Play around with editing images a little, and watch it go to work!
Gimp or Imagemagick are both quite capable of checking out your swap
for you. Xv probably won't do anything that goes over 100Mb though,
so you could use it all day long and with 128Mb of RAM and probably
not start swapping unless you view a dozen images at once.

I have 3.3.2 and downloaded only the 3.3.3 server.
Xconfigurator did its thing and I'm zooming along
with an 8Mbyte AGP Matrox Millennium G200. There
is a README.MGA that I also downloaded; it really
helped.
But; I am using xdm, and when I logout I get a line
of garbage along the top of my screen. Anyone got
a good XF86Config for the G200? Mine obviously isn't
quite right.

Subject: Good motherboard for Linux
Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 00:49:43 -0900
I'm building my own system and have a K6-2 400mhz processor. I was
wondering if anyone knows a good motherboard that has 5 PCI, 2 ISA,1 AGP,
100mhz cache, and will run with RH Linux 5.2.
The only boards I could find had only 4 PCI slots, and many couldn't support
the processor speed. Also, are there a lot of incompatibilities between
linux and the motherboard?
Thanks

So I'm running vanilla RH 5.2, which was upgraded from RH 5.1,
which was upgraded from RH 5.0, which was a reinstall from my
RH 4.X days.
I've had the /dev/modem -> /dev/cua1 symlink there 'forever'.
I'd like to fiddle with 2.2, can I just change the symlink to
/dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS1 and continue running the 2.0.x kernels
as well?

You have the choice between DDS, SLR, MLR and NS20.
I have made a (German) list of tape drives. (The links to the manufacturers
may be interesting for you.)

Forget the ditto, if you want something reliable.
The ditto is _cheap_ and nothing else. BTW: The 10GB-Ditto has only 5 GB
uncompressed and is currently not supported by Linux.

To reduce printer jamming with your HP DJ400, I clean it as well as blow off some
of the dust. Also make sure you use HP ink. I tried being cheap one day and all
it caused was problems. But now, after 2 years of use it still runs like a
charm. Have thought about replacing it, but not until it starts smoking and
falling apart. :)

Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 08:09:19 GMT
I'm planning to buy a couple of Allied Telesyn's NIC's;
AT-2500 Fast Ethernet PCI 10/100 mbit/s autosensing with full duplex.
There might be a problem though: I don't know if it's supported. The
Allied Telesyn webpage tells me only AT-2000 (its NE2000 -clone card)
is supported, none of the rest are. That information could easily be
old, too. Also, Donald Becker mentions that Linux has support for
almost all PCI cards in market since Sep 98
(http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/).. And Win98 has support
for it built-in, and it certainly was in market half a year ago..
For all I know, the cards might have a chip that is supported, even if
AT-2500 (or any other AT-xxxx, for that matter) wasn't specifically
mentioned.
So, is any one of you using Allied Telesyn NICs or know something
about their driver status.

Subject: Help w/ Audio Excel CMI8330 sound card
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 05:49:42 GMT
I'm having trouble configuring my sound card (as I said, an Audio Excel
ISA PnP with a CMI8330A chip) under RedHat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36)
with the OSS/Free driver.
Even after using pnpdump and setting properly the /etc/isapnp.conf
file, when I run sndconfig, I get the messge "No PCI or PnP
sound card detected" and have then to manually set up the card.
I set it as a SB16, io=0x220, irq=5, dma=1, dma16=5, mpu_i0=0x330
Then the sound check passes OK (which means I hear the digitized
sound without problems)
BUT: when I try to play a MIDI file, it's as if it was being
played through /dev/null (no output at all, no error messages,
nmo nothing). The same happens when running xdoom, the background
music isn't heard, though the sound F/X do (and I haven't any
problems playing .wav, .au or any other sampled sounds, either)
When trying to run Quake, I get that "segmentation fault" error,
possibly because the program tries to autodetect the soundcard
and fails...
Here's every file I can think of that is related to sound:

All the sound options in the kernel are the defaults, that is,
everything as "M"odules.
And Finally, just in case, here are my DOS and Win95 setups:
DOS:
====
WSS I/O E80
WSS IRQ 10
WSS DMA 0
VOICE I/O 220
VOICE IRQ 5
VOICE DMA 1,5
MPU ENABLE
MPU I/O 330
MPU IRQ 9
GAME I/O 200
OPL3 I/O 388
Win95:
======
MPU 401 i/o 0330-0331, int 09
SB16 i/o 0220-022F, irq 05, dma 01, dma 05
WSS i/o 0E80-0E87, i/o 0388-03FF, irq 10, dma 00
JOYSTICK i/o 0200-0207
So, please, if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong and
why I'm not hearing any synth sound...
TIA

Subject: NetComm Internal Modem works with Windows 95 but not Red Hat Linux 5.2.
Modem Brand : NetComm
Model : InPlus SVD ( IN3420 )
Operating System : Red Hat Linux version 5.2
Program : The 'pppd' peer to peer program.
Comm Port : 3
Problem:
pppd can't initialise modem or communicate with ISP, however, I am
able to communicate ( albeit, rather slowly ) with the modem using the
'Minicom' program. Can you tell me if this modem has known problems when
being used with Red Hat Linux 5.2. I Know some modems do have problems
with this operating system. If these problems do exist with my modem,
what avenues exist for addressing them?

Does anybody know, wether it is possible to install a PCI Soundblaster Live
soundcard under Linux (SuSE 6.0/Kernel: 2.2pre7)? If "yes", can you give any
hints on the sound setting?
Thanks for any help!

I believe you'll need a high speed serial port, ie, 16650 uart. i have one,
bit it's not installed as it conflicted with my scanner card...building a
new linux box that i plan to put the isdn ta on, and leave the scanner on
the win 98 box....
