Check your cache settings, Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Cache. For some weird
reason, the default setting for both disk and memory cache is 3MB. Try
upping it to to at least 10MB, or as much as you think you can afford. I
think you'll find that performance will improve tremendously, to
better-than-Windows levels.

Actually that will just give everybody besides the owner a 'permission denied'

Depends, if you balance the load correctly, yes. If not, well, don't do
it. How many simultaneous users are you expecting? A simple machine can
without problems do +-200 (mine: P2 400 > 448 & 128 MB RAM, webSPEC 99

I am currently a Jr. Systems Administrator and I am interested in learning
as much as possible and getting certified. However, my budget is a little
tight. Maybe you could give me some information regarding certification
courses or alternative routes to becoming certified in several areas. Any
information you could supply that would keep me up to date would be
appreciated. I am located in the Chicago area. Thank you for your time.

HELP!
The other day my system crashed, so I could'nt shutdown properly.
Linux has'nt come back since. I use RedHat 6.0, with LILO dual boot.
It used to work fine.
I've tried several LILO options like:
linux single
linux root=....
linux /bin/sh
These options all produce the same error. I do not get a kernel panic
error.
It says:
....
VMS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 60 k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
I can boot with a rescue image. The other suggestion I found was to use
mknod (forgot the rest of the command). This didn't work either, it
coud'nt
find dev/tty1. I can mount the root however (dev/hdb1) or perform
e2fsck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanx

Use NT's or win2k's boot manager. Boot Magic 4.0 is a piece of ****.
Lilo is OK, too.

fetchmail
I think you could place it in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local so that it will
be executed every time you connect, but I'm not 100% sure if that's
the right location for it.
> 3) Collects outgoing mail and sends it next time it is connected.
Sendmail queueing. Allow mail relaying from your local network.
There's a way to keep Sendmail from sending anything
"sendmail -db -O DeliveryMode=d" and then "sendmail -q" after dialing-up
to send what's in the queue. I'm not 100% about the options for
setting it up to run in deferred mode but that should give you an
idea. Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail so it starts like that every
time you boot. I'm sure you could do the same thing with a different
MDA (mail delivery agent) like postfix or qmail if you prefer to run
one of those instead.

Samba. It runs on a number of *nix and *BSD systems and acts
like an NT server. http://www.samba.org/

In my experience, LILO will try to boot any and all of the above operating
systems, but you also need to consider what the op-sys'es themselves want to see
when they come up. Microsoft systems tend to want their partition(s) to be the
active one(s), and we all know there can only be one active partition in an
Intel system. (Linux does not have that restriction). So that means you will
need to set up LILO to boot between two partitions (Linux and MS) and then use
one of the MS loaders on the MS partition to choose between NT, 2000 and 98,
which themselves can be installed just about anywhere.
The other possibility, as you mention, is to use the boot manager that comes
with PM and when set up correctly, it will make the partition active, on the
fly, as needed.
My own preference is not to rely on changing partition ID's on the fly and
that's why I prefer LILO to boot between Linux and Win98, but that's just me !

I just use gmc. Gnome's version of mc. Well, just double click on the

Thomas
I accept and agree with the points you raise.
In my youth (!!!) I enjoyed fixing and tuning my old bomb of a car so that
it would get
me to University for 4 years. Looking back I think it was a "good" thing
that I scraped my knuckles in this fashion, cos I learnt a great deal about
motor vehicles. But I swore back then that when I could afford it I would
buy a car that just "worked" and didn't need constant mothering to keep it
alive. By comparison, my son (21) wouldn't know the difference between a
distributor and a differential because nowadays we want something that just
works out of the box. In addition, if you opened the hood of a current model
vehicle then 1) you wouldn't know where to start because its all
"computerised" and b) if you altered anything you would probably bugger it
up. But you accept this because it just "works" - until something does go
wrong and then you're really up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
My point ?
Well I think it this
1) Distros that are buggy or just poorly configured really annoy
Linux familiar people.
2) Distros that are buggy or poorly configured will cause a person
who is wondering about Linux and gives it try a lot of grief and
they
will run away after a bad experience with their tails between their
legs
yelling " Linux - no way".
You see, skill and knowledge on how to configure/tune Linux is a great thing
but if you start off with a rough edged product then that's really annoying.
It's a bit of a Catch 22 really - the more knowledge you have about
something then the more you become aware of its failings and inadequacies.
Conversely, the slicker a product becomes (eg Windows) then the more
complacent you become either don't want to or can't fix problems when they
arise. I just hope that Linux can attain that nice "middle ground"
wherever that is, and that's the big question).
Regards
Jeff

Subject: Looking for touch screen monitors with drivers for CGA apps
Date: Wed, 05 Jul 2000 17:07:22 -0500
I have an application, runs under SCO Openserver 5.x platform. It is
"curses" based and uses CGA style boxes to display menus. The
application works with keyboard input as well Microtouch touch screen
monitors. Microtouch has drivers that support CGA.
I am evaluating a port of this app to Linux. However, Microtouch (and
ELO Touch) do not provide any drivers that work in CGA mode; their
respective web sites point to the XFree86 drivers for the X Windows
environment.
If you know of any touch screen product that has drivers for the CGA
mode please let me know. I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for your time.
