Just goes to show that Linux developers think that Linux apps are lame
compared to Windows apps.
The truely sad thing is that if WINE succeeds completely what will
have been added to Linux is going to work the same lame way it worked
on Windows. And we'll have dragged the NT plague of DLLs along with
it, not that it isn't already a bad enough plague on Linux with all
the libs that are available/required. Makes me long for my days on
IBM mainframes, where everything you were allowed to do was a
supervisor call (interrupt generating) instruction, and they were all
documented in one set of books. We wrote our own libraries only when
we needed them, because all the basic functionality was already
present in what amounts to the "kernel". None of this modern bullshit
about needing a lib for threads, a lib for gui, a lib for this and a
lib for that. I've always thought it wierd that NT has even a kernel
lib; I think it means they're running a microkernel under the covers.
Would love to read the source code for it, but it ain't likely unless
the DOJ finishes the job. Which is the main reason I like Linux.
I've noticed lots of unexplained response lags on NT lately, not sure
if I picked up a virus while I was running without a test system, or
if there's some idiot bug in the NT dispatcher. Wouldn't surprise me
either way. Any system that permits the possibility of virus,
introduction without specifically informing the user that a new
executable is being introduced to his system, is inherently crippled
as far as security goes.

Apparently, the video card itself could also be damaged by sending it some
bad values, but the damage the previous poster was referring to is the
actual power surge caused by turning on the power. Probably the same
reason, for example, that lightbulbs generally don't seem burn out in the
middle of continued use (unless they are never turned off at all), but
rather an instant after they are switched on. Generally, unless you don't
plan to use your computer for a long time, it's probably a good idea to
leave the system on. I shut mine down if I'm going to be away for a few
days, but that's about it.

Take a look at your kernelconfig. Maybe you have selected plip support. If
this is not the solution try to boot dos (I don't like it, but sometimes it
helps) and try to print to lpt1. If this doesn't work either it's possible,
that you have hardware problem.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I migrated our system to linux from NT. A lot more stable. I've had to
keep a box with NT server running for PDC (the samba stuff is not quite
there yet) but all the NT box does is passwd authentication. All the
file and printer service is done by the linux box.
No problems except with some NT domain admin tools.
If you're running a stand alone NT server, I'd dump it in favor of
linux/samba in a heartbeat.
If you're running a PDC, you have to weight the stability of the linux
system against the easier administration of the domain with an NT
server.
I find that I need the admin tools a lot less now that my server doesn't
crash every few days :-)

I don't think I have a mouse problem because I can highlight something and then

We have several 1850R's here, and I have never seen one of the embedded netowrk
cards on them work. All of our systems are running NT, and we have added PCI
10/100 NIC's to them because NT will not see the embeded for shit, and as much
as I hate to say it, it is a pretty brainless operation to get NT to see a NIC,
unlike linux. My advice is to get a PCI NIC and disable the POS that comes on
the board.

BTW - Can you get the link light on the front of the box to come on?? I can by

will turn off again. Beats the hell out of me. If anyone knows let me know.

Subject: Re: Playstation 2 To Use Linux OS
The PSX2 console itself will likely not use Linux as the OS (if it does think
embedded system version). Our take on the issue was that the development tools and
environment would be Linux based, as indeed Cygnus has stated that they modified
the GCC and tools for the 128bit graphics SDK. Since you can't use the console to
debug the code, there is a remote debugger link.
Also the SDK and Dev Environment would be "LEASED" from Sony at $10,000-$20,000 US,
so don't expect to see a hobbyist version soon (tho there was one for the PSX1).
