[Haifux] Red Hat 9.0 CDs
Hello All. I've just downloaded RH 9.0 (shrike) from iglu (3 Install + 3 SRPMS) and I'm burning them as these words are written. Anyone wants a copy? I'm ready to give away a single copy of the discs, to whoever promises to make an offer similar to this one (recursive iteration).

[Haifux] JVM
Title: JVM I have a question regarding Sun JVM runtime version: I am running RedHat 9 and I installed Netscape 7.1. When I am trying to browse to a web page containing Java applet, I get prompt that I dont have the necessary plug-in, and I have to download it. Then I get to this web page: http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html I downloaded J2SE v 1.4.2_01 (Linux RPM in self-extracting file), extracted the bin file and got the RPM. After installing the RPM I got Java installed under /usr/java But when I am trying to run a web page containing Java applet - I still get the same prompt that I dont have the right plug-in.. I checked in Netscape under preferences that Enable Java is checked. What else do I have to do enable to run Java applet ? P.S: When I run /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/bin/java -version I get the following: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode

RH 9.0 is an easy way to get started on GNU/Linux since its default KDE/GNOME desktops function and are arranged in a fashion very similar to a certain other operating system's desktop. Some people at my workplace, upon entering my lab and glancing at the KDE desktop do not even recognize that it's not Windows. -- Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice Regards, Yoni Rabkin pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thanks, Orna. I suggest you recommend the Mozilla Composer for creating standard HTML easily.

I will soon upload the source for my Basic Use slides. The source of my The Cathedral and the Bazaar lecture is already online on Quad-Pres' site, but it is a less sophisticated lecture. A few comments on the existing page: 1. s/postsccript/postscript/ 2. I would not recommend MagicPoint if I were you. It creates huge Post-Script files and its HTML output is lacking (either plaintext without any markup or huge GIFs). If you like using it fine, but I think it's a sub-standard tool. The OpenOffice/KOffice tools provide a viable alternative for it if you want a WYSIWYG slides creator, and LaTeX is more than enough for the non-WYSIWYG crowd.

I will keep the magicpoint link, but add your remarks to it. Otherwise, how would people know that other tools are better?

[Haifux] Re: recomendations for free format presentation creators
Oh and other tools I'm aware of: 1. PerlPoint - http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/lecture/Pres-Tools/Perl-Point/ Which is a self-documenting lecture made by it (that includes the source). Translates into HTML, or LaTeX from the same source. Very brief input (which I very much liked). Creates some quirky HTML, but still quite usable (reminds me that I should write pp2xhtml ASAP). 2. DocBook - http://www.docbook.org/ Contains a slide presentor that can translate DocBook/XML into a multitude of formats: HTML, TeX, Word RTF, etc. Very verbose, though. 3. Also check: http://www.perl.org.il/20021107.html Apparently in Israel alone, at least 5 people have wrote their own presentation tools in Perl and at least one in zsh, and another one in Python. I'm not sure how usable are any of these. 4. This link: http://www.perl.org.il/pipermail/perl/2002-October/000510.html contains links to many other slide creators, none of them were used by people I know.
