Re: Sobre bases de datos
Hola, [...] JFM Para no dar palos de ciego, ¿cual recomendarías entre PostgreSQL y JFM MySQL? ¿Me aconsejáis otra que no haya citado? Para velocidad y acceso desde web u ODBC sin duda MySQL. Es mas a pulmon pero la velocidad es mas comparable a Oracle que PostgreSQL (IMHO) JFM Las aplicaciones a desarrollar empezarán con consultas mediante web a JFM censos electorales (30.000 electores en 39 colegios), registro de JFM documentos (90.000 al año) y otras aplicaciones sencillas con hasta 6 JFM usuarios atacándolas. De eso se trata, en MySQL tienes muchisimo material en PHP y Perl y ePerl. Si las aplicaciones son sencillas y lo que tienes es una monta~a de datos (o vas a tenerla) MySQL sigue siendo la mejor opcion. Te sientes a caballo con SQL? De ser asi = MySQL! :-) -- Robertomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Quisiera saber si alguien ha instalado Linux para resolver _todas_ las necesidades de oficina, si, me refiero a reemplazar winblows. Yo estoy trabajando (bueno, estamos trabajando en eso) pero para centros de enseñanza. En ellos para lo único que vale Windows es para gastar dinero en licencias y tocar las narices.

Te cuento mi propia experiencia. En el trabajo uso el Caldera OpenLinux2.3 y ya hace un año que mi pecera se ha olvidado de Wkk, y me soluciona el trabajo mejor que al resto de compañeros que sufren con las limitaciones de sus peceras. StarOffice es un paquete Office que cumple lo suficiente para creaciones propias (nosotros trabajamos con bastantes ficheros que nos mandan del exterior y en ese aspecto todavía queda por perfilar bastante el tema de filtros para ficheros .doc .xls... es decir para ficheros del exterior se queda un poco corto pues no filtra lo bien que debiera...), puedo estar en dos redes a la vez, la nuestra y la de la marca (que de momento manejan diferentes IP's), para conexiones tipo IBM el emulador x3270 va de perlas (solo falta el juego de caracteres/teclado castellano), communicator 4.72 permite conectar con Hacienda con seguridad, lleva el tema de mail, news..., la contabilidad, finanzas, ventas, recambios... la lleva una base de datos (Caché se llama) a la que se accede por telnet... en fin, no se que más cosas vas a usar en la empresa, pero como puedes comprobar tienes solución para unas cuantas... comentarte también que mi linux hace de proxy de salida a Internet con squid para el resto de compañeros, sirve su impresora sin problemas, todavía se tiene que colgar el ordenador por primera vez... vamos que va de cojón que quieres que te diga... :-) Estoy probando la potato-frozen y gnome anda de maravillas, inclusive el mozilla M14.

Sin embargo con potato, tengo el java de ibm el 1.1.8 (¿no?) y pese a reconocerlo SO51 cuando lo instalo, si luego voy a la página de Hacienda (www.aeat.es) salta el programa y de hecho se interrumpe la ejecución del SO51... si a alguien le funciona que lo diga... ¿qué variables de entorno teneis puestas para el jdk118? -- Powered by Corel LINUX 1.0/Debian Potato * Kernel 2.2.12 * KDE 1.1.2 AMDK6-2 3DNOW! * HD 4.3G * 64M Ram * DVD-Rom * Canon BJC-4300 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: routers vs linux
No soy experto en el tema, pero no conozco ningún router que haga lo que has dicho que quieres instalar en el servidor dedicado (squid, apache, sendmail, samba,...). Para eso, tu listillo particular tendría que comprar el router y además un servidor NT o Netware con 20 licencias de usuario y un software de gestión de correo, o comprar un servidor con Unix e instalar Samba o comprar un servidor e instalarle Linux. Moraleja: la alternativa de tu listillo pasa por comprar un router (entre 70.000 y 100.000 ptas.) y un servidor con sistema operativo propietario (200.000 ptas por la parte más corta sólo de S.O.). Tu alternativa es mejor tecnológicamente hablando y se ahorra entre 250.000 y 300.000 ptas. Porque Windows no viene con el ordenador, ¿verdad? En cuanto a la dificultad de la instalación: para que todo funcione correctamente hay que leerse la documentación (seguro que tú has leído, o estás dispuesto a leer, más sobre apache que tu listo sobre IIS) y, luego, planificar el trabajo.

Use the /net option to setup to run a network installation, rather than a single-user installation, of StarOffice. By default, Sun expects you to want to create a single-user installation of their product, which many people consider to be broken. This is documented in the installation instructions, though it's rather buried.

Fisrt of all, since Debian is not widely supported (as I have noticed; compared to otherdistros such as FreeBSD or Red Hat Linux), there are not many mirrors for me to download Debian sources for my installation. In my case, the only mirror in my country (Indonesia), does not have a complete archive. It is also not up to date... How many mirrors do you need? I've been using www.debian.org since the beginning; the problems that arise mostly on TelkomNet (the connection to the Internet -- TelkomNet's Jakarta gateway -- gets broken intermittently). The unavailability of Debian mirrors in Indonesia, I think, is not Debian.org's responsibility; it's Indonesian Debian users. Another thing, is the dselect program: it is quite difficult to use...

Re: Mutt questions (Was: Looking for a good mail program)
Once upon a time, I heard Viktor Rosenfeld say I recently switched my working environment from Windows to Debian only and I've been using Netscape Mail so far. And I *hate* it! Me too, it's too slow! My question are: - Does Mutt support hierarchical folders? E.g. I want to have a folder called Mailing Lists with individual subfolders for each mailing list and a folder called Friends with individual subfolders for each person. You could place you mailbox in anyfolder and mutt still could access it. - Can Mutt automatically move incoming mail into different folders? Yes. - Can I share Mutt's mail files with another mail program, so I could use a GUI program when under X? Would that be wise? Yes. mutt use std mbox format (I think it could read other type too), so does netscape I think.

Java IDE
Hi, Have you ever run Forte on Debian systems? I have looked at it on Sun's website. The doc says that to run it you'd need a powerful system (P. III). The IDE is distributed on .rpm format, the size is about 9M. I was wondering whether Forte would eat up so much CPU power; does it so? Any experience with it? Any hope to run it on P 133?

Re: Removing compiled-by-hand packages [WAS:] Potato - update-alternatives and window managers
I'm a bit short of space in my /usr partition, and it would be useful... :) If you remove your versions, and install the debian versions, it's sort of a half a dozen of one vs. six of the other kind of thing. If you have drive space somewhere, you could move /usr/local to a new partition, thus giving /usr more room. Not exactly... Some libraries, when compiled/installed, don't remove older versions, and we can easily find different versions on /usr/local/lib/libsomething-x.x.x.la (_not_ symlinks, sure). Wiping this mess would be easier than trying to find different versions and removing the right files. Some libs are 4Mb-sized, and 4 of them do waste space in any HD. Thanks... :) Claudio
How to recreate /var?
Hello, 2 days ago I had to resize my /var partition, because it ran out of space. I did it with Partition Magic 4. Well, something went wrong :-(. I had to e2fsck the partition. Everything that was stored on it was gone to lost+found. I was able to save some data. My problem is that plenty programs now complain about wrong permissions and won't work (or not as they are supposed to). How can I recreate the structure of my /var partition without having to reinstall the whole system? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA Robert - PS: Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Thanks.
Fooling apt-get about new kernel?
Hi, How to temporarily trick apt-get not to try to install the new kernel 2.2.14-3 until I have got the time to build a new one based on the most recent sources, 2.2.14-4? I have an smp system, patched for gart, and my current kernel is based on the 2.2.14-2 source, version 2.2.14-2smp. Since the distributed kernel is newer, 2.2.14-3, this version should naturally be installed if I did not have an smp system. Of course, since the base versions are 2.2.14, you can always answer no every time to the install script. Better solutions? What about Debian distributing smp kernels? Other distributions do!
Wait pointer

It had some jumpers on it to switch between SPP, EPP and ECP mode. I first set it up to use ECP mode and assigned a DMA-Channel to it. This resulted in the error message you got, both with the plip and the lp module. So I switched to EPP mode, and everything worked fine. Seems to me if Linux doesn't yet support ECP mode. But perhaps I'm wrong, and there's a way to get it working. To everyone on the list: please tell me, if you know better. Regards, Daniel

Re: CD/RW under potato
Dr. Simon Read [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm getting pretty frustrated with my upgrade to potato. I bought a CD/RW at about the same time as upgrading, but I can't seem to make it work. I know I have to use the ide-scsi drivers, but I have no idea how to configure them. I can't make them recognise the devices I have. I have a regular CD drive and the CD/RW (an HP 8200i) connected to ide0, so they are hdc and hdd. Can anyone help me configure them? Does anyone know a 'fine' manual I can refer to? I've read all the relevant HOWTOs (I think) and they don't help! I think that things are slightly easier now with 2.2 kernels than with 2.0 kernels. You have checked that you have the master and slave settings correct for the 2 CD drives? When I recompiled my kernel I included the following (some of which may not strictly be necessary...) SCSI support, SCSI CD support, SCSI generic support, SCSI emulation. I de-selected IDE/ATAPI CDROM support, since I only have a CD/RW in this machine. I think you could do the same and read your normal CD drive using SCSI emulation, and this might be simpler than trying to have one of each. I did *NOT* have to add append=hdc=ide-scsi to lilo.conf (because I use modules). In modutils I added a new file cdrw-ide-scsi: post-install scsi_mod /sbin/insmod -k ide-scsi pre-remove scsi_mod /sbin/rmmod ide-scsi options ide-cd ignore=hdc and re-ran update-modules. I guess you will want to add ,hdd to the end of the last line (but I'm not certain of the syntax for a list of drives to ignore). After re-booting, my CDRW shows up as /dev/scd0, so in /dev I have a symlink: /dev/cdrom - scd0 Your second drive will presumably show up as /dev/scd1. The CD-Writing-HOWTO goes into more detail, and points to some web sites that I found very helpful when first setting up my CDRW. -- Gilbert Laycock email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maths and Computer Science, http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/~glaycock University of Leicester phone: (+44) 116 252 3902
