***************
RedHat has available a beta version of their
next release. This is called "Starbuck" and
can be downloaded - if you have have a good
enough internet connection to allow for a
400MB transfer. The most recent version is
5.9.7 and was posted April 8. It has the 2.2.5
kernel, both single and multi-processor versions,
Gnome and KDE, and lots of other nice things.
The install is simple, but RedHat has always been
good on that point.
There are problems, but most that I have seen
involve buggy software. For example, Netscape 4.5.1
crashes repeatedly, especially whenever
a separate Messenger window is opened.

Hi Yall,
REgarding: Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI Sound Card...
Looks like it works in 2.2.5 Kernel using es1371....
As Taken from linux/Documentation/sound/es1371:
...
This driver does not support the ALaw/uLaw sample formats.
ALaw is the default mode when opening a sound device
using OSS/Free. The reason for the lack of support is
that the hardware does not support these formats, and adding
conversion routines to the kernel would lead to very ugly
code in the presence of the mmap interface to the driver.
And since xquake uses mmap, mmap is considered important :-)
and no sane application uses ALaw/uLaw these days anyway.
In short, playing a Sun .au file as follows:
cat my_file.au > /dev/dsp
does not work. Instead, you may use the play script from
Chris Bagwell's sox-12.14 package (available from the URL
below) to play many different audio file formats.
The script automatically determines the audio format
and does do audio conversions if necessary.
http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/cbagwell/projects.html
...
ONE Strange Thing is: cat /dev/sndstat Displays nothing!
Does anyone have any sure-fire procedure for properly loading
Sound Modules required by this 1371 Card? IE, is an OPL2/3
driver needed... uart401 needed? what else!?
Any Help/Comments are appreciated!!
later,
al-man

Netscape 3.04 is smaller than 4.x; it's available from
the archives section at the Netscape site. I use the
netscape-wrapper package with it.
Another smaller/faster browser is chimera. There's a Debian
package available; it can be converted to an rpm by using alien.

I have linux installed on a separate harddrive on my home computer. I normally
worked in Windows98, using GVIM to doTeX coding..
I installed Linux to be able to use TeX, composing files, checking errors, etc.
All my files on disk are basically ascii files. I've read several docs on how
to mount a floppy. For the life of me I cannot get to the floppy files on disk.
I get an error saying floppy already mounted, too many...But I still cannot
even view the files on the floppy. This system is not even reading the floppy.
Can someone give me a consistant "no-fail" way to mount and view floppies so
that I can use these files on Linux and use their TeX program?

don't want to have to change everything to a different group. I also don't

No, these folks (or their parents, roommates, etc.) actually tend to
have very nice hardware, often their parents' 450MHz Dells or Gateways

for themselves, and/or nice Solaris or *BSD workstations at school. I

As for compromise, yeah, 90% of them will learn to sell out someday,
and do things they know are wrong in order to make a living, just like
you and me and 90% of the other people in this completely fucked-up
industry.
But thank God for the other 10%.

I would like to see better quality free IDEs for GUI work (similar to
Delphi) and Office-like packages. Gratis versions of both do exist,
but not free (libre) ones, and it is freedom rather than cost that I'm
most concerned about.
We're only a year or so away from having both if current trends continue.
As for home users, much of what they do consists of (a) Web surfing,
e-mail etc., (b) word processing, and (c) games. Few games support
Linux yet, but they will, and in the other areas, the Linux offerings
are already much more numerous and varied than the Windows
alternatives.

That will change. It's already changed enough that Linux is my
primary platform. That wouldn't have been possible even a year ago.
And as was always true of the Mac, for instance, there are just as
many *good* apps available for either platform. There are more titles
available for Windows, sure, but most of them frankly are of low
quality. Windows itself is hacked-together crap, which mutates
constantly and tends to break older programs. There is no need for
Windows software to be more robust than the very buggy OS on which it
runs, and furthermore, Windows programs tend to have short life cycles
since "system upgrades" tend to break them. Thus, there is very
little incentive for Windows developers to maximize quality. Users of
Windows simply don't expect it. If they did, they woudln't be using
Windows in the first place.

Yes it is possible. I'm not all that familiar with Linux myself but I've
installed Linux and Win95 on one HDD. I Installed 95 first. Use the fdisk
command so it wont take up the entire drive. Then I installed Linux.
You'll have the option to make Linux partitions and all that. You'll
probably have to have a small swap partition too (just 16MB or so). Then
you can use LILO to boot either OS. When you get to the LILO config you'll
se the two OS's. The first one (you can change it) is the default for boot.
I hope that gets you started.

Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 10:57:20 -0400
Hello,
We have 3 pc's here running Linux, each has a 100BaseT card in it.
Currently we have many test programs sending and receiving data. They
all are experiencing this problem.
In the simplest program, we are sending a vector of complex floats. The
vector size varies, usually we have it set to be 4096. The sends and
receives are fine - both sides sending and receiving correct data.
The data rates are extremely important to our project so the faster the
better.
We run the programs to send and receive these vectors between 2 pcs and
we do nothing else so as not to slow anything down at all. BUT (here's
the kicker) We've found if we move the mouse, it speeds everything up.
We get better data rates and the program finishes faster.
We've exited out of Xwindows and tried it at the prompt. Same thing.
I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.
Any ideas on how to get the mouse out of the picture, or what the
problem really is?
Thanks,

OS/2 can run as a LPD server. On os/2 run LPD.EXE
The queue names are in the printer properties, physical name (View tab). Or just
look at the directory names in your c:\spool directory. For each printer on OS/2
you will have a directory in the \spool directory. On my OS/2 box I have a HP
LaserJet 4000N and its spool directory is c:\spool\HPLaserJ and the LPR queue
linux would print to is: HPLaserJ
Long live OS/2!! :)

I kinda like Mozilla, and feel that it could have promise...
but from the criteria you listed, I wouldn't recommend it to you.
It's not as stable as the commercial releases of Communicator.
I also have a feeling (based on the things I've been reading
since the Netscape-AOL buyout) that Mozilla is kind of dead (or
rapidly dying). The guy who's been in charge of it recently quit
because he feels that AOL is running it into the ground... and was
dissapointed that only about 30 or so programmers outside of Netscape
have contributed code so far up to this point.
