The secret is that you need to have supported hardware and good
drivers.
A new Intel or 3Com NIC will install in about as much time as it takes
to pick the card off the driver list, and will not crash.
However, if you want to run Linux, feel free. Do whatever floats your
boat.

AFAIK the are no problems with SuSE 6.1 and 2.2.9.
If your network works with 2.2.5 but not with
2.2.9 then you have misconfigured your kernel
or broken the kernel source tree. The latter
can happen if you install the kernel sources
in /usr/src/ without having removed the symlink
/usr/src/linux first.

Yup. Exactly.
You've never had anybody put a program named "sl" into /tmp? It can
be amusing, but sometimes it takes a while for somebody to trip over
it.

I understand there're many releases of X. Some are better, but RH did
put the more buggy version in its distro though, and the other distros
put the better version in; that's why I was able to install the other
distros without problem.
Bad planning on RH part.
Let's stop this. Okay. Don't want to turn this into a Linux civil war.

Subject: IP Alias Timeout???
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 13:56:20 -0700
Hello,
I just installed Redhat 6.0/WinNT dualboot and I have a question about
my NIC configuration: the IP aliasing seems to timeout after a
while under RedHat. I'm using a Linksys Etherfast (with the tulip
driver) and the aliases work fine under NT. However, after about 40
minutes, none of the aliases are pingable under redhat. the primary
interface stays functional throughout but the aliases all seem to
timeout. A reboot or poweroff doesn't change this. The only thing
that seems to help is to remove all the aliases and the primary
interface and then reenter the primary and aliases. It then works
again for about 40 minutes, after which time the aliases time out
once again (but the primary interface continues to work). I've tried using
both ifconfig and the networking button of the control-panel to
configure this in vain. So I figured I'd put this up to the real Linux
gurus out
there :) Please help!!!
Thanks in advance,
Rick.

I think NT is wearing shorts. It must get awful hot in that case with

Not some Winmodems, *all* winmodems.
AFAIK, no winmodem works with Linux, because the manufactures do not supply

It is handy to see how things stack up for comparative purposes, but the
idea just goes too far. I ask you to hark back to ye ancient times
when database benchmarking was the norm.
Eventually, most of the databases ended up equal on the benchmarks, but
sucked in the real world because the benchmarks were all that mattered.

The Indy 500 runs only once a year, and there is a philosophy behind
that (lets disregard the Nascar 400 and future F1 races there... ;).
Something that gets to be commonplace, gets disregarded and cheap.
BTW, Indy has a web page:

For sure, the IRL is a commercial venture. ;)

If RH failed to install on 5 different machines, with 5 different
hardware configurations - but the other distributions succeed. I'd
certainly suggest to RH to look into their process and debug the hell
out of it. It certainly shows RH has a inferior installation system
than the others.
I might do a step by step installation record with RH, SuSE and
FreeBSD with my new box (I don't have the box yet, just ordered it,
it's a dual cpu, U2WSCSI box) if I have the time, and put out the
result somewhere.
I'll download whatever is the latest from RH when my box comes.

It would be helpful to see test.c, but...
I would wager that you've got a string constant that's messing up
your compiler's string table somewhere. In particular, look for a
missing close quote or for a constant pointer to hyperspace.

Well you don't really know what to blame it on, because it
is the result of an .asp "query". Any reason why you should
use .asp on this sort of thing?
