Hehe... another example of why I don't know why anyone would fork over
the cash for an "official" copy of RedHat. You can get Cheapbytes
(www.cheapbytes.com) version of RedHat for $1.99 (they just download all
the freely available stuff and put it on CD to save you the trouble of
downloading it yourself). The Cheapbytes version also comes with alot of
extra stuff (i.e. KDE!).
You can buy the official RedHat Installation Guide (a pretty good book,
actually) for about $15... which means you can get a complete RedHat system
with documentation for less than half the price RedHat charges for the
priviledge of opening a shrink-wrapped box. Well, I guess you do miss out
on their "90-days-only", "installation-issues-only", "email-only" tech
support... but you can get far better support anyway just by being a
regular subscriber to this newsgroup! <smile>
It deeply troubled me to see in one of these reply posts the notion
that RedHat will be promoting Gnome over KDE. I've seen and used both...
and while I understand that Gnome is not as far along in the development
process as KDE, what I've seen gives me the impression that it will NEVER
get to a point that I would like the product!
All of corporate sponsorships and investments seem to point in the
direction of RedHat becoming the de facto standard for the Linux mainstream
(hehe... I don't know if I ever expected the Linux community to grow to the
point where we might have a "mainstream" demographic!). I hope that KDE
doesn't get "Macintosh"-ed (when a superior product falls into obscurity
because it isn't as widely distributed).

Subject: ipchains help
I'm having a little trouble understanding the ipchains docs.
Basically I have two machines, a PC running Linux connected via
SLIP to the internet and another Linux box connected via ethernet
to the PC. The other Linux box has an IP address 192.168.0.1 and the
PC's ethernet is 192.168.0.2. I've set the gateway address on the other
machine to 192.168.0.2, installed the ipchains software and wrote this
little script to run on the PC:
#!/bin/sh
#
IPFDIR=.
$IPFDIR/ipchains -P forward DENY
$IPFDIR/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.0.2/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0
$IPFDIR/ipchains -M -S 900 120 300
Is my script alright? Is there any thing else I need to do? I have
used my
little private network successfully so far. Telnet, ftp etc work fine.
I have
nameservers running on both machines. Any tips/advice is appreciated.
I just want to use the tools on the other machine (netscape, ftp, etc)
to
access the internet through the PC.

I have just installed glibc on my linux box that has kernel 2.2.1. I
now wanted to recompile the kernel, cause I changed glibc after having
changed the kernel. Now I get all the time error messages, when I try
to run
make menuconfig
it says something that my curses.h causes problems.
Then I tried to reinstall glibc, because I thought this would solve
the problem, but even this installation stops now with an error.
The first errer could have been because I created a link
ln -s /usr/lib/g++include /usr/include/g++
but the source directory never existed. Could this have caused the
error??
Anybody has any idea what to do?

You ask the wrong question. Am I in an xterm? Well, you could check
getenv("TERM"), but what do you check for? "xterm", "xterm-color", maybe even
"rxvt"? What about screen running inside an xterm? In that case, your program
is isolated from all of xterm's funcionality except for the basic vtXXX
stuff, so you really _can't_ know that you're in an xterm.
What you really want to know is whether there is an X display you can use.
getenv("DISPLAY")!=NULL is the right test.

Well, since it is not an emulator, probably pretty good.
You can ask Interix for a demo copy and try it yourself.
It is an native implementation of the Unix/Posix API and utilities.
Emulator is usualy the wrong word for these sort of things,
and should reserved for hardware emulation.
Wine Is Not an Emulator either.

I am looking for a way to automatically respond to certain email

send a request for more info from another web site. Right now, someone
has to respond to the request manually. I would like to have my Redhat
Linux box automatically respond when the message is received. I know
this is common, I just need some direction as to what program allows
this. Perhaps I need to write scripts to perform what I need done. I
would like my Redhat box to check for new mail, autorespond to the
proper messages, then forward the remaining messages to a user on my
internal LAN.
Could anyone point me in the right direction of documentation, programs,
methods, etc?

Yes. It either works or it doesn't.
In my case in NT it does and in Linux it doesn't.
In the past I set up KPPP and it did connect, at 9600bps though.
Now not at all.
I don't even get text in the terminal window, so this problem seems to be
even before PPP or anything.
It get a single line that keeps running which is basically
PP P | |P | || P P P P | P
I have no clue what is up with this.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I'm running NT4 SP3 right now. I have to say Win98 isn't total crap. It if
light years ahead of NT in driver support and it is faster and more
efficient (and simplier). It may run apps slower and be less stable, but it
is not nearly as bloated and screwed up. Windows 2000 is breaking NT even
futher. NT's future seems to not be as bright. NT4 SP4 is a sign of things
to come. The shutdown time can approach 20-30 seconds whereas Win98 can
shutdown on a dime. Do you say Win98 is total crap because it is less
stable than NT?
