E would take up too much resources for it. The rest of the system would
starve. Pluss E has nothing special over the rest, the cursor can be
changed with xset I think. The big buttons would be good, but E runs
reallyp slow on my box, which it shouldn't.

Hmm, my 4 year old neice (just turned 4 too) can work the pointer pretty
good. If the mouse had just 1 button, using gimp would be ok. My

After the modem is connected, go to a terminal and do an ifconfig to see if
the address on ppp0 is correct. I found that the ip address for eth0 was
being assigned to ppp0 also. I got around this by making my name not
resolve. (remove my name from the hosts file) I am still looking for a
better solution but it worked.

The Mandrake 6.0 disk from Cheapbytes crashes during install right
after you choose the partitions. This is the first time I've had
that problem with cheapbytes CDs and haven't got an answer yet on
this one.
I was installing the French version on the 3rd hard disk (8.4G)
and it is below the 1024 cylinder. I since installed SuSE in the
same place with no problem. I also have RedHat 6.0 from Cheapbytes
which installed flawlessly.
I would love to know how to convert my SuSE to French. It is setup
for French but my messages are in English. Under RedHat, I get a
lot in French.
I got SuSE for $30 at CompUSA, quite a good deal. 5CDs, a good
book and it includes OSS Sound.

Actually I was not very impressed with Slackware. It was a pain
in the ass to setup. The printer didn't work, no working redialer
for the net. None of my glic2 stuff works despite the fact that
it is advertized as supporting glibc2.
I use to think the world of Slackware but no more.
For a Newbie this is a good way to turn him completely off Linux.
I was converted to SuSE on the weekend. I was quite surprised.
It is very long to install, a lot of stuff but is worth the time
spent to setup. Watch out for the silly questions suggesting to
make the partition active which would make it completely impossible
to work. It asked me if I want to to boot of the extended partition
and than asked if I wanted to make my logical partition active.
Why such moronic questions were ask is hard to understand since
the one who knows little is likely to screw up his system.
You tell it to install lilo on the root of the SuSE partition
and make sure you put that partition on the boot manager menu.
I boot both RedHat and SuSE off the third hard disk and it works
well. SuSE works so well I'm thinking about flushing RedHat
completely. That'll give me a full 6G for SuSE.

Call your local cable company (the guys who own the wire in
your neighborhood) and see if they offer it.
If they do... Order the service - it's worth it. Cable
companies differ on their configuration. Mine (TCI) would
have put a NIC in my machine (was WinNT, now Linux), run the
patch cable to the cable-modem and installed the coax for
the cable. I already had a NIC in the machine so they did
everything else (cable-wise).
For Linux you just tell it what the IP address is (they'll
assign on installation) the default gateway (ditto), DNSs
(ditto), mail, news, proxy servers (ditto, ditto, ditto).
Good luck.

You're missing the point here.
You live in the United States, and are one of the "evil-minded hillbillies"
from that nation, and are thereby deserving of whatever insults he may
choose to pour in your direction. (I'd hazard the guess that what's
"pouring" is liquid, and probably doesn't smell too good...)

where the citizenry are permitted to carry concealed firearms...]

While admitting that a lot of the `fear of the unknown' above
is true of commercial IT departments, let's not get too biased
here.
Because Linux is a new OS to your organisation, you can
use the opportunity to `do it right this time'.
Linux machines are an attractive target for hackers because
they are networking capable (unlike Windows) and the distribution
defaults haven't kept track with the decreasing clue of sysadms
as their products become more mainstream. We see a rush every
student holidays as our networks are scanned for slackly
administered Linux machines which then use our 155Mbps Internet
bandwidth to establish very impressive MP3 or pron serevers.
The simplest way to make the IT staff happy is to standardise
on one Linux distribution and develop a post-install patchkit
that move the defaults from slack to tight.
A good example is the RedHat defaults for hosts.allow and hosts.deny.
An enterprise patchkit would set these to:
hosts.allow
in.telnetd, in.ftpd: .example.com
hosts.deny
ALL:ALL
and you are now many times more secure than WinNT.
A patchkit also lets you set networking parameters consitently
across the organisation.
Finally, ask for an e-mail address at patchkit download time.
Add the e-mail to a linux-alert mailing list and e-mail
errata notices to the list. Since the OS is free, you can
locally cache the errata. So your Linux user base will
adopt security patches within a day or two, again well
ahead of the usual propogation time for WinNT hotfixes.
Similarly, you can focus local Linux support about the patchkit
download page. For example, by offering a CD loan service,
having a "running Linux at example.com" FAQ, gatewaying the
major Linux mailing lists, linking to the major support sites,
etc.
As I see it, IDG says Linux already has 17% of the desktop.
That's more than the Mac. An IT dept has the following
choices:
- standardise on an OS, which may not be Linux, and
crush the rest. This is a reasonable strategy for
some organisations, bank branch networks being a
prime example: it doesn't matter what OS you use,
as long as you only have one, as your support costs
dwarf all other costs. But it can kill other
organisations, especially those with highly
intellectual-intensive activities. In those
organsiations running the wrong OS means running
less-productive application programs. A graphics
design shop that doesn't use Macs is insane, even
within an organsiation that uses another OS. Similarly,
engineers run commercial UNIX, because thats where the
tools of the trade are.
- only support one OS, discourage use of others. Probably
the worst strategy. Support for alternative OSs will
simply go underground, creating a huge tangle that the
IT dept will have to sort out should they every need to
run the OS in the organisation.
- support one major OS. Make other OS's
self-supporting by creating local user groups to
set IT policy for those OSs and to provide
informal support. This makes the OS more expensive
than running the major OS, but if the productivity
benefits are there, then the users are more than
happy to underwrite a surprising amount of
self-support.
Two warnings. Firstly, get out and sell your strategic
direction. For example, people running Macs shouldn't
be forcing the network to run AppleTalk at a time when
the whole world is becoming IP-centric. Similarly,
Linux machines shouldn't be authenticating against
a local password file, as multiple user names, userids,
and UIDs can take years to unwind.
Secondly, you have to select which user complaints are
founded and which are not. For example, central mail
services *should* be accessable using IMAP and should
authenticate against the same LDAP database that is used
to generate the NIS+ maps used to authenticate Linux
access. But `why can't I run SAP from my Linux box'
is an unfounded complaint. If Linux becomes popular,
then you will be able to. If not, then the law of
the jungle applies and the user has made a poor choice
of OS. The user, not the organsiation, should bear
the brunt of this cost.

Right on.
I have done a bit of looking into this (Security-HOWTO) and it seems quite
difficult and time-consuming. It would be nice if there were a canned
set-up. Or barring that, some simple set of instructions on how to be
secure.
I have been thinking of setting up Apache on a machine; main thing
stopping me is not knowing what to do to "securify" machine prior to
setting it up web server.

I use SuSE and put this in /etc/profile.local
under RedHat it would be
in /etc/profile
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/RealPlayerG2"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Mine works good.
