Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 07:54:45 GMT
Hi,
I need to replace my existing 2D video card, with an AGP one (to free
up slots). Does anyone have any recommendations ? It only needs to
be 2-D as I have a Voodoo card, and I don't really want to spend a
huge amount of money.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Simon.
P.S If possible cc me on your reply.

No people wouldn't give up, for some people it is a mission (a sort of
puzzle for them). It only takes one person or group to crack something then

And we believe this because it is true. Anything that can be built, can be
torn down, it might take time but it would come down. Remember the 256bit
super encryption "Realistically Uncrackable" they said, would take years of
computing time to crack it. Only took 3 weeks to fall down to a small group
of intelligent hackers. As long as there are people putting up road blocks
their will be those following them tearing them down.

Hi,
Sorry not a direct answer to you but more a question to those who are
familiar with MI/X. I think I read somewhere in the docs that MI/X
supports or emulates X11R5. I'm running X11R6 on my linux box of
course so what will that mean for compatibility issues? So far it
seems to run twm, it's default, fine. WindowMaker it doesnt seem to

"Stupid things"? Like installing software where it wants to be installed?
It's not FreeBSD that puts bash and perl [I bet that one gets you, too, huh?]
into /usr/local/bin, it's the developers themselves. Read the INSTALL file
in the bash2.02 tarball straight from the FSF: -- By default, `make install'
will install into `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'. --
The fact that Linux installs everything in the world into /usr/bin is just
plain _wrong_. When Linux installs do that, they are ignoring the defaults
set down by the developers of those applications. Is it really that
troublesome to have to type "make --prefix=/usr/bin install" rather than
"make install"?
Want to talk about an OS that does "stupid" things by default? Some
distributions of Linux come with the Berkeley Packet Filter turned on by
default. Now, take a look at these lines from the LINT file for the kernel on
FreeBSD:
--
# The `bpfilter' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter. Be
# aware of the legal and administrative consequences of enabling this
# option. The number of devices determines the maximum number of
# simultaneous BPF clients programs runnable.
--
[SunOS used to have similar warnings... I've never seen them with any Linux
distribution]
Notice the part about _legal_ _consequences_? Having a BPF enabled on a box
sitting on a cable modem (or other shared line, such as some college dorm
LANs) is the legal equivalent of putting a wiretap on your neighbor's phone
line. I'd call *that* a "stupid thing". Install Linux on a computer in your
dorm room, and guess what? You just provided the University with legal
grounds to kick you out of housing, if not the school entirely.
FreeBSD follows the rules. Yes, that may make it seem boring and square and
old-fashioned, but that's what serious admins want. Linux is a toy for
hackers.

Date: Wed, 05 May 1999 08:31:51 GMT
what you want do to is:
in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
there is a file called ifcfg-eth0 which normally starts up your FIRST
ethernet card.
make a second file called ifcfg-eth1 which looks like the first one, but
has the IP numbers for your second card. the way it works is that your
rc files look in the init.d directory and basically start up all
ifcfg-<device><number> files. if i remember correctly, the graphical
setup for redhat(and caldera and slackware of old) doesnt handle the
second interface/device.
its a very simple fix. they do not need to be on two different
subnetworks, though i cant imagine why you would want two on the same
sub network.
then just look at your routing table. make sure you have a gateway(if
you want to get to the net)
when you run ifconfig you should get at least 3 entries.
lo, eth0 and eth1. if you have the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 in the
network-scripts directory and its till not working, make sure you look
at your bootup messages to make sure that BOTH ethernet cards are being
seen. use #dmesg, you should see entries for eth0 and eth1. if your
kernel doesnt see them, you'll need to either recompile the kernel to
include them or recompile the modules and make sure that the depmod -a
is loading the correctly.
hope this helps

If you're using prive (non-legal) IP you have to run masquerade on the
serwer (find something like masq*-howto). The server should have also IP
forwarding turned on.
If you can get legal IP (from your university class) you have only turn ip
forwarding on on the serwer.
Don't forget to set /etc/resolv.conf on your home machine (if you don't
know how to do it check in ISP-Hook-Howto and Net-3-Howto)

That definition does not necessarily lead to a desirable situation.
My economics class was a long time ago and I've probably forgotten
most of it, but IIRC there were many requirements in the ideal free
market. Among other things, there must be no barriers to entry and
exit and there should be a very large number of independent sellers
and buyers. (Real free markets are rare in the world, most markets are
monopolies and oligopolies).
In THAT kind of free market, government intervention may do more harm
than good. An "invisible hand" regulates the price. I wouldn't go into
the detailed explanation as to why this is so. I can't say I remember
the arguments clearly, but there was a clear line of reasoning. It
certainly is more than the simple faith in the statement that a "free
market = good" and "govt regulation = bad".

Well I guess they had a stupid implementation. I would not expect
Intel to be so stupid as to provide a key visible to the software.
There are packaging technologies which can make it very hard to extract
information such as a key from the hardware. Some are actually quite
good. I would imagine that if billions of dollars were at stake, Intel
could figure it out.
If they screwed up the first time, they would learn and try again.
Having tens of billions to spend to protect hundreds of billions is
quite formatible.
I don't look forward to such a thing, but see it coming someday.

Subject: Call for Beta Testers: Harlequin LispWorks with CORBA for Red Hat Linux on
Intel
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 16:25:36 +0100
Dear Linux Programmer(s),
Harlequin is happy to announce the availability of the beta release
of the LispWorks development environment for Red Hat Linux on Intel
hardware. This complete Common Lisp system has the same rich feature
set as LispWorks on the Windows and UNIX platforms. It includes native
compilation, extensive debugging tools, a Foreign Language Interface,
and libraries for CORBA, GUI, database, and rule-based programming.
All LispWorks source code is fully portable to our Windows and UNIX
implementations.
The LispWorks for Linux Personal Edition is available for immediate
download
from the Harlequin Web site at <http://www.harlequin.com/devtools/lisp>.
We are also recruiting testers for the Professional and Enterprise
Editions,
which include some of the more advanced features and libraries. Testing
of the Professional and Enterprise Editions requires the exchange of
paperwork.
If you would like to test one of these Editions, please respond with
your
fax number, and I will begin the process.
We're very excited about this new release of LispWorks, one which
extends
the reach of Common Lisp code to the world's most exciting software
platform.
We hope you'll join us is this adventure.
A full press release describing LispWorks for Linux follows.
Sincerely,
Christine Van Roosen

HARLEQUIN ANNOUNCES BETA RELEASE OF LISPWORKS FOR RED HAT LINUX ON INTEL
HARDWARE
Portable implementation of Common Lisp with support for CORBA enables
enterprise development on the Linux platform
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (May 3, 1999) - Harlequin today announced the beta
release
of LispWorks(R) with CORBA(R) for the Linux(tm) operating system. This
powerful Common Lisp development environment is already available for
UNIX, Windows(tm) 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT(R) 4.0. By extending
support to Linux, Harlequin gives Linux developers the power of a
complete
native Common Lisp development system, with source code that is fully
portable across a variety of platforms.
"Today's most creative software development is done on Linux," said John
Hotchkiss, vice president of the Harlequin Software Tools Division.
"That makes it a perfect match for Common Lisp, which has a long history
of being used for solving problems that have never been tackled before.
By including CORBA support, by keeping our product affordable, and by
maintaining source code compatibility with our Windows and UNIX
products,
LispWorks opens up a whole new set of options to Linux developers."
A Complete Solution in One Package
LispWorks offers a complete enterprise development solution, built on
Common Lisp and the CORBA distributed object standard.
The LispWorks integrated development environment includes an incremental
optimizing compiler, advanced adaptive garbage collection, object
browsers
and inspectors, and extensive debugging features.
Harlequin's CORBA implementation includes a complete IIOP(tm)-compatible
ORB(tm), IDL compiler, and Portable Object Adapter. Other features
supported
include the Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII), Dynamic Skeleton
Interface
(DSI), and a Common Lisp language binding.
Additional LispWorks libraries and extensions include the portable
Common
Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM), database access through
DataWorks/SQL(tm),
rule-based programming with the KnowledgeWorks(tm) expert system tool,
Common Prolog, and a complete Foreign Language Interface.
An Edition for Every Need
LispWorks for Linux gives developers a choice of three Editions to meet
a variety of programming needs:
� LISPWORKS FOR LINUX ENTERPRISE EDITION includes CLIM 2.0,
DataWorks/SQL,
KnowledgeWorks and Harlequin Common Lisp ORB. It is ideal for the full
range of commercial and enterprise software development.
� LISPWORKS FOR LINUX PROFESSIONAL EDITION includes CLIM 2.0 and is
suitable
