I think this is a tad unfair. I'm disappointed that Linus doesn't
want to enable large memory addressing on the x86.
There's a lot more software available for the x86, even on Linux, than
on other platforms. Also, x86 boxes are much cheaper than Alphas and
PowerPC's. The cost of the extra memory somewhat softens the blow,
but 4 GB of RAM is about $6000 these days, so the economics are very
different from what they were a few years ago.
Job mixes that are more memory/IO than computation intensive (which is
the case for a lot of commercial data processing) would benefit
greatly from the availability of large memory on commodity hardware.

Yes, I have one of those too - it's really the Intel TX chipset that's at
fault - a marketing ploy to get us to switch to P2's, the limitation is
purposefully built-in.
Don't even try using more than 64MB, your system will be intolerable slow.
Now I heard that in linux there was a workaround in that you could use the
memory above 64MB as a ramdisk, and then use that ramdisk as a swap
partition! I have no IDEA how to do that, but several people on the kernel
mailing list talked about it at one time, maybe you can find reference to it
in the archives or something.
This would be almost as good as having the extra memory.

It's called .rhosts as well.

Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 11:15:14 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My dad mailed me with this problem at his company; mainly he's
complaining about dumb NT problems, but he'd like to hear about
potential Linux solutions. I don't personally know a lot about SAS and
db setup, but couldn't something be arranged with SAMBA and a scaleable
Linux db? 'course, I've heard SAMBA isn't particularly speedy...
==============included mail message============
Some statements were made in a meeting with our IS associates yesterday,
where we were discussing an Actuarial Dept. request to order and install
a 1/2 TB server to house a 1/4 TB loan performance database. We also
requested a copy of SQLserver, to provide some performance boost for our
SQL processing (SAS, our main analytical tool, has a Proc SQL which
will work without a relational database manager, but if such a DBMS is
in place, SAS hands "big" tasks off to the manager).
The IS application development manager sees a need to be involved in
this setup because, he says, without some sort of external controls in
place, an excessively large processing task handed off to SQLserver can
bring down the network and hose the original database. I am surprised
that the product does not have some sort of built in "look ahead" which
would prevent it from running outside of its assigned space (say,
attempting to send the 1/2 TB output of a table join across the network,
or running out of space to write the output and overwriting parts of the
existing table structure). Or, if the product itself does not have such
constraints, why the operating system (NT) doesn't just abort the
program.
Could anyone enlighten me on why this happens, and what is wrong with my
expectation that an "enterprise class" operating system and data
management application should not behave this way? If detailed
explanations take too long, URL references to appropriate articles would
be helpful. I already have the "NT vs Unix" collection that someone
referred me to a while ago, but some specific references to such
problems with SQLserver or other DBMS products would be helpful.
Is there a DBMS solution in the family of tools available under Linux
that does not have this objectionable behavior, and can be configured
together with SAS?

You can use the alias facility provided by the shell. Alias the ls
command to ls --color in your .cshrc file $HOME/.cshrc:
alias ls ls --color.
Next time you log in and type ls, the shell will execute ls --color.

Seems to me the most valuable thing IBM could do (as owners of Lotus)
is to port Lotus SmartSuite to Linux (and Unix in general maybe), thus
making a big hole in the (legitimate) criticism that Linux is lacking

I recently upgraded my system to a K6-2 350 based board and

it will slowly drop to near 0% and then jump back to 30%. Using

I hate to join in, but I must....
Win32 will not self destruct. Neither will Linux. Win32 will continue to own
the desktop - of all the apps I have to use to be competitive, only WP8 is ported
to linux. And I could use any wordprocessor. Until the really big, high end
apps port to Linux it will be restricted to back office stuff.
That said, I dumped NT server for Linux last year. I simply could not get the
reliability and performance out of NT that I needed. Even simple file server and
internet tasks would run CPU util to 30% (with only 6 users on the network).
Linux never gets above 5%. Backups would noticeably slow network performance
with over 80% CPU util under NT. Now I can run backups, file service, etc. and
hardly go over 30% CPU util.
And, most importantly, our server has not crashed in over two weeks. With NT, it
was a regular (every other day or so) occurence.
This is where Linux will shine. I use NT server for authenitcation, as samba is
still not up to snuff on the PDC stuff, but all my heavy duty file service,
firewall, internet access, etc. is done on a Linux box. I will never go back to
NT server. Even the smallest things require GUI interface, so if some MS weenie
did not think to put it in the app, it's not accessible. Give me a simple line
command interface (as in NT 5?!) and I'll be happy.

i'll bet you upgraded your binutils. i know because this happened to

follow the advice in the release notes and
rm /usr/bin/encaps
really.
the kernel makefile uses (rather stupidly since it is far from
foolproof as you've just discovered) the presense of encaps to
determine the binutils version. get rid of encaps and the makefile
will call the appropriate program with the right options.
hope this helps.

I tried to overclock my 300A using a 83MHz bus and my i740 gfx card
didn't like it. It was, however, happy at 66 and 75MHz, and is labelled
as running at 100. This looks like a deliberate act on the part of Intel
(since some competitors' cpus run at 83), but maybe I'm just being
paranoid.
Of course, I'm having a few problems getting the card to work with linux
anyway, but that's another story...

Or, if you're like me, check that you didn't try to execute a directory,
by leaving off a cd or pushd command. Oddly, I seem to do that on the
work Unix system, but not on my Linux at home. [The first few times, my
initial reaction was: "but I'm running as root, so I have permission".
Not to execute a directory, though. ;-) ]

Under this argument, shouldn't all "free" code be public domain? Why
have any licence at all?
