What about memory on a video card? At work with a Matrox AGP card and 8
meg of video RAM StarOffice does not have the problem of refreshing the
characters on the screen. But, at home, with only a 2 meg Diamond video
card, StarOffice refresh is so bad that it is basically unusable.

You need to look into using the genericstable feature of sendmail.
This will map your local name to the email address you want in your

Hi,
I'm looking for a program that will let me do a backup of my system to CD-R
under Linux. I know that I could tar some files and write them to a CD
easily, but I have to imagine that there's some Linux software out there that
will automate the process, and allow me to do some sort of differential /
incremental backups that only backup the data that's changed. I've seen
several programs (like AMANDA) that can do this under Linux for tape drives,
but never one after all my searching for CD-R. Also, I don't have one of
those packet-writing drives (I have an HP 6020) so the software can't just
write to a directory, it has to be software that writes directly to the drive
(probably using a program like cdwrite). Has anyone seen anything like this?
With the low cost of CD-R media, I would think it would be something a lot of
people would want. Thanks.
Nick

The FreeBSD scheduler is pretty darn good. People have tried to make
it better and failed.
Core routines to support native threads - specifically rfork(), have
been implemented in FreeBSD but they are not quite ready for prime time.
For example, rfork(RFPROC|RFMEM) cannot be called safely from C ( you
need some assembly to switch the stack ).
While it is true that threads, in general, are very light weight compared
to full blown 'processes', even those full blown processes are reasonably
light weight. It really isn't that big a deal unless you need to fork
hundreds of them. FreeBSD has optimized fork() up the wazoo.

Thanks for encouraging me. You see, this is my first job as a programmer and
I am trying to be prepared. I haven't started yet, so I am not sure what I
will need exactly, but from what I have been told, I can tell that:
- The main program is going to be in C++, so preferably it has to be a C++
library. From that point postgresql is not what I'm looking for.
- Also, my employer hasn't worked with Linux before and I assume for that
job he is looking for something that doesnot require a license. You know, he
is going to make a software for one specific customer, so even if he has to
buy a commercial thing it has to be cheap. I think if I'm able, I prefer to
use SQL.
- Finally, the problem that I always face with Linux is that the software is
always free, but to use it I have to buy a book. Nothing wrong with that. I
am just looking for an advice on a good book, so that I don't buy something
that turns out to be too elementary (since I already know C++).
Thanks again.

Dos/Windows has no concept of ownership of files, so Linux
assigns all files on a vfat drive to one user and group,
by default these are root. You can change these by adding
uid=##,gid=## to the options entry in the fstab line
(e.g. user,uid=100,gid=1000).
Check man mount, and man fstab for more details.

find . -name 'TRANS.TBL' -exec rm {} \;
or, if you're hell bent on piping
find . -name 'TRANS.TBL' -print | sed 's!^!rm !' | sh
sometimes this second form can very effective since sed (or awk) can
be used to perform major surgery and dispatch (e.g., if you wanted to

Personally I wouldn't power-down the disk drives on a desktop machine. On
a laptop battery life takes priority, but on a desktop power is cheap and
readily available. Probably about 99.999% of the bearing and head wear on
a disk drive is in the few seconds while the drive is spinning up and down.
Not to mention that each spin-up probably costs as much power as 5-6 hours
of steady running. For the same reason, I only turn the monitor to standby
( scan stopped and beams off but the tube is hot and the remainder of the
circuitry is live and ready to go ) rather than turning it completely off.
I had an opportunity to check the actual power consumption of my systems.
2 Pentiums and a ( for it's size rather power-hungry ) 486, attached
printers, monitors ( 17" and 15" ) and associated peripherals. The total
power consumption of all these, running at full power 24x7, amounted to
something like $15US/month. Minimal power-down of the monitor already
cuts half off that, I _might_ get another 25% by powering down everything,
but the couple of dollars a month that saves me isn't worth the wear and
tear on the hardware.
As I said, this is for desktop machines where wall power is available.
Laptops are another world altogether, and obviously if you go to UPS battery
draw even on a desktop you want to power down completely before the
batteries run out.

You know Tom what you say struck me as quite annoying, so I decided to cross
post it to comp.os.linux, which may be a stupid idea on my part but I don't
care. You words of what the Zealots say pissed me off, so what do you
consider yourself Tom ?
Your claims that people who are advocating Linux just want to be cool trendy
freaks is also kind of sickening. So you think Opensource is only really
valid in order to justify practice so that people can learn how to make
money later using UNIX. Then you might of missed the backing of Linux as an
alternative to UNIX by IBM and other companies. The fact that Information
Week has been covering for the last couple of issues since LinuxWorld. Also
Sun has recently opened sourced some of their JavaChips stuff in order to
let people without the money to develop them. Not to mention the
opensourcing of Mac Server X by Apple.
But no, anybody who supports a free OS is just a fruity communist zealot ?
Anything worthwile costs an arm and a leg and you get what you pay for eh ?
Ohh well. I doubt anybody will really respond to this anyways... And ways
