Not an rpm, but detailed instructions to allow you to roll your own.
In particular, it has a link to a crucial configuration file:

This is very subjective so I won't comment. I'll just say that I use
Debian and won't use anything else. Mostly because of the philosophy of
Debian.

X doesn't actually take up much hard disk space. Maybe tens of megabytes
but I'm not sure.

Yes, the commandline and emacs (or VI is your that kind of guy) combined
with other tools such as make, CVS etc. If your looking for a GUI IDE
then I have no idea. I can suggest that you use ddd as a debugger.

I'd get a CD. It is so much easier to install off a CD. That said Debian
does a good installation manual which details what you need to download.
Debian also a complete list of all their packages. Take at look at
http://www.debian.org/. I have installed Debian by downloading files onto
floppies and then copying then onto my Linux box; its not the most fun
I've ever had.
Sorry about the Debian bias but thats the only distribution I have had any
experience about.

I know that there are quad Intel boxes, just as I know there are lower
priced Alpha systems.. the ones I originally mentioned were somewhat
equivalent in a server environment (without getting into the details of
the MB architecture) in that they had the same amount of memory (256MB),
the same amount of disk space (9.1GB) and the same type of disk
subsystem (U2W SCSI)... one *primary difference is that its a *single*
Alpha vs. a *dual* Intel at approximately the same clock speed (533Mhz
for Alpha, vs 500Mhz for Intel). Some app mixes would do better on the
dual Intel setup, other mixes would do better on the single Alpha
system...

We have a sort of semi-official policy (hopefully pre-empting trouble)
here, that posts to public forums should not include our E-mail
signatures in machine-readable form. The idea is (1) to avoid the usual
spam, but (2) to avoid complaints of the "<insert name of my employer>
states officially that <insert incorrect claim>" variety. Simply
avoiding spam is pretty important - we have users who want us to report
the senders of "Click here for XXX hardcore" spam mails, to the local
police. Duh...
Since I always read the newsgroups if I want a reply, I don't mind not
getting replies by mail. Unfortunately, Netscape seems to insist that I
put something with an @ in it, so [EMAIL PROTECTED] (there it goes
again, hello spambots) seemed like a fun idea at the time.

You need to add or modify scripts under /etc/rc.d to automatically start
system processes, or add entries to your user or system crontab to
automatically run processes at specified times. There is no need (and
considerable risk) to automatically loggin in at a terminal or console
without a password.

I think *performace* is the key to the "farms" as opposed to
"price/performace ratio"... when you're looking at large clusters &
farms, you want each individual processing node to have good
performance... As I mentioned in a previous post, low-end Alphas are
competing agains high-end Intel...if you want individual node
performance *better* than the low-end Alpha, then forget about Intel...
particularly when your dual cpu 21264 systems have a SpecFP95 value
pushing a factor of 10 greater than the top dual cpu Intel system...

There is also a helpful Howto doc:

I'm using an old millenium I with 8 megs that I picked up on closeout for $85.
It works great! The matrox cards have hardware accelerated fbcon.

The point was to have AOL put a LINUX distribution on their promotional
disk, not to attempt a second burning. The point being that AOL signup
disks seem
to be as ubiquitous as Publisher's Clearing House Entry forms. The
original request
starting this thread was to get Linux into as many hands as inexpensively as
possible.

Subject: Red Hat 5.1 and Backpack CD-ROM Trouble
Date: 15 Mar 1999 19:18:12 GMT
I recently purchased an old 486-based laptop with 8 megabytes of RAM and a
510 megabyte internal hard drive (an AST "PowerExec"), and am trying to
install Linux from the Red Hat (version 5.1) distribution CD-ROMs, via
a MicroSolutions "Backpack" external CD-ROM drive.
I created a boot floppy disk with RAWRITE.EXE.
I encountered no difficulties, until I tried to specify that I would be
installing from the Backpack CD-ROM drive. At this point, I got the
following (rather ominous) message:
"In some cases, the bpcd driver needs to have extra information
to work properly, although it normally works fine without. Would
you like to specify extra options for it or allow the driver to
probe ypir ,acjome fpr the information it needs? Occasionally,
probing will hang a computer, but it should not cause any damage."
Hoping for the best, I allowed the installation software to "Autoprobe"
for the Backpack CD-ROM drive. Unfortunately, I got the following (even
more discouraging) message:
"I can't find the device anywhere on your system."
Discouraged, but not defeated, I went back, and chose "Specify options"
instead of "Autoprobe," and got this (in a dialog box entitled "Module
Parameters"):
"Module Options: _____________"
I checked the CD-ROM "HOWTO," and found nothing that looked like the
solution to this problem. I also looked in the books I had on hand
("Running Linux, 2nd Edition" and "Linux Unleashed, 3rd Edition"), and
found nothing there, either (but I'm not particularly surprised, since
both were fairly general guides, and this looks like a pretty picky
problem).
I have no reason to believe there is anything wrong with the CD-ROM drive
hardware itself -- it works quite nicely under MS-DOS and Windows 3.1
(indeed, that is how I got RAWRITE.EXE and the boot disk image).
Does anyone know how to get Red Hat to locate and recognize my
BackPack CD-ROM drive? What have I done wrong, or failed to do?

Look into your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny and add
an entry like

into the /etc/hosts.allow. Read hosts_access(5) for further

What are your opinions of the Celeron 300 MHz vs a
Mobile PII 266 MHz processor for running Linux on
a notebook? The Celeron can be overclocked to 450 MHz,
can the PII also be overclocked? Any comments?

Subject: Soundblaser hisses under Linux
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:57:59 GMT
Hi all:
I've just configured my sondblaster under Linux 2.2.3.
I compiled kernel with sound support as modules.
I added to conf.modules:
alias sound sb
parameters sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
When I do modprobe sb, the modules load w/o any errors, and I hear quite
annoying hiss comming from the speakers.
The card doesn't produce *any* hissing under NT.
Any ideas? My distro is Debian 2.1 for what that matters...
Thanx,
Arcady

Have you tried moving around the memory chips. I recently read that
it could be a problem for Linux but not others if the chips use
different timings.

Subject: WordPerfect 8 not displaying properly...
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 11:22:07 -0500
Hi all,
I just installed Corel's WordPerfect * for Linux, and while the program
seems to run, all the icons, button, splash screens, or anything that
involves graphics is completely garbled. I've never had any other
problem with any other application, including Netscape, GIMP, or xv.
I'm running it on Red Hat 5.1 with X11R6, Afterstep, and an S3 Virge
board. Anyone experience something similar?

I've hear that the PII's ending in an odd number (i.e., 266) are
set to a lower bus speed. Can anybody confirm this? Or disconfirm
it as the case may be.
