There is no best distribution, contrary to the much fighting on which is
actually best. There is a case to be made for every distribution of Linux
on the planet. The only way to find out, is to try each of them
personally and make the decision yourself. If you are concerned about the
price, buy the GPL versions of each (something like $1.99 american a cd)
from a place like cheapbytes or similar, and try them both out. If you
prefer one over the other, and want the extra goodies that come with the
full version, by all means, buy the commercial deal for big $$$$.

Haven't heard this before, but I will take a guess.
Perhaps the "people who have accounts on the print server" are
also printing from hosts who's names are in /etc/hosts.lpd and/or
/etc/hosts.equiv on the server? And those who can't print are from hosts
who don't?
The 'rs' flag definitely defaults off. You would use :rs: alone
to turn it on; rs=false is not valid. (Undocumented, but you
can also use :rs@: to force a flag off, but it isn't needed.)

Subject: Internet/Proxy bandwidth control?
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 00:46:05 +0100
I share an ISDN link to the internet with my wife who uses it for online
gaming. This causes problems when I go browsing or downloading as my
activity 'hogs' the link and usually ends up with me being shouted at!
I have an NT Server running MS Proxy 2 serving a win95 workstation and a
RedHat Linux 6.0 workstation. Does anyone know how I can limit bandwidth use
so say we effectively have half each without ever hogging the whole
connection? Although the proxy server is currently a NT machine I'd be quite
happy to change to a Linux Server if I could solve this problem.
Thanks all for considering this query

Thanks for the help! I ask for it cause try to install java 1.2 and it ask for
glibc 2.0.7. Netscape 4.5 for glibc2 ask for it, and oracle 8 for linux need
only linux 2.0.34 and ask for the same glibc2 version also. Is glibc2 2.0.7
for linux 2.2.x only or...? and ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/glibc/ only has
up to 2.0.6. It is confusing.
Thanks again

the problem is in the filesystem, the filenames are still stored in 8.3
format, with extra information hidden away somewhere else... I agree that

Subject: mouse behaviour quake2/linux/banshee
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 00:10:58 GMT
Hi,
now that there is banshee support for linux, I am bit disappointed that
quake2 is less playable in linux than in windows95.
My hardware:
- Pentium 150, 32 MB RAM, Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee PCI
I use Daryll's X server as well as his drivers to play quake2 under X
(glx).
Kernel is 2.0.36.
Everything would be fine, if there were not the problem with the mouse
(ps2). In my case, it definitely has nothing to do with gpm, although I
normally use gpm for the console and as a repeater (gpm -R -t ps2) for
X, because I already tested running the game without gpm and using
protocol mousesystems and /dev/psaux for X.
There is no difference at all (whether I use gpm as a repeater or
whether I use the mouse just in X, with /dev/psaux...), but mouse
behaviour is good for normal X applications.
The problem is:
Mouse movement in quake2 (with ref.glx) is not smooth enough, especially
when turning around (moving in circles). I always notice slight jumps in
this movement, no steady turning; it causes headache and dizziness!
Trying all kinds of values for sensitivity, m_yaw, xset didn't help at
all.
There are always little jumps in circular mouse movement, and it seems
that (whatever I do with m_yaw or xset) turning my mouse abruptly causes
(uncontrolled and unwanted) acceleration (although I tried with all
kinds of positive, negative or no acceleration, with xset m 0, xset m
2/1 10, xset m 1/10 10, xset m 1/100 10, xset m 1/1000 40 and so on and
so on).
In windows95 I do not observe this behaviour: The mouse moves steadily,
and even in abrupt turns, there is no stuttering or jerky behaviour, so
that I can always follow its movement with my eyes without losing
orientation for a moment and without feeling dizzy.
I am already glad that I could solve the damned problem with timeouts
while accessing the cdrom, and I wrote a nice customized script for
playing quake2 under linux, but without a solution to the "mouse issue"
I really prefer windows95 for quake2 (and glquake, of course, since
there is no banshee/glibc support).
Who knows the problem? Who found a good solution?
I hope, I get many helpful answers.
Thanks for your time to read this and perhaps answer me. Thanks to
Daryll, nevertheless.

I feel duty bound to point out the use of loadlin, loading linux from dos.
Linux is most definitely a complete OS. The difference is, however, that once
loaded, windows actually makes use of the DOS it was loaded from.

chown and chgroup are your *present* friends in this regard; understand
them, and you will be able to resolve most of your needs.
There is no ACL system at this time, although there are a number of

there is an option in lilo.conf to add command line parameters for the
kernel images, IIRC you can even set it globally so that it applies to
all kernel images rather than individually...
can't remember exactly what it's called ATM, probably parameters= "hdb=noprobe"
or something equally simple...

I have a Diamond Supra Express 56i internal in my Linux box and it

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem but with printing from VMS. As later I
got to know it is a bug and all you have to do is to download an updated

No, but it *will* be supported in the next version of XFree86 (3.3.3.4 I
think :), due for release sometime in June. Check Xfree86 release plans at
their website

The 7200i does, don't see why 8100 wouldn't

That is one...probably win32 software so *maybe* in whine, and 2...uses
udp or whatever (packet writing) for which sinux has no support so no.

Mine works great....having some problems playing CDs in it from 2.0.36
but when I had 2.2.3 it wasn't a problem. ide-scsi might be better in
newer kernels.

lit a large fire in his back yard, and sent the following via smoke
signals:
: I just want to find what operating system a remote website in internet
: is running.
: How do i do that in linux??
While your intentions may be benign, this question is very suspicious.
If not, please repost with an explanation, and I think you'll find people
will be much more willing to help you.
: For example if i want to find what OS and OS version a remote web site
: http://www.lsl.com is running. What command do i use on linux.
:
: I can do ping www.lsl.com and it gives the IP address.
If they want you to know, they will tell you.
Or, you could look on the website.
Or, try good ol' email:
% cat | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s 'OS & Version?'
Dear Sirs,
I've been very curious about what OS your web server (reachable at the
address: www.lsl.com (209.69.148.251)) happens to be running. I've often
admired your beautiful (and fast) site, and I'd like to duplicate your
setup exactly.
I am eagerly awaiting your reply.
Sincerely,
Al Dev
P.S. You better not be running RedHat Linux. I HATE RedHat Linux.
