I am not aware of any Windows Rock Ridge driver, although WinImage
(http://www.winimage.com/) can read Rock Ridge files from an image copy of a
CD.
If you need long filenames under both Unix and Windows, then you need to
create a CD with both the Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions. Newer versions of
mkisofs can do this (ftp://andante.jic.com/pub/mkisofs).

in the end, it's personal preference. my favorite is redhat, but don't be
afraid to try a few, and end up sticking with the ones you like. debian is
also a very well-done distro. slackware is much simpler (it basically
just gives you the system, and lets you run with it, while the others
encourage (but don't force) you to use the various package management and
system config utils), but it's still linux, and is still quite popular, esp
among diehards.

with the exceptions of a few bits of code used only during boottime to init
the CPU, yes (at least on x86, it is - true 64bit arch's like alpha are
pure 64bit throughout, and even other 32bit ones like older sun's or
StrongARM are pure 32bit. so, it depends on the hardware ;)

hrm... last i looked, it only supported them as cdrom drives. however,
there is work for reading DVD's, so if this is still the case, it's
definatelly going to change.

best to check with whatever distro you're going with. while all distro's
start with the same linux codebase, each one tends to ship slightly
different drivers, different versions, etc, so it's best just to check with
the docs beforehand. that said, as long as you get fairly common hardware,
you should be all set.

very much so.

www.cheapbytes.com is my fav.

as i said, linux is already 64 bit on supported 64 bit arch's, so yes, it
will be 64 bit on the new ia64 arch.

The use of /dev/cua<n> is deprecated. Change your mouse/modem and

Look in /etc/conf.modules. At a minimum, you can do something like this:

This will turn off loading for those particular modules so aliased.

Gnus includes a feature called `agent' that will allow you to d/l news
and read it offline. I don't use it so I don't really know how it
works; but you may want to check into it. Gnus rules for reading
news, AFAIAC. Gnus has a great scoring system which allows you to
quickly and easily highlight or trash articles according to just about
any criterion you can think of. It has lots of other useful features;
my favorites are the ability to reformat articles with too-long line
lengths (you know, the kind that have one word on every other line)
and to selectively removed quoting from articles that have 90 lines of
quoting and 10 lines of response.
It even can be set up to do mail, if for some reason you're crazy
about the idea of doing both mail and news in the same prog.

There's not a lot to be called state-of-the-art in terminals. :-)
Wyse terminals - depending on model - can be slow or fast.
The Wyse50 was always faster than the Wyse60. The latter was much
like the former, but while stopping short of having a temrinal
emulation for every entry in the standard termcap file, the amount
of emulations and the options made it run far slower. You don't
typically find bloatware burned into firmware.
The 160 was a pretty decent fast terminal. It also will permit
two active sessions at one with it's 2 serial prots and 1 parallel
port.
One of the niftiest of the character terminals was the Link MC-10.
The concept was wonderful, the implementation was about the worst
of any I've seen.
One 'neat' feature is that you could cut and paste inside the
terminal. By that I mean that if you logged onto one system, you
could postion the cursor and area to be cut, and then move to the
other terminal emulation and paste it into that session. Made
moving things between differing systems easy.
However - avoid them at all costs. I still have one in a box
packed away somewhere after it made at least two trips back to the
factory.
Link 5's are ok. Last ones that I saw were $8 each with keyboard?

How do I tell Linux (Redhat5.2) that I have 128MB RAM? At the moment
when I top, it only recognises 64MB RAM. No wonder loading KDE and
Netscape 4.5 totally mashes up the machine to 286 speeds!

Sorry, I had still to say it in the 80's but it disappeared when I left
grade school. Strangely not because of objection to the pledge itself,
but because it was deemed less important than using that time for

The requested URL (Universal Resource Locator) "/~stu19/hum2e03/o" was not
found on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate,
or the server has been instructed not to let you have it.
Convenient to use links that don't work to make your case.
And speaking of not admitting you were wrong, I guess that point I made about
Babbage didn't deserve a rebuttal. Or did I have a point after all? Funny
how you ignored that one. If you remember, I was not the one who was doing
the chest-beating about my country. In fact, YOU were the one chock full of
pride and superiority by association because the computer was "invented" in
your country. The excuse that your chest-beating was in response to someone
else's precludes you from taking the moral high ground in this issue.
Remember, I NEVER insisted the computer was invented in the U.S. MY point
was there are so many technologies involved in the computer that it's
impossible to assign credit to ANY one country, let alone individual. All
you can do is give credit for technolgy milestones. And that comment about
"Machismo Americans" (actually machismo is a noun, so your grammar is all
fucked up here) is a generalization, which takes you even further from the
moral high ground and just shows you lack objectivity. As for myself, I
don't care what country you are from. At one level, however, we agree. You
think the assertion that the computer was invented in the U.S. is incorrect.
I agree with that. I just happen to disagree with your counter-statement to
the effect that it was invented in the U.K. Do Brits deserve credit for the
development of the computer? Certainly! SOLE credit? Give me a break.

Subject: setting up linux server with store and forward email service
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 23:25:27 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm wanting setup a linux server to be hosted by my ISP. The machine
will have a sql database, sendmail, apache, etc. installed. I want
sendmail setup to store and forward the companies email using SMTP.
I want to create the server here and be able to dial in to it so I can
test everything before taking it to my ISP. If you have put together
this type of arrangement I would appreciate it if you would tell me
the steps I need to take to get this show on the road.
I have a working network now. The 'Corporate Server' is setup as a
website, dhcp, print, and mail server (192.168.1.1 �
255.255.255.192). There are 3 winblows workstations attached to this
network. I have two additional machines with modems that I can use to
create the setup (also another hub if needed).
I must admit that I do not know where to begin to create this
scenario. It would be nice to have the machines connected to the
existing network so I can use smb to copy files etc. and then
disconnect from the network and use modems to check out the final
setup. I think I have all the required hardware, now I just need a
plan. You input would be most appreciated.
TIA
Jim

Look at the man pages.
Check the docs that came with your sendmail distribution.
Get the Bat book ("Sendmail" from O'Reilly and Associates; www.oreilly.com).
Surf over to www.sendmail.org.
What version of sendmail do you have? If you mention that, and go into a
little more detail about the problems you're experiencing, you can probably
get good assistance here as well.
Good luck.
