Unstable against stable? Surely you jest. If you want a stable system,
you install slink; if you want a relatively up-to-the-minute system, you
install potato and accept the inherent risk. That said, potato has been
very good to me (unstable not meaning *unstable*), but I wouldn't install
it on a mission-critical box just because of the risk.
If you recall, I think that RedHat put out unstable or pre-release
versions of their distros, too. Of course, that was a few years ago.

Not at all. I wouldn't expect my users to read a technical manual to get
information on how to use a piece of software. Equally I wouldn't expect
my technical staff to wade through lots of examples in order to get the
syntax for what they need to do. The two sets of documentation are there
for different purposes.
Equally in *nix you get man pages and HOWTO documentation. If I want to
know HOWTO do something, then I will start with the HOWTO not with the
man pages.
To take the illustration further, would you *really* want to have to
wade through the wiring manual for your new car just to find out where
to turn on the interior light ? Or do you expect the electrician who is
working on your car to wade through the instructions of how to tune in
your radio before he installs that electric sunroof ?

If you don't have a patched version of tar yet, and you
use the bash shell, then you could put this fn in your
.bashrc.

Hi!
Is it possible to use netbios-calls within Dosemu using the netcard's dos

If it IS possible, how do I do it and what are the caveats?

True--although at 8 points on 300 DPI, hinting does improve the
quality. Compare the output of Ghostscript and small point sizes
with a commercial Type 1 renderer.

It's not. Hinting is essential for high-quality antialiasing.
Among other things, hinting prevents stems from being gray
(TrueType tries to always make stems a solid color), while
ensuring the curves are appropriately shaded.

Read
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/hinting/hinting.htm
It's quite good.
http://www.freetype.org/ also has some quality links.

I've thought of this, and it's true. The resultant font would be
rather biggish (perhaps 500KB instead of 50KB for a Latin 1 font), but
that's not so much of a problem. The bigger problem is incorporating
accurate antialiasing data (which would greatly swell the size of the
font' file image). In addition, rendering at a small sizes to
devices with a non-unity aspect ratio (e.g. a 9-pin dot-matrix
printer, such as my beloved Proprinter II or my Epson MX-80
w/GRAFTRAX-80) would be fubar.
The FreeType project has talked about talking about writing some
good font development tools. I don't know very much about developing
fonts, but once the tools are there, I hope to learn. (I'm seeing
visions of Centurion Schoolbook, Basqueville, Times Romany, and
Paladdium even now...)

Must be an elite committee of high brows who sit around and think, what

Then you get combos like tar, where X means extract, and on the next key
over is C for create. Its not too many times before you never forget
where that dang X key is, fer sure. Then for incomprehensable reasons,
this key combo gets perpetuated into the future, eg. with Sun's tool for

Yes, you'll need to configure your server to be a DHCP client of your ISP,
for the IP address of the NIC attached to the cable modem.

I'm not sure I understand your concern. The 2nd NIC will cable to the cable
modem, either through your hub (maybe not a good idea), or directly by UTP
('null' 10BaseT cable). If you go through your hub, remember that the cable
modem bridges your LAN to a larger LAN consisting of all your neighbours that
are also on cable modems. Ethernet packets originating in your lan might not
be filtered out of the connection, even if you install an IP firewall.
Also, IIRC, the DHCP client expects to talk to eth0, so your 1st NIC
(your LAN) will probably become eth1 (it can remain connected to the hub).
>2. IP Masquerading?
Good Idea. It's not difficult to set up (check out ipchains for Linux 2.2
or ipfwadm for Linux 2.0), and will allow all your LAN workstations access
to the internet without the cost of leasing additional IP addresses from
your ISP.

Definitely install a firewall. Remember that when you are connected to the
internet, the internet is connected to you. Even with a simple PPP connection,
*my* firewall has intercepted both IP spoofing attempts (directed at my PPP
IP address), and attempts to log on to my (private) FTP server. Unless you are
prepared to reinstall everything on a compromised system (server *and* perhaps
even your workstations), a firewall is a necessity for a cable-modem or ADSL
connection.

They are already rediculously high. Thus, most people with lots of
money have found ways to avoid taxes. Very rich salaried workers
($100 000 +) can't really avoid it and thus have to pay obscene
amounts of taxes. For someone salarying $1 000 000 /year, they
are probably paying 60% or 70% of that in taxes.
Of course, you're already assuming that government distribution of
money will improve the quality of living. A quick stroll their
the southeastern part of Canton (which is near where I live) shows
this not to be the case; the quality of living simply insists on
being low for some people.

Subject: NT the best web platform?
Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 14:42:10 GMT
Did any of your guys look at the webbechmark posted by PC
magazine?Below is the URL
http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/stories/reviews/0,6755,2256617,00.html
In this, it stated that NT4 and IIS is the best web platform today,
with "Leading performance, excellent programmability and wideest variety
of third party addons". Contraray to common belive, it says IIS
outperformances other webserver(apache, netscape enterprise server) when
load increased!!
At the end of this article, it goes on to explain that, IIS's leading
performance(can you believe it???) is due to effective use of threading
and efficient handling of file and network i/o. The interesting point is
the asynchronous I/O, "Asynchronous I/O lets a threaded web server
process requests at the same time it performas file or network i/o".
Then it named Apache for lacking of such feature.
I am very suspicious of such statement. In its words, it seems that
asynchronous I/O can only be realized in a multi-threaded server,
however, in my opinion, a slave i/o process can easily accomplish this
(correct me if I am wrong). And as the introduction of copy-on-write,
a process fork is almost as light as a thread creation. Then how come
the crappy IIS outperforms my beloved Apache? Is it true to some extent
or is it just another FUD???

I use 'tar' in Slackware distribution, and it has '-y' option for .bz2

Hi Ted..
Basically all I did was follow the 'manual installation instructions' in
the README..
Note that after the specified /etc/conf.modules changes you can "insmod
sblive" but
also note that insmod must be forced..use "insmod -f sblive"..it'll
bitch a bit about
kernel incompatibility but should still work. (I've got a four speaker
+subwoofer setup
but only the 2 front speakers seem to work..)
