Hi
VMware looks great, although I haven't gotten around to testing it on
a "real" computer yet, only a meagre P133 over a slow network, and
with neither floppy nor CD to boot an OS from.
I might use it to run a bunch of instances of Windows in order to test
programs, and one thing that worries me, is the memory consumption.
Booting more vmware inststances than I could fit into physical memory,
seemed like a really poor idea - the computer went from a brisk pace
to a crawl in no time.
Does anybody have any experience booting several instances of NT with,
say, 16Mb each, and leaving it to Linux to manage virtual memory for them?
(I.e. I'd expect any VMware/NT instance that needed a lot of memory
intensively to swap like mad, but Linux should quickly have the
necessary parts of the VM's disk image in cache anyway, and the
swapping should be a lot faster than going to disk.)
Any experimental data here? Suggestions to optimum memory allocation
for various Windows versions? Any benchmarks or estimates on how much
swapping to Linux' disk cache costs?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but doesn't "Mach 64" describe the 2d chipset and
"Rage Pro" describe the 3d chipset on the same card?
I've got a Rage Pro based card (XPert @Work), and it works with the
XFree86 Mach 64 driver without a hitch -- but no 3D acceleration is
available. It also works with the Mach 64 kernel framebuffer driver.

I have a generic SB 16 sound card. When I do a "play message.wav" it
sounds great and works fine, but when I do a "cat message.wav >
/dev/dsp" it plays at half the speed, and then when I do a "cat
message.wav > /dev/audio" it play at half the speed and is garbled.
Anyone know why. I am using sox-12.16 and it's the very latest
version. Is there another sound program that I need to upgrade to as
well?
I'm using RH 6.0 with the 2.2.11 kernel with the sound configured
manually, not as modules in the kernel. IRQ is 5, etc. CD-ROM plays
audio CDs just fine, but MP3s play at half the speed also.
Thanks.

Hi folks,
I have a Sound Blaster 16 sound card and it worked fine with
RehHat 5.1, however, I have recently upgraded to RH6.0 and
the midi interface has stopped working.
I used sndconfig to configure the card, although the first sound
clip came out ok (a guy talking), when it tried to test
a midi clip, it says something like " the test has failied due
to the following error:", but nothing was indicated, which
left me clueless about what happened.
There is one thing that is worth mentioning, I got a red [FAILED]
message saying "sound: Device is busy" when it tried to load
somekind of module during the boot up process.
Could some kind soul out there shed some light on this,
thanks a million

No, they're problems everywhere. Look at TB in prisoner or aboriginal
populations in Canada, for example. There is a significant and serious
rate of infection.
The difference is that in most other first world states, especially those
with socialized health systems, more or less emphasis is put on correcting
them as a matter of the public good rather than on a user-pay basis. (And
that isn't to blame on the US's public health efforts, either, which have
done good work; they're merely, if merely is the word, chronically
underfunded, relatively unsupported, and quite often politically suspect
for legislators).

First, make sure you have some working linux boot
diskettes. When you removed hdb, what was hdc became hdb
and lilo was not able to find your kernel anymore. That's
why it craps out when you try to reboot. So, boot from your
linux boot floppies and edit /etc/fstab to change references
to hdc to hdb instead, edit /etc/lilo.conf to tell lilo to
look for the kernel on hdb instead of hdc. Re-run lilo to
write the changes and reboot.

Oh, yeah, I agree. My problem is other peoples' work with MS Word,

Import/export is a sine qua non for my purposes. No one will be happy
if I corrupt their work during an import/modify/export cycle.
: In the end, it's always a bad idea to let yourself be locked
: in by some proprietary format (be it .doc, .aw, or .wp)
I couldn't agree more. The S/W review of Applixware mentioned that
all its native file formats are (printable) ascii, rather than
even more cryptic binary, which I consider an advantage. Of course,
you'd still need an independent parser/interpreter, but at least
the file is a little more portable.
: but it's a bit cumbersome to write every little thing using tex.
Here I disagree. Personally, I use LaTeX as much as possible,
whenever possible. It's more portable to more platforms than
anything else ... far, far more portable. And the commitment of
the TeX community is far more comforting than that of any
commercial vendor I've ever seen. Their "attitude" is also more
comforting, e.g., consider the outstanding backward compatibility
of LaTeX2e with the earlier LaTeX 2.09.

Yeah, I'd like to try it. But for me, the freeness isn't so much
related to the package's cost, but rather to the time spent climbing
its learning curve in order to evaluate it. Since I usually spend
a fair amount of time per session with MS Word, the overhead of
dual-booting between NT (for documentation, communication, etc)
and Linux (for program development) isn't usually prohibitive.
But it's sometimes a pain in the neck that I'd just as soon avoid
if avoiding it doesn't cause even more pain.

Well, there you have it folks, our friend from Carleton U, believes
that success itself is wrong. No wonder he is so full of shit. BTW,
Communists ALWAYS have to resort to power to maintain their position,
since in a free society, any system that rewards everyone equally
(that is, poorly), regardless of their contribution would eventually
collapse when the high performers finally get sick of being sucked
dry.
Communism, and to a lesser extent, Socialism, thrive on the lowest
common denominator. Not only is excellence discouraged, but
individuals are ridiculed and harassed if they show any sign of
raising their head above the crowd.
And one of the primary examples of this...
Demonize success!
If you don't believe this, try and increase your output in any
strongly unionized company. I guarantee you you will be visited
quietly by the shop steward and "shown the light". And yes, this has
happened to me, so I know whereof I speak.
An award-winning business analyst, economist and Baptist preacher here
in NA said a few years ago that the only place left in the world where
Communism is taken absolutely seriously is on the University campuses
of North America. Ain't it the truth!

:
The obvious answers are ftp, rcp, scp, etc etc. If you are asking this
question because you don't know about them, then the other responses have
already answered you.
If you are really asking: "can I transfer files over my Telnet connection?"
the answer is "yes, if you use a Telnet client that includes file transfer
capability", such as Kermit:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/
which is available for Windows, Linux, UNIX in general, DOS, and many other
platforms.
