No Word? Of course not! Who would want a Micro$haft application

I've crashed RedHat 6.0 running Gnome only once in the last
8 months of more or less nightly use, and I had to use the
power button to shutdown. Nice, long fsck after that. I
think I was trying to get PPP to work, so it was very
likely my fault for screwing around as root under Gnome. (I
like drag & drop editors, so flame me.)
I've crashed Windows 95 and NT much more frequently. One of
the culprits is AOL software under Win95. Squat all to
configure - just questionable quality software. As for NT,
bad things can happen when running 'unattended' software
like tape backups if you forget to disable screen savers.
Again, nothing to _configure_ per se, rather a very good
idea to remember to disable some GUI features when running
some utilities. Then there's Lotus Notes and trying to
debug forms that use LotusScript and OLE/DDE. Again, no
configuration issues, just software limitations or bugs.

Subject: How Microsoft inhibits competition & innovation
Date: Fri, 07 Apr 2000 23:37:39 GMT
"Everyone who uses a computer or depends on computers has
an interest in seeing Microsoft's anticompetitive and anti-
consumer practices curtailed by antitrust authorities.
Microsoft's claim that it's defending its right to innovate
is a cruel joke in an industry that sees its best innovators
attacked by the company's anticompetitive actions.
Microsoft's agenda isn't innovation, it's imitation, as well
as the imposition of suffocating control over user choices
and an ever-widening monopoly."
---- consumer advocate Ralph Nader
(See http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9811/11/nader.idg/ )
** In the story below, read especially the paragraph where
Microsoft warns Silicon Valley venture capitalists not to
fund start-ups that may compete with Microsoft.
In other words, not only will Microsoft not innovate, they
don't want anyone else innovating either! If as a computer
user, this doesn't get you mad check for a pulse!
Excerpts from a story that appeared in San Jose Mercury News
on Sunday, October 26, 1997.
=====================================
The ''urgent'' message, from a Microsoft Corp. vice president,
surprised Mitchell Kertzman, CEO of software maker Sybase Inc.
It was a few days after Sybase had launched a key product
called Jaguar CTS, and he wasn't expecting to hear from the
planet's most potent software company.
Six months later, the words Kertzman heard when he returned the
call still ring clearly in his memory. Microsoft, the official
said, thought the way Sybase was positioning Jaguar -- as a
competitor to Microsoft -- was ''a really bad idea.''
While the official says he never delivered a threat, a stunned
Kertzman clearly felt one and hurriedly relayed the episode to
colleagues in Emeryville. ''I think the godfather just called me
and told me to stop selling drugs on their street corner,'' he
said. A few weeks later, Microsoft responded to Jaguar. It
announced its competing product would be included in the
Windows NT operating system, delivering a blow to Sybase's
$700 stand-alone offering.
[ *** Note: Does the above strategy -- tying -- sound familiar
to anyone? Is there anyone out there that still thinks Microsoft
shouldn't be split up? ]
Steering innovators
There's nothing subtle about how Microsoft tries to channel
innovation.
Last Wednesday, in the second of what Microsoft hopes will be
annual confabs, several top Microsoft execs traveled to Sand
Hill Road in Menlo Park to meet with about 100 venture
capitalists. There, Microsoft outlined its technology plans and
prodded financiers to invest in start-ups that would dovetail
with Microsoft's strategies -- and reportedly suggested they
check with Redmond to steer clear of start-ups that might run
afoul of Microsoft's trajectory.
''Their thesis was give us a call and tell us what our companies
are doing,'' said Warren Packard, an associate with Draper
Fisher Jurvetson in Redwood City. ''It kind of got chuckles from
the audience, but to a certain extent it makes sense.''
Start-ups often don't know until they're well under way that
they'll end up on Microsoft's radar screen.
Fear of being in Microsoft's line of sight affects not only
start-ups but also companies going public. When BEA Systems Inc.
of Sunnyvale met with investors earlier this year before its
public offering, ''The most commonly asked question bar none was
'What are you going to do about Microsoft in this space?' '' said
Ed Scott, executive vice president of worldwide operations.
**
Last year Microsoft incorporated into its Windows NT operating
system for running computers on a network a so-called Web server,
which is software that enables a computer to host Web pages.
That struck at the heart of O'Reilly & Associates of Sebastopol.
''I think at bottom, they were dumping their Web server to drive
other people out of the market,'' said founder Tim O'Reilly, who
has managed to be one of the few remaining Web server suppliers.

Thanks for all the help. And for confirming my suspicions that kill -9 pid not

As luck would have it, I just picked up a copy of MaximumLinux. They have a

<snip>
I have a two SCSI harddisk system. The original harddisk
had SCSI ID 0. Out of the box, the second drive that I
added myself had SCSI ID 15. I had to read the manual
(imagine that) to find out that RedHat 6.0/Kernel 2.2.5-15
required SCSI harddisks to have SCSI IDs 0 and 1, so my
problem was purely hardware.
Is your harddisk controller IDE or SCSI? If SCSI, maybe
your system has the same requirements.

Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 00:19:44 GMT
Would someone have some useful experience to share about having used
any of these two printers under Linux ?
The HP Deskjet 1120C is a printer capable of A3+ paper size. I am
especially interrested in its photo capabilities (PhotoREt II), even
if I must use it under Windows, as long as the printer remains capable
of a fairly good text and graphic printing under Linux, without my
having to go through the hassle of ink oversaturation and wasting as I
presently have to put up with my HP Deskjet 600.
As an alternate, I may buy the HP deskjet 815. So, any hint on this
would also be useful.
Thanks for any reply.

I know this has been mentioned many many times but I will post it again.
It has gotten way out of control again and it needs to stop.
Do not post to all newsgroups to ask a question!!
It really slows things down since there are newsgroups for specific
topics you need to choose the one that best fits your problem and wait
for an answer. These are not chatrooms!! When you cross post, it is a
waste of bandwidth and server space as well as time for those who would
help but get tired of having to sort through all the cross posts to get
to others and just don't have the time or won't waste time to help. If
everyone would post to the newsgroup that best fits the problem the
people with knowledge of the type of problems you are having will be
more likely to help.

There is suppose to be a Agent-like reader for X called NewsFlex. However,

Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 00:58:43 GMT
Here's my problem. I have a friend who is running the following:
Mandrake 6.0, kernel 2.2.9
Sound Blaster 16
AMD K6-433mHz processor
KDE & Gnome versions that came with distro
The problem is not that sound isn't working. I can change the mixer
settings, record and play just fine. But, I can only play files if I
send them directly to the sound card with "cat file.au > /dev/dsp".
None of the sound programs like KMedia and EsounD seem to want to use
it. ESD isn't complaining, but when I use "esdplay", nothing comes out
of the speakers. KMedia complains that it can't connect to the sound
server. Timidity won't work either. It appears to be playing, but
nothing comes out of the speakers. GTK+ doesn't play sounds either (I
know, it works off of ESD). I've set up isapnp correctly, and the
kernel recognizes the card just fine. Ideas, anyone?

I have downloaded a driver for a graphics tablet
from www.lepied.com/xfree86. It's in .gz format, but I can't get it
unzipped. I've tried to gunzip it under Linux and tried all kinds of
tools under Windows and DOS, but none of them seem to recognize the file
as a proper .gz file (I get 'unknown file format' or similar messages).
I have also downloaded the most recent version I could find of gzip
(1.2.4a), installed it, but this din't help either.
I don't have any problems unzipping the.gz files that were included with
the Linux distribution, only the downloaded files won't work. I
downloaded them with Netscape under Windows 98.
I hope someone can give me a clue on this. I'm beginning to get quite

You need to make a shell script to run it. Netscape 6 requires you to
be in the same directory as the netscape binary when you start it. Just
put a cd command in a script and run that.
Hope this helps.

I do hope it has a better interface than the Windows version. I
downloaded, installed and promptly removed it (despite the fact there's
no uninstaller). Ugly as homemade sin - Looks _like_ a web page, not a
browser. *Way* too much fluff. You can't pare it down to the essentials.
At least, that was the Windows version. Then again, 4.x on Windows looks
pretty much like it does on *nix.

The limit is now at 2T or 2048G. (granted, this large, you'll have a very
large block size, but few people need this much space atm.)
Unfortunately, on a 32-bit system, you're limited to a single file being

So... You installed it.
Did you add leafnode to inetd.conf?
If so, did you restart inetd?
The message you got usually means that the server isn't running, so the
connection fails because there's nothing on the port to connect to.
Another possibility is that there's something wrong with your
/etc/leafnode/config file. If leafnode fails to parse it or can't find it, it
will fail to start.
Try typing 'leafnode' at the root prompt. It'll report an error if it can't
start for some reason.
> I have tried the commands both as user root and news with same result.
What commands? What messages did you get back?
(HINT. Always give as much info as possible with a problem, such as what you
did, and what happened... "Nothing" very rarely happens in Linux. There's
almost always some kind of error message or log report in /var/log/messages.
In the case of leafnode, other places to look would be
/var/log/news/news.err or /var/log/news/news.crit.
