Hi
Where should I look for the best Linux workstation? Dell or VA Linux?
_Money is not a very big issue_ I saw 1000MHz Windows systems for
2.5k$. How come preinstalled Linux systems do not come with this CPU
and cost more? BTW, should I get Intel or AMD? What kind of bus? Please!
I need urgent adivce (I've got to order this thing before my boss
changes his mind)
Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
I do own the box. So I can look at the bios and cmos etc(which doesn't
seem to help). A simple solution is to store the information somewhere and
let finger or something else return it. But I want something where at no
time will anyone have to look at the box to see what it is, the vendor
information should be available just like the configuration info out of
uname and lspci. Can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks,
Prashant

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Have they fixed up the bugs that made Mandrake 7 so maddening? Some of
these I reported, to no avail. Many problems tend not to be discovered
by reviewers who only try the installation step. Here is some of what
I encountered:
- XEmacs info system broken. They compressed the info files with
bzip2, but forgot to tell XEmacs how to handle them. This bug was
originally reported on Sep 1999, and was still broken in version 6.1
and 7. Is it STILL busted?
- The ftape driver did not work. Somewhere between Mandrake 5 and 6,
it broke. My floppy tape drive would not work until I manually loaded
zftape.o. I reported the problem to Mandrake, and they closed the bug
without fixing it. Still broken in Mandrake 7.
- Upgrade install did not. I tried their upgrade installation over my
Mandrake 6.1 machine. I tweaked the selection of packages and ran the
upgrade. After the install, I found that most of the packages were not
upgraded. I think there was some dependency issues that they neglected
to handle or inform me about. I had to upgrade many of the packages by
hand.
- Mandrake Security (msec) gone berzerk. One of their security
customization scripts had a bug that clobbered my /etc/inittab,
rendering my system unbootable. Most unnerving. The security settings
did not make sense for a network-connected individual user. Why isn't
there a setting that gives strong network security but relaxed user
security? A lot of the settings at the "normal" level was rather
irritating, preventing user access to a lot of normally accessible
directories and files. Moreover, the thing regularly scheduled lengthy
(and noisy) disk scans to check permissions.

Any indication why they don't run? I've had excellent results, even
with dos-extended programs. Have you tried 1.0?
>My programs do run under OS/2 DOS emulation.
Which flavor? The regular, the "direct hardware access allowed", or
the "boot a floppy"? I'm thinking maybe that will give a clue as to
some adjustment that might be made to dosemu.conf. For example, I have
a couple of programs that won't run with default settings but if I give
them 8 MB of DPMI they are happy. Note that they give error message
that seem unrelated to memory too.

Full stop. Get a better telnet. I recommend PuTTY, as it also does
ssh for more security. You can find it at your better Windows freeware
sites. Failing that, set your TERM variable to "vt100" instead of "ansi".
export TERM=vt100
And make sure your terminal window size corresponds to the LINES and
COLUMNS variables. That'll fix the most obvious problems. But
seriously, get a better telnet. The one that comes with Windows is
really bad.

Make sure that the addresses in the news, mail server sections are
resolvable locally - Netscape it doing a DNS lookup on them at startup on
the assumption that it will need them for getting, delivery mail or getting
news.
Had the same problem here & solved it by putting in local addresses as I
only use Netscape for browsing.

If you installed it under KDE you first should go to your Office51 dir
and run deinstall-kde. Then just remove the Office51 dir and then
the Office51 dir in each users home directory.

Why not just make your default start up page a file reference instead of
an http reference. That way Netscape will not try to resolve the URL
and waste time looking for a DNS that isn't there. Can't say I'm
familiar with the "dns helper".

which mandrake??? i'm using 7.0
is it an old serial mouse or ps/2????? i think some serial mice force
you to tweak config files or something
need more info...
for the nic try: ifconfig eth0 (your ip here)
{assuming your nic is eth0} don't know your ip? run (dare i say it?)
winipcfg to get the values from winblow$
you should at least be able to see both the lo and eth0 configs with
ifconfig...once you've got eth0 in just ping your ip and see what
happens..works everytime on my system.

I've simply dispensed with crond. I determined it was the program accessing
my HD 1-2 times every 60 sec, preventing the drive from powering down when
nobody's using the machine. (And the only problem that would incline me to
turn it off at night.) Now it doesn't start rattling away every 00:00
running some security script (with a path too long to remember. I can find
it and run it by hand when I feel like it.) I'd just as soon plan out my
own network security, once I figure out ipchains ! Well, that's supposed
to get easier with linux 2.4.x...... --kamborg

An authoritative answer comes directly from a top-level nameserver. A non-
authoritative answer comes from either the local cache or the cache of a
forwarder DNS server. (Everybody does use forwarders, right?!?).

I installed perhaps 30 different Sparclinux systems and never
used a CD-ROM so I would suggest an installation over the Ethernet.
Find a friend with a cable modem and download the distribution

I've never mounted a Joliet or Rock Ridge CD. But this sounds like a
better approach if that means it could work on a Windows machine. Not
that I would use one of those ;-)
I'll get back to you. I have never actually burned a CD in linux
before, so it will be my first time with cdrecord as well.

First of all, how many times do you hit the CR key after this line?
You need to hit it twice. Once to end the line, and once to create a
blank line after your 'request headers'.
We can go from there after you get something back. Or not.
You might also try the HEAD command instead of GET so you don't get so
