True. I was just trying to put it simply, for people who think that X
provides multitasking, swap space, etc... It isn't, for example, a

So BSD has man pages for all its components, including the compiler (gcc) and
debugger (gdb)? I'd like to get a copy of those to install on my Linux boxes,
because I too am annoyed by texinfo.

I cant speak for Suse 6.1. Ive installed 6.0... IMHO the choice would
either bet Calderra 2.2 or RedHat 6.0
RedHat 6.0 was the first time I *ever* installed Linux that had both
defenitions for my Monitor and my Video card.
Most other installations would die on setting up X.

Im certainly no expert here but if you don't have a registered domain
(registered outside your box) then people in the outside world can't
send mail to your hostname. you need to register whatever domain name
you wish so that it can be resolved to your IP address.
Try having someone send you mail to user@youripaddress. If it works then
its just a matter of name resolution.

But what if you want kmod to do the work for you. Then what do you put in
conf.modules? I tried setting scsi_hostadapter (and some other things I made
up as I went along) but none of them worked. Just curious. A modprobe in
rc.local works for now but I just hate to see "all that" memory wasted when

Faster? Speed is only one aspect of a webserver, and whether you like
it or not, it is rarely the most important one.
correctness - apache is better
flexibility - apache and supporting tools better
features - apache blows IIS away here
speed - IIS is better only on 4 way SMP intel machines
stability - toss up, probably
security - apache better (still waiting for that fix from last weeks
exploit?)

There was a PC Week benchmark done in Feb 99 that showed linux beating
the pants off NT in single CPU machines.
It's costs a lot of money and the benchmarks do not reflect real life
situations.

That assumes you have a serial mouse. psaux mouse has it's own port.
Furthermore, I think you just re-symlink mouse to whatever device

RedHat 6.0

mod_auth_mysql-2.20

this completes successfully, and i get my libauth_mysql.so file.
- i copy the file to /etc/httpd/modules, and edit the httpd.conf
file to add the following:
LoadModule auth_mysql_module modules/libauth_mysql.so
AddModule mod_auth_mysql.c

- i failed to find the symbol in any of the include files or
linked libraries. i searched all of the include dir, and ran
'nm' on any and all libs, and the only lib that contains the
symbol is libgtop_sysdeps.so.1
ok, i am not an expert in compiling/shared lib support. why
would that symbol even be included in the object file
(mod_mysql_auth.o)?
if it should be there, how do i tell the module to use the
gtop shared lib at runtime?

Well I still run RH 5.2 and I have exactly this problem. It doesn't
always crash, but 9 times out of 10. It is most annoying.
It seems to be most unreliable if I open another page while the applet
is still loading or initializing, but if the applet is running, I
can usually move to another site. If I open a second applet page,
swap memory gets consumed at an alarming rate, spiralling my machine
towards lockup unless I can get into a telnet su session and stop it.

I don't see that at all.. Que generally assumes a far greater computer
knowledge of computer hardware than the Dummies books. I started with
no experience whatsoever, and with the help of the people on this group

While it's very easy to bash NT and come up with amazing statistics
supporting either operating system, I should mention that NT is very
stable if you do a proper install on certified hardware and don't load
it up with a bunch of crap.
If you take NT certified hardware, install NT, the web server of your
choice and a recent service pack, then log off and walk away from the
console, it will run quite nicely for a very long time.
The biggest reason NT has less uptime is mostly because people can't
resist installing all sorts of new software that may or may not leak
resources, and may or may not replace core OS components with versions
that are either incompatible or buggy.
Modifying the kernel under Linux requires a recompile. Modifying core
NT components requires nothing more than leaving a DLL where the OS
can find it.
This is a central flaw in the design of Windows, and one of it's
dirtiest secrets, that there are a virtually infinite number of
possible DLL combinations, depending on what's been installed, and
they're not all compatible. However, if you install a good set and
leave it alone, it's usually OK.
FWIW, the most reliable servers I've ever seen were Netware 3.x and 4,
where they were simply installed, stuck in a closet and ignored. Many
have been running for years with no reboots or failures.

Well, Linux is Linux. The main difference between the various distributions is
the installation method and where they put certain files. But once installed
they're all pretty much the same.

I wouldn't know really. All? I've only installed Redhat and Slackware and they
are both very easy to install. Slackware let you control the installation
process a lot more than Redhat, though!

That's not quite true... All my kernels have been zImages. I've never
used a bzImage. I think you probably haven't been using modules.

It started with teTeX not running, then step-by-step tcl/tk, gimp, ...
gave up running. That was with three different systems.
I don't know why that is, but I do know that I don't want to know. *If*
I choose to upgrade a system, it should be smooth. If I'm forced to hack
around, I'd rather compile my own system starting with a basic Debian.

Although it has been said over and over again, it has still to be told:
A COPY ONTO ANOTHER HD IS *NO* BACKUP. It is mirroring with time delay,
and it is trashing the good files before getting to know they are.
Use your second HD for RAID experiments and invest in a good tape device
with cheap media, so you can make incremental backups which date back
some time (i.e. at least one week, further is not too far).

Kernel patches exist for 2.2.x, I guess. With these you should have have
full read access to UDF formatted media via mount -t udf (or whatever
the type may be), like with all the other fs's.

make bzImage
2.2.x kernels are too big for zImage.
