Subject: Which Linux Distribution to Install?
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 20:04:57 GMT
Dear Experts:
I have Red Hat 5.1 Linux from Linux Unleashed book and also Caldera OpenLinux
Lite from another book (this distribution seems old from the dates on the
CD). I am wondering which distribution to install. Any recommendations?
I have Windows installed on my current hard disk and I have been considering
purchasing another hard disk and installing Linux on it. Would it be possible
to do so, ie make one disk Primary Master and the second Primary Slave?
Could anyone advise on how to install Windows 95 on one IDE hard disk and
Linux on another IDE hard disk and have the choice to select one OS or the
other at boot up.

Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 23:16:03 GMT
Hello Folks.
Thanks for all of the discussion on this topic. However, I am still a
bit puzzled about the nature (as opposed to the nomenclature) that now
attaches to links.
We used to have i-nodes that were controlled in kernel land. The
kernel kept a count of links to an i-node and deleted anything that
had zero (or less ;-) links to it.
Now, in modern-day Unix/Linux, what happens if there are zero (or
less) hard links to an i-node but one (or more) soft links to it? Does
the kernel zap the node, leaving some rather useless soft links, or
does it keep the node?
I suppose that my real problem is in understanding why anyone thought
that another type of link might be useful at all. I just cannot get
why one might want to create a soft or a hard link to a node (in
preference to the other type) at all. Just what do they offer and how
are they different from hard links (or what I would just call links)?
>From my present aspect, the idea of soft links seems to have dragged
the uniform and logical file (and other things) system I used to deal
with years ago towards the rather ragged "real file and aliases"
system that originated in MP/M and lives on in Win98/VFAT. Now,
please, someone tell me why this is progress in the uniXverse!

Alistair

They always come up with that old chestnut, even though it's blatantly
untrue.
There was actually a program on TV last night about Turing and decoding the
enigma.
We intercepted a coded message about a german fleet of submarines heading
for the east coast of the USA, *WARNED* the USA about "operation drumbeat",
and gave them all the info they needed to avoid or defeat the threat...
And guess what happened....
The US navy chose to totally ignore it, and ALLOW 500 ships to be sunk.

The odd and even numbers refer to series or major patchlevels, for example
the 2.1.x series was the development kernel and 2.0.x was the stable
kernel. Whether or not a patch for 2.0.36 or 2.0.34 will work
on a 2.0.35 tree depends mostly on the content of the patch. Usually
if the versions are fairly close it will apply cleanly or only require
some minor changes.

You need a plugin or if one is not available you can subsitute a "helper
application" The latter is sometimes a problem for embedded sounds but
several people have developed generic plugins that can be used as a
workaround. A good list of available plugins is at

I moved mine from a Cyrix 6x86 200 to a 5x86 and finally to an AMD 233. All
worked fine, given a kernel recompile for the 5x86. No trouble whatsoever.
Simultaneously, I moved an NT installation between 2 Pentium class mboards,
and it took a messy crap all over the registry- stuff so subtly blown up, I
could never track the problem down. I had to reinstall NT for petes sake!

Yeah, because we were "neutral" until Dec 7, 1941 and so sat on our

Kernels are (generally) numbered using the scheme a.b.cc where:
a is the major version number
b is the minor version number
cc is the patch level
Whether a and cc are even or odd is irrelevant. If b is odd, you are
dealing with a "development" kernel - possibly unstable. If b is even,
you have a "stable" kernel - less likely to be unstable.

Hi,
I've tried compiling 2.2 numerous times, at 45 minutes each, and gotten
various errors each time. The most recent is this. I compile with a "make
zImage" and copy the resulting arch/i386/boot/zImage file to /vmlinuz and
reboot. Lilo stops at "uncompressing Linux" and tells me that there is a
crc error or that there is a bad compression type. I can't think of any
reason this would be happening. Gzip seems to work fine, and the kernel
compiles without errors. I did get it to run once, but I had to recompile
as I had left out support for my hard drive. Will a "make bzImage" likely
fix my problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

As I have never been in the military in any other country (not that I
haven't had offers) I must therefore use my experience in the US Navy.
Yes, we often had foreign nationals contracted to do work onboard ship.
Especially when in port overseas. Case in point - the third ship I was
stationed on was homeported in Yokosuka Japan. We regularly had
Japanese shipyard workers onboard. This is an American base -
technically American soil. Same thing happened in Korea. Same thing in
Bahrain. Same thing in Australia.
Talking to military from a few other countries (Australia, some
Europeans [don't remember nationality - we met in a bar]) the same
happens in other countries. So to answer your question - yes I do think
so.

Try Blackbox, you'll love it.
It's very small and doesn't have a bunch of crap on the screen.
I just looked at the memory usage for it and under ps -aux it says

There _is_ a smiley at the end ...
My "national pride" isn't too wrapped up in this, but for
the sake of discussion let's compare:
British invasion of Europe - Dunkirk
US/Canadian/British invasion of Europe - Normandy
(I had meant to originally add a * to indicate "American"
meant both Canada and USA)
Perhaps you've seen too many films where Richard Todd or
Jack Hawkins wins the war. I know I've seen too many John

This is interesting - I'm not aware of any incident anywhere
where 500 ships were sunk, much less off the US east coast.
Got a date and place?
IMHO, from what I've read about Enigma, the Brits were very
reluctant to allow direct use of any intelligence gathered
via these intercepts for fear of compromising the operation
at Bletchley. That makes me even more skeptical of this event.
There was an excellent biography (dramatized) of Turing on
PBS about a month ago - I believe it was produced in the UK.

I got to the point of the RH 5.1 install where it was copying the files to
the hard drive (two progress bars and a module counter) and it CRASHED!
there was some text written over the progress screen witch ended in the
phrase "it is now safe to reboot" so I reboot. Now my machine tests the
memory, shows the drive summary screen and then says "Press any key to
reboot" and stays in that loop. What can I do? I can't even access my C:\
drive or my CD-ROM!!!!! HELP!!!!!

Is this possible? I have Samba running, and I can work with that, but
there are times when it would be better if the Windows file system
were exportable and NFS mountable on the Linux side.
Any clues for me? Thanks.
