I just saw a reference to Yahoo saying that they were so impressed
with performance on FBSD that they were switching everything over to
it but I didn't check the date or follow up on it. I also saw a
reference that said that the US Postal Service is using linux servers
to run their address-reading software.

I'm looking for the "IBM / mainframe bigot" software bundle to put on my shiny new

Namely -
ISPF editor clone
REXX (either clone of the mainframe or OS/2 versions)
Are any of these available ?

Hello,
I am having a heck of a time getting any accounting info logged.,
I am running Linux 2.036/Samba/and LPRng and using the Linux
box as a print server for Win95 machines to remote HPLaserJet4000's.
The printing seems to work fine, but I can't get any accounting info.
An example of one of my printcap entries is listed below:

According to two sources I looked at on the net, including one from MS
itself, HotMail production servers run Apache on Solaris. There also
apparently is some FreeBSD in the mix.

Rumors have surfaced regarding Hotmail's utilization of Solaris to

Are you sure your videorecorder can output pal signal? Or more precisely, you
need to check if your vcr can do ntsc-> pal conversion. Because you can only
feed pal signal to a pal tv card (it is hardware dependent)

Subject: RH5.2 and sound. . .
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 20:35:43 -0600
I recently installed RedHat 5.2; I had been using v5.1 and the sound
worked great (after upgrading to sox-12.14-2---same version which comes
with RH 5.2---and after telling sndconfig to not probe for my card).
RedHat 5.2 supposedly supports my sound card now (an ESS1688
AudioDrive), but when I use the ``play'' command, the sounds come out
garbled, unclear. If I use ``soxplay'' there is a loud pop heard right
before the sound is played (this problem I had under RH 5.1, but fixed
it with sox-12.14-2).
I appreciate any help with this. . .

I'm doing what I think you're after...
First, I have RedHat 5.1, running Sendmail to accept mail and send it
where it needs to go...
Second I installed the Imapd server, which provides "IMAP" services,
this allow you to access your internet email, while it stays on the
server, it lets me check my mail from just about anywhere, on multiple
clients, without needing to "download" all the messages each time.. just
the header info.
So far it has worked flawlessly, although I'm the only one currently
using IMAP on this server, it seems to handle my nearly 400 messages at
a time, without trouble. (ps. I'm not that popular, just too lazy to
delete the old stuff ;-) )

EPERM is a litle odd, bit I suspect what's happening is that there's a
samba process sitting inside the directory, so you can't mount anything
on top of it.

That's odd. Which version of samba are you using, and what does your
smb.conf look like?

FPU, does that mean Floating Point Unit? If so, I should think so . . . it's
a Cyrix PR166+. I should mention too that xfontsel _did_ work a while ago.
It just doesn't now, but I can't figure what change could have occured causing
this to happen. That's what I'd be real curious to have some assistance on.

There are simple kludges to do this. First, you can "fix" sendmail to
put in your ISP domain by filling in the blanks in these lines (which
almost certainly are already in your sendmail.cf file):
Cwlocalhost
# my official domain name
# ... define this only if sendmail cannot automatically determine your domain
#Dj$w.Foo.COM
# who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading) (see also $=M)
DM
Then, use fetchmail to bring your mail in and hand it off to
sendmail. Sendmail will automatically put it in the right place.
Then nmh will `inc' it as you expect. Sendmail will appropriately
rewrite the envelope on outgoing mail.
I did this for a year before getting my own domain name and it worked
fine. (I use mh-e in emacs.)

hmm. i went and hacked the compiler spec file. i am not sure what

gcc -v seemed messy but somewhere there's a -march=pentiumpro
you have my appologies for long lines.

afaik.
hope this helps.

I've gotten very suspicious of the SPEC benchmarks (or any benchmarks,
for that matter.) I've got a user who is finishing up her PhD thesis
and, as a result, is running her code on every machine she can find.
She has found that it runs faster on 200 MHz Pentium Pro and 133 MHz
Pentium boxes (running FreeBSD) than on a Sparc Ultra30, by as much
as a factor of two. According to all the SPEC benchmarks (the
floating point ones being the most relevant in this case) this makes
no sense. My guess is that performance is a _very_ sensitive function
of what the code is doing, the quality of the compilers, and the
exact details of the machine in question. If the above example is
typical, then benchmarks are only accurate to within a factor of
two or three.
