Lots of questions first. How many hard drives will you want to have? If
it is 2 or less, go with IDE. SCSIs big advantage, now that IDE has gotten
fast, is simultaneous access. With only 1 drive, that is moot, and IDE is
much cheaper.
For the video, got to http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html and look at
the list of supported cards. This is for 3.3.3.1, so if you are installing
an older distribution, it may be unsupported without a patch. ATI generally
has well supported cards, and they are a good value for the money.
|Should I build it myself, or go through Varesearch, ASlabs,
|penguincomputing, Dell, or what?
If you know what you are doing, and buy right, you can not beat building
yourself. If you don't know what you are doing, you can cripple yourself,
and cause enough frustration to choke a horse. :-) In that case, I
recommend going to www.compaqworks.com and ordering a refurbished computer.
<They also have great monitors that are built like tanks> Stay away from
the consumer line, the Presario. They like things like WinModems, and use
cheaper components. Stick with the Business products, like the DeskPro, the
Workstation, the Prosignia... Then get a good current distribution <Like
the one at www.independence.seul.org It has the latest X, KDE, and ect, and
is easier to install than most> and install it.
Dell has consistency issues. You can get 4 machines with consecutive
serial numbers, and all of them will have different chipsets on the
motherboard, video card, or NIC. A real driver hell. I have no experience
with VAresearch, ASlabs, or Penguin...

Basically yes. The Question is whether companies like nvidia publish
the specs for their products so that driver programmers can use them.
Most of the acceleration capabilities of the TNT can not be
implemented since no one knows how they work.
It's the same with the SB Live! soundcard. A great card but as long as
nobody knows the specs, you won't hear any sound.

I currently have an Epson 700 printer and would like to know
if there is a driver or utility that will let me use it.
It has a parallel port interface, so that should not be a problem....I
just need a driver to access some/most/all of the features of the

I've been away from linux for a couple of years, and don't know what

This is a PCL 3 printer and as such is almost certain to work with the

I think sndconfig is a Red Hat thing.
My experience when I ran it was that it screwed everything up.
After a bit of diagnosis I discovered that it wrote out an isapnp.conf
file, and the Red Hat startup scripts discovered that file and started
running isapnp on boot-up. Anyway, the pnp configuration wasn't quite
right and both sound and my X configuration broke. Renaming the
isapnp.conf file fixed the problem. I have since upgraded to kernel
2.2.3

Also remember to check for boot up sounds. Hard drive access, startup beeps,
etc. If you normally get beeps on startup and there are none, that's a red
flag. Also, if the beeps are unusual, that's also a signal. That also sounds
like it could be the motherboard. Hell, computers are so flaky you can't really
be sure of what it is. I've seen plenty of wierd things at my job (P.C. tech).

one other thing to add to this to make it eaiser for others...
Diamond has a new bios update on their web site for this card. Once
you install it the XFreeSetup can "probe" your card and configure it

Now all works...at least I can use x windows...
next ? where do you look to see how Linux is using your ram. I have

Here's an option using SCSI and not PCI:
Our Enterprise RAID systems range from 66GB up to terabyte and do RAID
levels 0/5. The solution is hardware-based RAID, and will work with any

RAID: they have hot-swappable trays, fans and power supplies. Very clean!
Our 66GB array starts off at $4995. 150GB is just under $9K. Rackmounts are
also available.

Windows on a computer with NeoMagic video cards. I'm still working on getting

Date: 19 Mar 1999 08:01:19 GMT
I found some web pages relating to X windows programs which let
you watch TV in an X window, or in full screen mode. I'm interested
in buying a TV card now; my "real" TV is only 12 inches, and the
picture is really crappy.
I'm looking for recommendations on specific TV cards known to work with
Linux. I want to stay away from any 'WinTV' cards that only work
with Windows. It looks like ATI is one such manufacturer to stay
away from. Also, do these cards mostly come as ISA or PCI cards?
I'm running out of ISA slots, so PCI is preferable.
Also, I'm wondering what type of load a TV card program would
incur on my system. I have a Pentium-166 with 64Megs of ram.
What % of CPU would such an application eat? I use a little 386
laptop connected as a dumb terminal, so in the future, I could
watch TV in fullscreen mode and continue to use text mode on
the laptop.

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.

I have an ATI Xpert@play 98 AGP w/ 8 meg RAM, and I cannot get it
configured with XF86Setup...I have tried multiple configurations, does
anyone out there have this card configured correctly on their Linux box?
I am using Redhat 5.2, and XFree86 3.3.2 - I have 3.3.3.1 available but
I haven't upgraded yet. Will I have more success getting my card to work
with 3.3.3.1??
Please help,
RL

I've seen more and more PrintGear printers on the market these days.
Xerox seems to have just come out with a new line of them, and of
course there are NEC and Minolta... Some of these printers look quite
appealing, except for the limited support.
