indeed, BSDi springs to mind, esp since money is no problem.
i, personally, haven't had the chance yet to play with it.
i heard it's nice tho. i think it's good to check this one out.

heard some bad stories about solaris/x86 and haven't heard anyone yet that
liked SCO (everyone i heard about it, plainly detested SCO)

about the free bsd derivates, rule out netbsd and openbsd.
they both don't support SMP (yet), and are ment for another market anyway.
netbsd isn't particularly fast but runs on a very wide variety of h/w.
openbsd is ment to be as secure as possible, and i take it your server
isn't connected to the 'net, but is a corporate internal-only server.

freebsd is nice, in that it's fast and does support SMP. don't know about
how well on more then 2 processors tho. maybe try it out. :)

vendors usually don't tell if their hardware is supported by *bsd, you 
have to look it up in the supported hardware list on the respective *bsd site.
i happen to know there are gigabit NIC's supported by freebsd.
make sure you have 64bit NIC's in 64bit PCI slots tho. (don't know if they
come in 32bit PCI flavour, but this is what someone told me)

don't know about these issues.
what i do know, is, RH is nice if you don't want to bother with your system,
but for the more professional i'd check out debian first.

not caring about the many differences of the respective linux distributions,
linux might be interresting to use. here also, check the supported h/w list.

I assume you mean Caldera's Linux distribution.  This is not too
difficult, except that LoseME can no longer boot up in real DOS mode
(meaning no LOADLIN.EXE) and may not be able to make a DOS boot disk.
So you may want to run the first couple of steps of this process on a
Lose9x machine.

0. Insert blank floppy disk into drive
1. FORMAT A:, SYS A:
2. Copy FIPS.EXE to the floppy from your Caldera distro.  It's in the 
dosutils directory on the first CD.
3. Read the documentation for FIPS.  Or else.
4. Boot LoseME box from the DOS boot disk you just created.
5. Run FIPS, remembering what you read in step 3.  If you have a large
disk, shrink the LoseME partition to about 7.8G or so--no larger; if
Linux's kernel is over the 1024-cylinder limit, older versions of LILO
won't be able to boot your kernel!
6. Boot from the first Caldera CD.  When it comes time to partition the
disk, leave /dev/hda1 alone (that's your LoseME partition) and kill the
extra partition FIPS made (/dev/hda2, most likely), then create 3 more
partitions (at least):  One /boot, can be about 10M (no larger), make sure it's
entirely within the 1024-cylinder limit.  One swap, probably about 128M
or so.  One /, covering a reasonable amount of space.
7. Continue with the install, but when it comes time to run LILO, put
LILO in the bootsector of the /boot partition, and mark that partition
active using Linux fdisk.

Your manual should have plenty of information on this topic; check it
out.  Also look at http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ and
http://linuxnewbie.org/ for a wealth of advice.

Another poster has suggested VNC, which is probably a good choice.  Or, you
can go with XWin32, which in demo mode, provides you up to 2 hours of
connection at a time, and then you have to reconnect.  You can repeat this
process indefinitely.  That works well for me when I want to do work in X.
They're at http://www.starnet.com/

Or, you can go the best low-tech route, and use an Open Source telnet client
called TeraTerm Pro.  It won't handle X ,but then I don't spend much time in
X anyway.  (Certainly not to administer my machines.)  That can be obtained
at http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html

 take a look at eepro100.c under the kernel source for a variable

I never tried talking to sendmail (that listens on my port 25). Perhaps
it is waiting for you to type something into it, such as an e-mail. I do
not know this; I am just guessing.

What do you expect sendmail to do if you telnet to it?

Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2000 18:44:37 GMT

Hello All!

I have the Apache 1.3.12 + mod_fastcgi module. I am running the FastCGI
scripts. I have a following problem: if a client does the HEAD request
to some CGI script (FastCGI) and this script responses the small
response that HEAD request is normal - its content length is zero. But
(!!!) if the output of this script is big ( > 40Kb) then a HEAD
response is a random chopped response of a part CGI HTML output. The
HEAD response by RFC standart should be zero length. But the apache
1.3.12 responses more than 0. I suggest that this behaviour is not
right.

The best way I know of for doing this is to install Linux in a VMware
session (http://www.vmware.com). You can then capture the VMware screen
using the GIMP, xv, or whatever. This will NOT get any hardware-specific
screens, though, unless it's hardware that VMware happens to emulate.

Subject: newbie question on minicom?
Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2000 19:34:29 GMT

Hi,

I have the following newbie questions on minicom.

1. Due to my ISP, I need to type ppp each time when I want to establish
a ppp conection. But after I type "ppp", my terminal gave me some weird
strings. I know that means the ppp conection has been established. My
question is what should I do at that time in order to continue to
conection but out of the weird strings? In windows, usually press "F7"
will work. What should I do to continue it?

2. If I just establish the telnet connection with my server, I can not
ftp files. I tried the "Send file" and "Receive file" in minicom, but I
can not either send or download. And more, what are the meanings for
the "xmodem, ymodem, zmodem, kermit, ascii" in minicom on this aspect?

3. If I open minicom in one term, and established the connection. How
can I also use this connection in another different term? I tried to
use the network in a different term in which I used minicom, but I can
not ping and telnet to the server. It seems only in the same term as
the minicom is running, the network is usable. But I have the problem
of No. 1. So, I am lost.

4. Where can I find some detailed tutorial or instruction on minicom?

Thanks in advance.

Davis

Do any errors show up in /var/log/messages about lost interrupts or read
errors?  Even an old P100 box running Evergreen cpu upgrade (K6-2/400)
does this for an old WD 2.1 GB with no dma, just -c1 -m8 (up from 3 MB/sec
with no settings):

# hdparm -Tt /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  4.78 seconds =26.78 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 13.49 seconds = 4.74 MB/sec

My PIII 500 laptop with dma (9 GB IBM):

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.03 seconds =124.27 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  4.90 seconds =13.06 MB/sec

Note: Enabling -c1 -m16 -> 4.89 seconds =13.09 MB/sec
(statistical variation or not enough to worry about?)

Are you by any chance running Gnome or any program that automounts

It is a suite of pc-to-unix connectivity tools.

> What is it used for?

In short, it is used to allow the resources of Unix systems
to appear in the pc-lan "network neighborhood" and to be
used by pc operating systems. Unlike the older pc-nfs
facitlites, it does not require special client software on
each pc to give it the ability to speak to Unix systems,
it puts the pc-lan protocols on the Unix system, so it
can converse with pcs using their native pc-lan protocol.

On linux systems only, it also allows remote pc disks to
be mounted on the local filesystem.

> Do I install it on a workstation or server?

Either one -

Chances are, it's already installed. If you are running an rpm
based system, just say "rpm -q samba" to see if it's there.

adjust the command to suit if using a non-rpm based system.
