Here's my two cents.
OVer the past two years, I've tried Linux and Freebsd.
The first time Linux I noticed that I had to make floppies to install
linux. Freebsd booted from the cd.
I went throught the creating startup floppies and got Linux installed
and it wouldn't recognize my 3c905 card. Freebsd did.
I didn't try Linux again untill recently because I've motivated by the
number of people using it. (ten thousand french flies can't be wrong.)
So I installed it on a spare pc I had. First thing I try it to rebuild
the kernel. What I see is extremely poor and inaccurate documentation.
Sure I can work through this with enough posts to newsgroups and maybe
going on irc and being insulted by the teenagers in #linux but Freebsd
works correctly on everything I try.
For my money, (time is money) I'm scrapping Linux once again and going
back to Freebsd.
For anybody that thinks I'm crazy, read my post on "A kernel build
problem" and tell me where I made an error. Perhaps my error was reading
the f*ing manual and following the directions in the how-to's.
The directions for building a kernel in freebsd take about two
paragraphs and work flawlessly. I can execute the procedure in a few
minutes. I get the feeling with linux you have to join some linux cult
and get the inside information that is not covered in the docs.
I'm finding it hard to believe that linux has gotten so popular with
such poor documentation.

Hello!
I am experiencing a very frustrating problem with linux. When I give any
shell command I get a error message like the one given below. This type of

same command next time sometimes it comes and sometimes it does not.
Here goes the meassage when i gave "ls -l|less" command. I am also sending
one more as attachment.

similiar error also came while tried other commands.
I am in a very confused state. I am having 413MB partition for linux. 34MB

Thanks in advance for sending me the solution.

Well, strictly, he didn't say it was. He said: "If you are looking for
RAW FP power look at an ALPHA processor." (which I think is fair enough)
and added in good advice "Load it up with memory and fast disks.".
Of course, at times memory and disks may greatly increase your FP (or
any other) speed, for instance -- but not only -- in the pathological
case where you need a certain amount of working memory and disk to even
start solving a problem. There are algorithms in most QC packages that
do certain things in memory starved systems using disk files (slower,
but at least it works) and in better equipped systems using RAM
(faster). Etc.
>at Qualcomm said he got better performance out of a PPro

I don't know what kind of math the simulations on these voice codecs
require, but you can cook up an example for a given architecture A that
shows that it is faster than an other architecture B. For Intel x86 CPUs
that is traditionally the case with codes doing lots of math with
transcendentals (sin/cos/exp) which the Intel FPUs do in hardware, while
many or most RISC CPUs don't. Simply, benchmark a number of machines for
a given application (mix) and go for it.

Check with the digital/compaq web sites for that, it's a bit too much to

I will probably install linux on it next month. I want to find out it
my Olympus D220L digital camera will work under linux or not.
It is a simple serial interface, so that shouldn't be a problem. I

I have been away from Linux for a couple of years now, so I'm not sure
what is out there for this type of thing.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Hmmm, that is what I meant when I said everything else being equal up
above. Given that an ordinary non-tech person would prefer a gui, which
is where a lot of money is.

I worked my way through school as a lab assistant. For my first year
there the lab was a mixture of Win 3.1, unix, vax, & dos. I started the
job knowing very little. I hated Win 3.1 and its applications, but I
could do things to start helping people who asked things I didn't know.
With the command line software there was only a prompt to stare at most
of the time until I could ask one of the more experienced consultants
where to start.
You are right, GUIs don't make things a breeze and for the long term
future people will need to learn how to use computers. However, that
doesn't mean developers should give up on making things progressively
easier.....even for technical people. The less time you spend learning
one task might be converted into doing, or learning something else.
> Labor saving device != no learning required to use.
I agree, but as long as you are working at making labor saving
equipement you goal is to keep evolving towards equipment that makes a
chore less and less work. That includes finding ways to reduce the
time/effort in getting up to speed on the labor saving device.

ECC is the memory error correction stuff. are you using true parity memory

Subject: choosing a portable
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 15:34:57 +0100
I have a Toshiba Port�g� 300CT running S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3. My plan is to
buy a new (much better) portable and upgrade to S.u.S.E. Linux 6.0.
Most of the computers I�ve looked at, like the HP OmniBook 4150, use a
256bit NeoMagic graphics chip. Linux has no support for these (only
128bit versions). NeoMagic is by far the most popular graphics chip
today. All the better portables use the 256bit version. Linux will just
have to support it. Does anyone know when this will happen?
I found the MiTac MiNote 6020. It has a 100MHz system bus (the worlds
first I�m told), and an ATI RAGE LT PRO graphics accelerator with 8MB
SGRAM and full AGP 2x mode bus support. I like this.
The S.u.S.E. hardware compatibility database says that ATI RAGE LT PRO
is supported but not with LCD screens (not on portables).
VA Research sells the VarBook 120 preinstalled with Linux. According to
them everything except sound works (they�re working on that). �The
VarBook 120 - based on the popular NEC LX ��
The NEC Versa LX uses ATI RAGE LT PRO. The S.u.S.E. hardware
computability database must be wrong.
VA Research can�t supply the VarBook 120 with a Swedish keyboard (I
assume). NEC portables are not sold in Sweden. But, if the ATI RAGE LT
PRO really does work I can buy the MiNote 6020. Can anyone help me here?
Anyone have other suggestions for portables that work with Linux?
(including sound)

I don't know the complete command (it's four bytes long, the first two
are f0 0f). Point is: The instruction is illegal and doesn't make any
sense.
But: Anybody who knows this could write a mini program with these four
bytes in a data word and then jump there -> Prozessor ist standing and
