Hi all,
Is there a simple program available that will let me draw flow charts ?
I don't want to start up star office every time I want to play around
with a simple idea.
I've tried most of the drawing packages but they are very cumbersome and
you can't link the boxes with connectors and have them follow the box
when moved.
I thought that daVinci might solve my problem but it will only allow
left -> right or top -> bottom diagrams - very fustrating.
Any suggestions ?
Ian.

Do you have any resource limits set by chance? Any trace of "limit",
"fetchlimit", "batchlimit" in your ~/.fetchmailrc, or -l/-B/-b on the
command line?
See 'man fetchmail', '/Limit' for details.

There's a great utility for Windows called DU Meter that's a
realtime monitor for network activity with different colors for uploads
and downloads. Is there anything similar for Linux? I've tried xifmon,
but I must be using it wrong because nothing shows up on the graphs when

Hi all....
I have lined up three machines:
1) Solaris 7
2) NT 4.0
3) Redhat 6.1
I have a load Balancer which distributes load i.e. HTTP request to
any one of these machines behind the Cisco switch (2900series). I have
made these machines as equal as possible in terms of RAM, MHz, etc.
Now my question?
Is there any software or scripts which can start spitting out X amount
of HTTP request on these machines while each counting the HTTP request
they have served within a given time period? If someone has any other
suggestion I would be glad to share with everyone......
Cheers,

Some Winmodems are installed with software drivers for DOS,
so that's not the best test, although it will detect most.
The best thing is to get the manufacturer and model number

I'm in the market for a new NIC for my Linux box. The card I'm
currently looking at is the Netgear FA310TX, and I'm wondering how well
it works with Linux. After I setup my ip, gateway, etc., does it
always work without a hitch? Or does it "work" with Linux, only after
days of playing around with it?
As a side note, if it does work well with Linux, which module does it
use?

Our local paper had an article about gas prices and they mention some guy
who drives "70 miles per day" for his commute and it costs him "$250 per
month" for gas at $1.50 per gallon. Let's see...that works out to about
12.6 miles/gal if he that 70 miles every single day (and worse if he
doesn't).
Gee, I wonder what kind of vehicle he has? Tough luck bonehead. You
shoulda bought a car instead of a rolling condo.

not really: in the medical, bio-technology, and related areas, europe
is quite well developed. I guess the two countries ahead (at europe)
are UK and Sweden. German and Swiss are quite well on the pharmacy
industry. Not too long ago, the brits shook the world with the
Dolly cloning, while a swedish research lab announced recently a
possible treatment for aids. In this area, europe is well served,
as is in the mechanical area (cars, civil planes, industrial machinery...),
and most day-to-day industry (clothes, plastics, ...), the problem
resides in new technologies, such computing, electronics and aeronautics,
where the USA has a big overall advantage.

japs work longer, and in the last few years, a number of deaths
caused by work excess, were registered.
work in hours per year (average):
jap: 2200
usa: 2150
average europe: 1980
but you know the average law: you have two chickens, I have none,
in average, both of us have one.
in portugal, the average closes the 40h/week standard, but most IT or

You could try the latest milestone of Mozilla, Netscape's open source
browser, which will probably become Netscape 5 someday. In the latest
milestone, M14, the Mail client included has multiple pop3 accounts,
but not multiple smtp accounts (they're reasoning is that you can send
all messages through one server, since it apparently doesn't matter).
You can download the latest version at http://www.mozilla.org. There
are Linux, Win9x, and Mac versions available, and the Linux version is
around 6MB for everything!
Hope this helps,

You don't see many European start-ups, then. :) This is both
good and bad, and part of a larger debate. (And has some tiny
relation to linux...)

Couldn't really comment. Though from what I've heard, the educational
system can be very limiting- it's pretty much laid out for you from a
surprisingly young age what types of schools you go to (and *can* go to).
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Try North Dakota, or Montana. The US is *big*, and parts of it have
really nasty weather. I've been in Germany in the winter, and it just
didn't seem that bad. :P
> . language: hardly understandable or spoken :-)
True. I never had any trouble finding people who spoke better English
than I do, when I needed help. :)
And also, housing. From what I've heard, it's pretty pricey in Europe.
Not that the US has doesn't have any expensive areas, but overall
Europe is just alot more crowded.

The US (again, from what I hear) seems to have a vastly superior
communications infrastructure, overall. Though some parts of Europe
are pretty well wired, or linux and cryptography software might not
be so widespread today. :)

it is well known, that it is sweden the country with heavier taxes
(and remaining nordic countries follows them)
curiously, I was looking into some stats on last weekend.
Unfortunately, I don't remember all the values by heart, but
(from the 12 or so analyzed countries, trying to make a representative
study), sweden was at top, with 70% and something consumation of their
GDP in state revenues.
mexico at the bottom, with 30% something.
portugal at the lower middle. we have about 43% (yes: here people
also thinks we are the ones that pay more...)
if france has the 55% you describe (although I have the
feeling that your numbers are slighly overestimated), that places
your country at the upper middle.

No, 'cd-rom' drives should up as /dev/scdN or /dev/srN and don't affect
the /dev/sdXXX mapping / allocation.

If using Windowmaker, wmnet does this. For Gnome there is rp3 (?). E has
something too. I think any of the more establised windowmanagers will
have an applet.
