You may want to look at Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org/). It
attracts mostly experienced Linux users, many of which describe switching to
it as a "graduation".

Currently, GNOME is available for Debian. The Debian project does not ship
KDE due to licensing issues, but KDE binaries in Debian package format are
available from a third party.

Subject: Why do boot disks created via "cp /vmlinuz /dev/fd0" boot faster?
Date: 2 Sep 1999 14:42:52 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I recently installed Debian Linux on a machine - install went fine.  One of
the last steps of the install is that it suggests you make a boot disk.  I
did this, and I use this boot disk to boot the system.  The only problem is
that it boots very slowly.  This is a "LILO style" boot disk, which seems to
be the standard for current installation programs to produce.

However, being old-fashioned, I usually make my boot disks via:

        cp /vmlinuz /dev/fd0
        rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda?

And they boot *much* faster (I'm not talking about the pause at the LILO
prompt in the previous case - I'm talking about the time once the "dots"
start coming out)

Anyone know why?  Any reason not to do it this way?

No difficulty whatsoever.  I do have a 3-button mouse, though.  It's
conceivable that WP doesn't work correctly with the two-button chording
hack, though I'd've expected that wouldn't make any difference at the
application level.

When you drag to select text in a non-WP window, note that the selection
will NOT be in WP's clipboard, so Ctrl+V won't work to paste the material;
it MUST be done with the middle mouse button.

Another possible cause of your problem is your window manager; it might be
somehow interfering with the paste operation.  FWIW, I use icewm.

I've used just about all of them and I wound up liking debian the
most after using it a lot (and initially not liking it at all). 
The install is quite a pain because it's interactive.  I will say
that everything is a little harder with Debian, even harder than
slackware. That said Debian is a bit behind the other distros in
WRT to packages; many are out of date, so you might have to
download/compile a few things.  I'm wondering myself why package
maintainers can't update package within a certain release ...
especially X.  Keeping X up to date is pretty critical to keeping
people using your distribution (yeah I'm aware of the problems
that caused slink to have a old version of xfree).  I also use
debian for ethical reasons.  I think debian will eventually
outstrip the others as it gains developers.

Debian with KDE 1.1.1 (there are debs available) is very very
nice.

RedHat 6 is terrible.  RedHat 5.2 is pretty darn good.  slackware
4.0 is really nice too.  SuSE I hear is pretty good.

The "Jeopardy" style of posting follow-ups that has become popular on
Usenet the last couple of years for some reason is really, really
bothersome.  Are you asking me whether I'm running update from
inittab, or someone else?

In any case, no.  bdflush is usually started from an rc script.  On my 
laptop, it only calls flush every 30 sec instead of the normal 5
sec. in order to save battery life.  It's not as dangerous as it
sounds since apmd seems to do a sync every chance it gets.   My other
machine is on an UPS.

It really pays to get an UPS though, even a cheap one that will only
give you a few minutes.

Because of the nature of linux, you shouldnt need an antivirus program, 
for the simple reason you would probably have to and configure and 
compile the virus before its executable - and by that time, you should be 
suspicous about the file. Thats the advantage of linux - its not 
vulnerable as such like windows.

However, it maybe vulnerable to hacking and/org trajon horse programs - 
programs that do something they arent meant to, while masquerading as a 
legitimate program. Your best way to keep these problems to a minimum is 
keep your eye on a security news website or something ;)

Hope This helps

Yes. Try "xedit http://www.microsoft.com" and then try the same with
kwrite.

Try shift+left cursor on vi, then try it on kwrite.

Try dragging a file from kfm into kwrite, then try it over emacs.

And so on.

Well, I have upgraded my lab from RH5.0 to RH6.0, and have had a few=20

all in all, it was a smooth transition. I setup user skels to use=20

So, RH6 is a very nice distro to load in a lab where users are=20

I have not had any of these machines flake out on me yet, and RH6=20

Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 20:26:47 GMT

Your Subject line says kppp connects... does this mean that the pppd
session is started, or just that the connection is made and lost before
the ppp negotiation even begins?  I suspect that this has nothing to do
with your scripts, beacuase your modem is actually dialing out.  If it
is an ISP dialog problem, simply try other options.

I had a very similar problem using kppp (root or non-root) and it turned
out that I had the correct device for my modem (/dev/ttyS2 in my case),
but an incorrect default IRQ for that device.  The symptoms were that I
could dial out, and my ISP answered, but the connection was dropped
before the negotiation could take place, hence pppd did not start.

The solution turned out to be this:

Determine however you can the correct COM port and IRQ for your modem (I
used Windows System info, as I have a dual boot system)

Choose the correct device (it sounds like you have done this) and issue
this command as root:  setserial /dev/ttySx (where the x is the correct
integer)
setserial will report the information for that device.  If the irq that
it reports does not match what you know to be correct, then you can
change it with: setserial /dev/ttySx irq y (where y is the correct
number -- it was 10 in my case).

Make the solution permanent by placing the setserial command in
the rc.d/rc.local script where it can be executed at boot time.

This may or may not solve your problem.  You could have to resort to
playing with jumpers on the modem board to turn off PNP and force a
particular COM and IRQ setting.  Good luck!
