~~
~~ Linux is the name of an _operating system kernel_.
~~
~~ It is not a biological construct for which the term "healthy" is
~~ particularly meaningful.
~~
~~ It does not have volition; it does whatever /etc/inittab indicates
~~ that it should do.
~~
~~ It cannot create "cybermoney," nor can it _lose_ "cybermoney."
I think this individual just read some sort of article on
"cybermoney" because he posted the same question in the Perl
newsgroup (comp.lang.perl.misc). I am not sure what this has
to do with Linux or Perl.

That fixed it!
That was WAY to simple! I was expecting the solution to be MUCH more
difficult than that!
Thanks alot!

I'm afraid Netscape is the best browser for Linux right now. Apart from
lynx, the other usable browsers I have tried are:
1. w3m: a much better text mode browser (IMHO) than lynx. Does tables,
frames, mouse clicks and popup menus.
2. kfm (browser in KDE 1.1.2): somewhat usable, rather limited. Don't
even think about SSL or Javascript.
There are new browsers in the works, but the Linux software world is
full of yet-to-be-fulfilled promises. Unfinished browsers include:
1. Konqueror (browser in KDE 2). KDE 2 should be released in a month or
two, so this will be the first "next gen" browser to reach
"release" status. Never tried it but heard good reviews.
2. Mozilla: months away from release. Bloated, buggy and slow. Eats up
twice as much memory as Netscape, UI feels twice as slow. Ugh.
3. Galeon (Mozilla derivative): quite new, still rough and
limited. Reportedly a lot less bloated than Mozilla.
4. Opera: fast, small, buggy and very rough. No idea when it will ever
be released. Tech preview available. No schedule, no promises.

It depends on what he needs the cpu speed for. bogomips can be misleading. If
you examine /var/log/messages not too long after a reboot, you will find some
lines like this (from my other machine that I rebooted after running Windows
95 yesterday) (long lines trimmed):

Subject: Syslog kernel logging fails with SIGHUP
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 23:44:18 -0500
I have ipchains logging most rejected packets. However when logrotate
rotates my log file and sends a SIGHUP to syslog, kernel messages (including
ipchains logging) no longer works. Other logging to the same file will
still work. It appears that only kernel messages fail. I have to stop and
restart syslog to make it work. Any ideas?
Currently using kernel 2.2.12, syslog version 1.3-3. (Red Hat 6.1)

I got a Conner 1.7GB QIC tape drive (uses $30 QIC 3020 tapes) on a
dedicated CTC-2MB floppy tape controller. It works pretty well on my old
machine, but the tapes are too expensive and do not hold enough
(850MB uncompressed (normal mode) and 1.7GB compressed (but current
floppy tape drivers do not write compressed mode any more). It is kind-of
slow.
On this machine, I have an HP C1599A DDS-2 SCSI DAT Drive. It is on a
dedicated LSILogic Symbios 810 Narrow SCSI controller (i.e., no big
deal). It holds about 8GB on a cheap DDS-2 tape (about $8.00) and is a
lot faster than floppy tapes. The drive is about $800 retail, but you may
be able to find a better price.

/ md0 1506M RAID1[sda5,sdb1]
/home md1 800M RAID1[sda7,sdb6]
/var md2 902M RAID1[sda6,sdb5]
/tmp md3 502M RAID1[sdb8,sda9]
The process went smoothly. At the very end the system hangs with the
following message, "Performing post install configuration..." Does anyone
what gives? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: GLIBC 2.1 for enlightenment
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 16:51:41 +1200
I want to run enlightenment on Caldera OpenLinux v2.3 but e wants GLIBC
v2.1.
I downloaded glibc-2.1.1-2.i386.rpm from
ftp://ftp.calderasystems.com/pub/openlinux/updates/2.3/current/RPMS/
and installed this. But 'rpm -qa' shows this as not installed and when I
try to install e it reports GLIBC 2.1 is missing. Plus according to
other messages I see I also need crypt and linuxthreads (which don't
appear to be available).
Are there any sources of info, rpm's etc that cover this?
Thanks
Geoffrey Mills
