The answer to the question "Is there a way to have the linux box
automatically login and start a kde session without having to type
anything?" is yes, but it's somewhat involved.
But, if you are only using your linux box as a gateway/router, then
why bother? Why not enable IP-forwarding (and perhaps IP masquerading
and IP Firewalling), and configure your linux box as a router? That
way, your home peer network nodes simply route through the linux box
to the internet. There's no need to bring up a desktop or commandline
on the linux box unless you actually want to interact with the linux
box.

England is expensive in certain respects. So is France, BTW. But in
Germany, for example, computers are generally cheaper than they in the
U.S., indeed, we're one of the cheapest countries when it comes to
buying computers. I suppose England and France have similar advantages
in certain areas. Whether a country is expensive or cheap for Joe
Schmoe does not depend entirely on the country, it depends on Joe's
needs and tastes just as well.

The question should rather be "Linux or WinNT" ? Because Linux can only be
compared with WinNT, not Windows 98, on many levels. Would you use WinNT
instead of Windows 98?
So you see, Linux, as it is today, is a more complex system than Windows 98
because it can do a lot more and also because it is built in such a way that
it's the interoperability of different parts that makes the system. And of
course, you can change those parts separately if you wish. You can upgrade
your "screen driver" (XFree86) then you can update your window manager, then
your desktop, then the kernel, then the libraries, etc...
This implies a level of difficulty not found at all in Windows.
> I can�t do programmed difficult software.
> So I need to know if Linux is easy to use?
This said, it is not that much difficult to run a Linux system, basically, as
a stand alone machine connected to the internet. You can rather easily do
excellent graphic work in many formats (The Gimp), get and send e-mail
(different programs), read news (also different programs), listen to music on
the internet, listen to your CDs and find out about them on the internet
(CDDB), use a complete office suite such as the free StarOffice, browse pdf
files, do programming in many languages of course, and much more.
My very first exposition to Linux was with a Red Hat 6.0 given free on a CD
from the Linux France Magazine, a few months ago. Then I bought Red Hat 6.1
and installed it. There is a learning curve. You have to read things and
take some time to understand a minimum of how it goes. If you expect to
immediately run something after install, perhaps it won't happen. Perhaps it
will. In any case you'll need to tune things a bit. This does not mean to
program anything, but supposes a familiarity with programming constructs.
You'll find help everywhere, the documentation is simply astounding.
> Can I still use my win98 software and other software for window98 ?
Well, you can install both Linux and Windows 98 on the same machine and boot
one or the other. This is not difficult to do. With Linux you can see your
Windows data so you can transfer files between the two systems.
Briefly, you install Win98 on C: then you install Linux on D:. If you need
more info about how to install these two, let me know.

Subject: Linux and the future of the world
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2000 14:31:49 -0000
I am currently researching for an article on the relevance of Linux's story
to the future of economics as a whole. I am a researcher with Britain's
oldest think tank, The Institute of Economic Affairs, so the article I am
going to write is not going to be a Jesse Berst bit of opinionated
self-publicity, but rather a research paper. By coming onto the big bad
world of Usenet, I hope to get some intelligent, detailed answers to a
variety of
questions that I have set for myself to answer. Over the last few days I
have been reading quite a lot of the most important articles on the growth
of free software and opensource, but there is surprisingly little in the way
of non-flame articles. Hence I have come here to look for help, opinions,
links, facts, and above all, answers. Here are (some of ) the questions that
I have set myself. If some of these sound vague, like the first one, it is
intentionally to draw unlikely thoughts out from readers.
1) What is interesting about Linux? Why do people talk about it at all?
2) Why has Linux achieved what it has?
3) What has Linux really achieved?
4) Where is Linux heading, realistically, in the short, medium and long
terms?
5) Is Linux sustainable as a project? Is it more or less sustainable than
non-free projects?
6) Is Linux actually aiming at a level of desktop usability on par with
Windowz? If so, when? If not, why not?
7) Is it more than just a typical manifestation of idealism which cannot
threaten the products of the financial incentives of the proprietory
software world? Could Linux become the CND of the modern age, if the
Microsoft case ever ends?
8) Which is better Windows or Linux? ( jk )
I look forward to seeing what you have to say about these questions. I am
fully aware that generally, these issues have 'already been covered in
earlier posts', but I am hoping (vainly) that setting out these questions
again will allow people to comment with completely up to the minute
information.
When/if this paper gets published, it will be posted on the soon-to-be
revamped IEA home page www.iea.org.uk, as well as sent to the media, MPs and
so on.
thanks very much

This kicked off quite a thread... you will find that most employers
base their salary on previous salary more than on "what the job is
worth" (if the job posting says "depending on experience" you can read
that as "we'll give you a competitive raise over your previous job").
Since your previous experience didn't provide you with a competitive
salary to base the offer on, you're looking at whatever "just above
entry level" is in your area. I'd guess looking at $30-40k is
probably in the ballpark.

Under RH6.1, you should be able to make boot floppy with
the commands
/sbin/mkbootdisk 2.2.12-20
where you replace the number of your kernel for 2.2.12-20 if
it is different. Check the /boot directory to see. Also,
it is possible you have to be in that directory to run the
command.
But the boot floppy you produce this way may take very long
to boot, so long you may think it has hung. This seems to
have something to do with the way newer BIOSs read floppy
disks under some circumstances. If you just want to boot,
you might do better by copying the kernel directly to a floppy.
Assume your kernel does have the above number. Do
cd /boot
dd if=vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 of=/dev/fd0
Now assume your root partition is /dev/hda2. Then do
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2
If your root partition is something else, use that instead.
This tells the kernel you have put on /dev/fd0 what the root
device is. This is not needed when booting from the hard
disk (or in any circumstance using lilo) because you tell
lilo what the root device is in the lilo configuration file.
My experience is that kernels created this way boot fairly
quickly.
Finally, if you use mkbootdisk, the boot floppy will
allow you to enter
rescue and later insert a rescue disk to boot a ramdisk version
of Linux for repair purposes. Unfortunately, the RH6.0 release
omitted the rescue image for that disk. But the RH6.0 version,
which is still available at many mirror sites will work.

FWIW, there was a DOS command that let you do the same (okay, I don't
know W2K, so I don't know whether it's exactly the same), apart from
stupid SUBST.EXE tricks. That command was JOIN.EXE, IIRC (no, I'm not

Agreed, most definitely. And _highly_ innovative, as usual (but then,

I have setup a directory of webpages on my linux machine.
I want to ftp this directory structure over to a Mac. Normally I would
just create web.tar.gz, sftp web.tar.gz over to other machine, then use
ssh to log onto that machine and do tar zvxf web.tar.gz to unpack the
directory.
However, there is no ssh available for Mac.
The Mac admin says that Mac users use something called fetch which
allows Macs to send a whole directory to another machine--apparently it
uses some ftp protocol.
Is there a way I can use ftp to send a whole directory to another
machine? Something like mput but a whole directory, not just a bunch of
separate files that match some characters.

What is actually the reason for computers being cheaper in Germany? As far as I
would hazard to guess, there aren't too many being manufactured here.

markus,
I like your sigs. :)
You seem to have a script that cats a different sig in every message you
compose - how did you do that? (If you don't want to go OT here, just
email me directly if you don't mind).
Thanks,

We call those "Credit Unions" here in the US. And I much prefer doing
business with one of those or a small local bank (there are a few left)
rather than one of the mega banks. I've had accounts with small banks
that got bought by bigger ones, and in every single case fees went up and
service went down.
