Hi,
I've got linux up on a couple of machines at home, and was thinking
about expanding to non-X86 based versions. Has anybody run Linux on an
Alpha 21064A at 275 Mhz? I can pick up a motherboard pretty cheap, but
I'm wondering how it will compete with my K6-233. Any comments or
thoughts?

Carl,
I'm trying to understand what Postcript gives me. Could you help? I have a
QMS color laser printer that works great, but I feel that as I know nothing
about postscript I am missing something. This is a postscript printer and I
would love to be able to tweak the colors a little through the use of
Postscript. How could I do this? Any ideas or info on where I might go for
ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jim Gizzi

I say if you want color and are running Linux with Ghostscript, get an epson. If
you intend to print black and white, get a laser printer.

If you still want an HP or Canon, be sure you can drive it under Linux before

Your kernel must have support for both cards if they are different ones.
If they are the same, you only need one driver for both. And if your
kernel sees only one of the two cards then you must probably give your
kernel some options to see the other one too. I have two Adaptecs running
in my machine and one of them needs kernel options for being recognized.

No.
Not all internal pnp modems are winmodems.
While most newer internal PNP/PCI modems may be winmodems, this was not the
case with this particular supra express. It was one of the first 56kFlex
modems out...it uses the rockwell chipset and is an isa card. When I bought
it, us robotics had just begun to ship the first win modems before they were
bought by 3com. It is different than subsequent Supra Express internal
modems and cannot be upgraded to V.90(Diamond...current owner of supra...can
only "upgrade" it by replacing it, which I won't do). I've had it running
under linux, sco unixware, os2, dos, and solaris. As I posted though, it
is a pain. This is because the pnp crap doesn't set the modem up as normal
serial irq/io...at least it doesn't on any of my hardware. You can play
around with either the unix settings to match the pnp assigned stuff or by
swapping things out in your machine until it gets irq3,4 etc. Turning off
com1 or 2 in the bios helps...as does icu from intel. As I said it is a
pain, but it will work since it is not a winmodem. Life was simpler when I
had jumpers on cards and could set my own irq/io stuff:) I don't use this
modem any more except in my wife's machine so she can fax.
The point is that pnp != windows. It's just currently harder under other
os's. Sadly, though, I see more and more internal winmodems on the shelves
all the time. This sucks and I hope consumers wise up and stop buying
them...whether or not they use windows, these "modems" are half assed rip
offs. Then again, maybe not::)...I feel very strongly both ways.

Internal PNP modems are Winmodems and won't work with Linux and never
will. These modems rely on special propretary driver software that
only runs under Windows. They also chew up a fair portion of your CPU

Aren't CUBIX card's great?
I maintain them for a large hotel chain in Canada - Sorry, can't name
names.. :)
The cubix card looks like a nic to the host system, and the two
computers on the card appear to be on a LAN.
Now, the cards load the filesystem remotely (they act like diskless
workstations to a Novell server) so I don't know if a linux setup
could be done - Just an idea but maybe setup an NFS mount for the root
filesystem for the card?
I've never tried to setup an HDD directly on the cards (the manuals I
have don't even mention an hdd option, but we only use 2 types of
cubix cards - a 2 port & a 4 port... )
As always, YMMV
Let me know how it goes - I'm really interested in the
idea (that's how it goes, doesn't it - I see the things on a day to
day basis, and it NEVER occured to me to try and set one up under
Linux.. :)

Something that caught me out until I figured out what was happening:
X allows resolution switching on the fly, so all the card's supported
resolutions are available. The default (in xf86config) is to put
the coarse ones first and the nice ones last; don't ask me why.
Try typing the 'give me the next resolution in sequence' keystroke
alt-ctrl-keypad-plus and see what happens
If that works, ...
Next time you play with xf86config, when it asks you whether the
resolution list is acceptable, keep the default listing but use
the menu to reverse the order of all the lists.
... hope that helps ...

My applogy if this question is redundant?
How Celeron is different from PII's in Linux system?
It seems to be the cheapest among the CPU's. I heard that is has reduced
number of instruction sets but how does it affect the performance?
Another question: What's the story regarding AMDK6-2's? I am happily using
K6-200 right now and could upgrad to K6-400 but some people say there's a

Turn off drive compression if you have it on in the MSDOS side of things
(obviously if you do have a compressed drive, you will need enough free space
to be able to run w/o compression).

It will be easier if you have the Redhat files on a FAT16/VFAT

Run xvidtune and use it to position your display properly.
When it looks right, select "SHOW" and xvidtune will display
the proper modeline to use in your XF86Config file for that
mode. Repeat the process for each mode you have defined.

That would be my guess also. What you need to do, Jonathan, is run FDISK any
kind will do, in MS-DOS it is the 2nd selection on the menu and in Linux it is
option 'a' they both set the partition/drive you designate to active/bootable.

Hi all
HP has excellent printers, it would be fare to say they lead the industry in
quality of output. However they do have one problem that the Linux
community can address buy not purchasing HPs product. What I'm talking
about is the reluctance on HPs part to disclose the info on the PPA protocol
used on thier 720 series printers (and others).
I know about this problem because I own a 720C purchased before I got into
Linux :(. While there is a Black & White solution that is actively
developed, HPs reluctance to supply the community with the required
information to accelerate this development is a dark spot on there corprate
identity. So if you have a choice, choose anything but HP and then send
them a copy of your sales receipt for xyz printer.

There is an HTML Red Hat Linux manual, you probably downloaded it. It
should get you started If you don't have it, you should be able to find
from their web site.
http://www.redhat.com/
The 3Com 905b driver is included in the kernel, I'm using it. For other
Linux info try:

The special boot disk is on ftp.megaraid.com
I have it working on two systems here using raid 1. It is fast. (I have
another system running Solaris x86, and I am only having troubles, so stick to
Linux if you can)
No problem installing (just followed the instructions)
