No, I didn't jump on the Redhat Sux bandwagon lately. I've been
bitching about Redhat for a couple years at least. (since RH 4.0)

Yes, SuSE is very nice. Everything works even without having to read the
menu.
(Do you think any of the distro menus really tell you anything other
than the initial installation start up?)
Most of the menus are junk.

I have installed SuSE, OpenLinux and FreeBSD on 5 boxes, from old P-133
to brand new
dual cpu, full U2WSCSI boxes. all without having to read the menu, and
without a single hiccup.
No so with Redhat. Redhat killed one of my 17" monitor during auto
probing. Redhat chocked on ALL 5 boxes that I have since 4.0.(The same 5
boxes that I have SuSE, OpenLinux and FreeBSD installed properly.)
Now, Don't tell me there's nothing wrong with Redhat. And I have very
good reason to blast RH. And there're many reviews out there to support
my opinion.

On the win box go to control planel, network,
TCP/IP properties, set gateway to the IP # of the
linux box. If you have the linux box files
correct this sholud be all you need.
Also there is a program call "Sqiud" I know it
comes with Mandrake 6.0 CD". This is a proxy &
cache program. After it's install, go to
/etc/squid/squid.conf and commet out the 2 lines
under "user rules" Is set to auto start at boot.
Set the proxy on your browser to the linux box IP
adress and the port to 3128.

Slackware, because once you get it set up and configured, you will no
longer be a beginner.
Seriously though, if your main objective is to learn about Linux, don't
choose a distribution because it makes it easy for you to do things without
understanding them. The distribution you start with isn't the distribution
you have to stick with for all time.
If your goal is to learn rather than to instantly get a Linux system up and
running, do it the hard way; it's more educational.
FWIW, my first attempt at installing Linux was with Slackware (and from
floppy disks at that) and while I didn't get it right the first, second, or
third time, it was certainly a valuable experience. I later tried Redhat
and then finally tried Debian, which I was immediately impressed by and
which I've used ever since.

Subject: undefined reference at link time !
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 22:13:26 +0200
Hello world !
here is my probleme : I want to compile the xtraceroute program. I need
gtk, gtkglarea.
I configure, compile and install gtk : OK !
I configure, compile and install gtkglarea : OK !
now I configure and compile xtraceroute and, at link time I get
undefined references.
Here is what happens :
gtk declares and defines 2 functions. The code is included in the
archive libgtk.a.
gtkglarea wrappes the 2 above mentionned functions, and we get an
archive file libgtkgl.a.
When linking xtraceroute object files with above archives, the linker
complains that, in libgtkgl.a, it can not resolve the 2 functions.
Is it that the linker can not resolve references between chained archive
files ?
More probably, as I got all above programs as .tgz from the net, I
suppose they compile correctly but there is something wrong on my system
(redhat 5.2 with gcc 2.8.1).
If somebody can help ....

You've had some already, I see. Most of it argues against your POV that

to take a slightly different view.

The majority of ISPs expect the majority of their customers/users to be
connecting a machine running Windows95/98. It suits their purposes to
optimise their service/support based on this expectation.

It used to be a safe-ish assumption that users of other operating
systems had sufficient technical knowledge to set things up without
assistance. For the amusement I have opened a number of accounts with
free ISPs and not once have I needed to contact technical support. Note
that this includes *opening* the account via Netscape under Linux, thus
proving that one doesn't need to be running IE5...

Freeserve has (had) intermittent problems which might lead the
inexperienced Linux user to waste lots of time trying different things.
When it works it isn't too bad. You get what you pay for, at least.

When there is a *commercial* benefit I'm sure they will do so. One or
two have "official" support pages showing the necessary details for
Linux (and also useful for Mac owners, etc). In other cases you've got
to be prepared to do your own research. The business model for the free
ISPs is quite interesting - they almost certainly don't have the margins
to employ people with detailed Unix/Linux knowledge to sit and take
support calls.

For reasons which others have already mentioned this is actually not a
very good idea, nor is it practical...there are several "flavours" of
Linux and an infinte number of ways to configure things, so it will be
almost impossible to come up with a 'one size fits all' approach. In
practice one sees lots of complaints along the lines "the [insert name
of ISP] disk trashed my Internet Explorer settings and I ended up having
to reinstall everything..." so it's not entirely plain sailing in the
'doze world.
>If there were some SUPPORTED way of connecting, then it would make it

I've heard very good reports of wvdial, which apparently has a certain
amount of intelligence. I've also seen dozens of reports of problems
with kppp so a lot seems to depend on your choice of tools for the job.
Also note that the latest versions of pppd allow determination of DNS
settings automatically, so that's less of an issue. The finest way to
configure a PPP link, however, is to read the documentation and do it
the "hard" way: at least that will give you some useful knowledge about
protocols etc and you'll know when the ISP's equipment is at fault
rather than your own.
I have a pet project here to take one of those .ins files and construct
the necessary settings for a basic connection, but someone else will
probably have done the job by the time I get round to doing any
substantial work in that direction. In any case I'm not intending to do
anything other than get it to start a PPP link, mail, news and that sort
of thing will have to be left to the user's preferences.

Subject: Critical Decision
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 22:01:54 +0100
I've just set up a startup which has recently attracted significant funding.
We are building a high performance OLTP web based application using Oracle
8i.
Having been developed on Linux, I am a keen advocate. However, I know Linux
has not proven it self as an enterprise, high throughput database server. I
am therefore losing sleep trying to decide between Solaris or Linux.
I'm generally a risk taker, so I'd quite like to bet on a clustered linux
solution with load balancing running Oracle 8i. However, I've also got to
run the company and want to minimize the technology risk (there are enough
risks as it is!)
I would be interested in what people think about the Linux vs Solaris on
database servers.

In your $HOME directory make the file .xinitrc and put the window managers
you want in it. Such as:
xsetroot -solid black
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#blackbox
#fvwm
#twm
#enlightenment
#blackbox
#startkde
wmaker
just un-comment the one you want to run like I did windowmaker.
to change the foreground and background in xterms start it with the
following:
xterm -bg black -fg cyan
Read the xterm man page. The options can also be put into the .Xdefaults
file. Read the man pages for X, startx, xterm and so on for more info.

I just want to be sure I'm not misreading the messages (from here and

for FP because of the well-known security problems. I just want to be

present in the Office 2000 version. Are there *different* server extensions
for 2000? That are more secure?
I have no expectation that the security issues *are* any better. I just
want to be sure before again telling our users we cannot install the
extensions. (And I'll be very pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong. I
much prefer giving our users what they want.)

I have SuSE 6.1 installed on my PC. Modem setup is fine. Connections

successfully after the connection is established with the server, and
I am able to telnet/ftp to Unix boxes on the "other side"

However, when I start up Netscape, it doesn't recognize the open
connection. What could be going wrong? I've tried looking
everywhere, but I can't see a single place in Netscape where I
can set anything up with respect to this? If my local xterms
are able to recognize the existence of the connection, why isn't
my local Netscape able to do the same thing?
Is it something in my network configuration files, perchance?
Another question: is it possible to pop up X terms/windows on my
Linux box (this side of the firewall, with its server assigned IP
address and all) from the Unix boxes on the "other side"? How?
(How will the Unix machine resolve the addess of my Linux box)?
I tried export DISPLAY=<myLinuxBoxName>:0.0 but the Unix box
spat in my face! :-(

Subject: nohup not working
Date: 28 Jun 1999 22:06:30 GMT
I find that nohup is not working.
I made the following program
// silly.cc
int main() { while (true) ; }
And compiled it with
g++ --pedantic silly.cc -o silly
Then I run the program with this
nohup silly
/usr/bin/nohup silly &
In tcsh, nohup is a builtin shell command. So the first version uses
the builtin nohup whereas the second version uses the nohup in
/usr/bin/. In bash, nohup is not a builtin. So both versions use the
nohup in /usr/bin/.
Now here is the relevant result of "ps f".
21917 qd S 0:00 -sh
21933 qd R N 0:03 \_ silly
We see that process/program "silly" is running under sh, just as if we
had typed "silly &". In other words, process "silly" is a child process
of "sh". But this is precisely what I don't want because when I log out
of the window with "exit", process 21917 and its child process 21933 are
killed. So "silly" is killed.
My questions.
1. How can I keep a program running after I log out (I thought nohup
does the job)?
2. Is there something wrong with GNU nohup (both the versions in tcsh
and /usr/bin/tcsh)?
Thanks.

When I click on any of the linuxconf menu items, nothing happens....I am
unable to add users, configure certain params, etc. via the GUI
interface. Does anyone have any idea why this is behaving this way?
I'm running RH 5.2 and have the following installed:
gnome-linuxconf-0.14-4rh
linuxconf-1.12r5-6rh
linuxconf-devel-1.12r5-6rh
