot that has a couple scripts in it that run when the system first comes up. I've never messed with it, but it's there for the fooling with. Hope this helps. Chris -- ++--+ | Christopher S.

Help Installing Linux
I did succeed in changing the file name to Linux from Linux.htm Still I am back to the same position. When on dos C\Debian (This is where all the required files are kept) I type Install, as suggested to me last week,I get the same messages: Image file not found. Please enter name of kernel image file follwed by optional command line parameters for Linux. As I am new to Linux, do I understand correctly that the kernal file is Linux and it is looking for the path of that file? Should install from C:\Debian have taken the file to load automatically? Or do I have to do anything further? If so a detail instruction to me will be helpful. I am also not sure whether there had been any defect in downloading the file linux or any other file required to install from Dos on the same hard drive ? Thanks for any help.

Re: Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Installation
I looked and looked and found no isofs module to install in the install routine. I even did a find on the cd and found nothing. Very confusing. The way I eventually solved this problem was by copying the isofs.o module from a RedHat installation I had on another drive. I added the path to modules.dep and then 'modprobe isofs'. That worked and I was able to go through the deselect routine. But I'm just stumped about why the install media is not eqipped with the means of installing from itsself. Any halfway reasonable explanation would make me feel better like, your media must have been flawed. So is it the case that all other debain intallers see the option to install isofs/iso9660 and then can mount the cd in deselect without a hitch? Thanks for your time. marlon On Thu, 1 Apr 1999, George Bonser wrote: On Thu, 1 Apr 1999, Marlon Urias wrote: I have the exact same problem! Except that there is no iso9660 option in there!

Microsoft Announces MS-Linux
Microsoft Announces MS-Linux REDMOND, Wash., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. today announced the forthcoming release of MS-Linux(R), a new version of the well-known Linux(R) operating system designed for the enterprise. The flexible grassroots operating system, now with the quality and enterprise-level service and support customers expect from Microsoft Prior to the development of MS-Linux, enterprise customers wouldn't dream of deploying mission-critical applications on an unsupported operating system, said Jim Allchin, senior vice president of Microsoft's personal and business systems group. All that has now changed. Maximum compatibility and performance While other versions of Linux offer a variety of immature and largely incompatible windowing environments, MS-Linux includes an implementation of the familiar Microsoft(R) Windows(R) desktop, minimizing corporate training costs and allowing the hundreds of millions of Windows users worldwide to be productive right away. MS-Linux provides a complete implementation of the Win32(R) API, enabling many of the thousands of applications written for the Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT(R), and Windows 2000 operating systems to run unchanged on MS-Linux. Microsoft will offer support for future releases of the Microsoft Office suite of productivity applications and the BackOffice family of server products running on MS-Linux. In addition, many existing MS-DOS(R) and SCO Unix programs will run on MS-Linux without modification. Benchmark tests performed by independent laboratories have shown that MS-Linux is the world's fastest Windows file server. A groundswell of support from industry A number of leading development tool vendors will announce support for MS-Linux, including Bristol Technology Inc., Compuware Corp., Cygnus Solutions, Fujitsu Microelectronics Inc., Intel Corp., Metrowerks Inc., Rational Software Corp., Sybase Inc., and Tower Technology. The new Linux distribution from Microsoft gives the operating system the credibility it needs to gain a foothold in organizations where it has never gone before, said Jon Hall, Executive Director of Linux International, a non-profit Linux advocacy organization. Microsoft will become a corporate member of Linux International, and will make a substantial donation of funds and equipment to the organization. Linux International looks forward to working with Microsoft for the benefit of current and future Linux users, added Hall. According to VA Research President and CEO Larry Augustin, VA Research is delighted that Microsoft is entering the fast-growing market for computers powered by Linux. VA Research has announced plans to bundle MS-Linux and selected Microsoft Office and BackOffice products with its powerful server, workstation, and laptop computers. VA Research has also agreed to make Microsoft its exclusive supplier of Linux-based operating systems going forward. Having the Office and BackOffice suites running on computers from VA Research will give us a huge advantage in the marketplace, said Augustin. Microsoft has engaged well-known author and programmer Eric S. Raymond to advise the company on certain intellectual property issues related to Linux. Raymond's paper The Cathedral of the Bizarre was a key factor in Microsoft's decision to develop a Linux product. While Microsoft will not immediately release the source code for its version of Linux, the company has promised to do so eventually, said Raymond. That's good enough for me. The Linux community and Microsoft are a great fit, says Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux. After all, we both have the same goal, which is total world domination. Separately, Microsoft has announced the opening of a new recruiting center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Microsoft is always looking for talented individuals to join our team, said Mike Murray, Microsoft's vice president of human resources and administration. We often recruit in communities that are expected to have significant numbers of folks looking for work in the near future. Pricing and availability Microsoft expects to release English and international versions of MS-Linux Version 3.1 for Intel- and RISC-based computers on or before April 1, 2000. Pricing has not been announced. About Microsoft Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is the worldwide leader in software for personal computers. The company offers a wide range of products and services, each designed with the mission of making it easier and more enjoyable to take advantage of people using personal computers every day.
