[ILUG-BOM] Shiv Kumar's Tribune India Article
Hi Shiv, i checked out your article, one query however you mention : `` The recent scandal involving software engineers at the National Security Council Secretariat who leaked information to the American Central Intelligence Agency allegedly saw some of them swap secrets including information on India's nuclear doctrine for jobs with Microsoft. i don't remember hearing about this, and could not find any info on the same online. If you could please forward the link of this story that would be most appreciated. One complaint however, you mention the terms ``Linux Operating Systems, ``Linux Ubuntu Dapper Drake and ``General Public Licence Linux OS would it not be fair on your part to also mention GNU, ASF, BSD and other communities without whom you cannot call that entity an operating system. If the article's purpose is to raise awareness, it makes sense to also tell people about the community(s) Anyone have any comments on what i've written ? Regards, - vihan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Disk sharing over network.
What i plan to have is that when users see a directory called Data it should be a combination of hostA, HostB, HostC harddisk.guy. (snip) I can use a LVM LVM should exactly suit your needs. Just create a volume group consisting of (/dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, etc.. or /dev/hda1, /dev/hdb2, etc..) and then create logical volumes out of the volume group. Maybe you can have a single logical volume for the whole group. I hope I understood your problem correctly.

Novell-Microsoft: What They Aren't Telling You Today Novell and Microsoft announced a partnership in which Microsoft has made some unlikely-seeming promises regarding Linux. What aren't they telling you? First, you can be sure that Microsoft's not out to help a competitor. This announcement paves the way for Microsoft to implement significant control over commercial customer's use of Free Software. And it has significant negative implications for Open Source in general. http://technocrat.net/d/2006/11/2/9945 See what Eben Moglen has to say about the possibility of GPL violation http://news.com.com/2061-10795_3-6132156.html Microsoft is bragging in their press release that they found a way around the GPL by using a covenant, probably a covenant not to sue, we'll have to see the details. Whatever way they do it, they are at least circumventing the spirit of the license, and possibly the letter. Shame on Novell for helping them do that. And doesn't this remind you why we need a GPL3. I don't think that coupling the patent protection to a support contract would be any better - it's still about using the software, the GPL still covers that software. http://technocrat.net/d/2006/11/2/9986 Regards Praveen -- Value your freedom, or you will lose it, teaches history. `Don't bother us with politics', respond those who don't want to learn. -- Richard Stallman Me scribbles at http://www.pravi.co.nr -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

Sarge works out of the box. So Ubuntu etc should. What is the order of the resolution in the config file. 1024x768 should be the first followed by the fall backs. Also your sync params might be wrong. The order was correct and pre-loaded. What are the sync params? I have noticed this problem even in Mercury 845 boards.

hi rony. I insidentally happen happened to install ubuntu 6.06 on a machine with exactly same configuration. the mobo was a giga byte 845. I did not find any problem and believe that debian should work as well. infact ubuntu went so smoothly that the gentelman has not used any thing ever since I installed it. he is in Neral and I had told you this when I was at your place for going to the bof meeting. if there are some other specifications you need about the config, do let me know.

[ILUG-BOM] Re: FSF announces release of gNewSense 1.0
it is ok. don't mind it. actually in a way I can say it is my mistake because I should have checked the word by going back. but again as Devdas rightly pointed out, the speach synthesizer is not that good and even the screen reader is not efficient enough to let me know mistakes for even standard words, so forget gnu and new. in my screen reader, both gnu and new are pronounced as new. but firstly keep such messages private and Roni and Devdas, thanks a lot for your modest consideration. both of u guessed it right and since rony has seen me, he knows I never switch on the screen and so I am very fast at keyboard. just one fun part for every one reading. by being blind I am not handicap but have a great advantage. I can have complete privacy while using my computer. I just put the head phones and switch off the moniter. now what ever I do, is only in my ears. isn't it an advantage? haha. thanks again for your modest consideration.

Hi Krish, its not the same for all 845 chipsets and mobos. I feel that even within 845, there are different grades and maybe the GL chipset is low grade and not properly recognised by some linux distros. That client has an Intel original 845 GLVA. My own system has 845 GEBV2 and its the most compatible one with various distros. Regards, Rony. ___ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.
