Well, I guess this is a matter of taste and information. Of FreeBSD and
Linux, which is a real contender on (8-CPU) SMP systems, as requested by
the original poster? Perhaps neither.

*sigh* Read up on the Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS), which utilizes
a "Beowulf-style cluster", hence my "distributed file system ala Beowulf"
remark.

Sometimes you need to step back and fully analyze the problem first. He
mentioned he needed a very fast fileserver (or something similar, I've lost
the original point of the thread). With the hardware he mentioned it's obvious
that he will be working in a high-performance environment. Thus, a distributed
file system that performs very well under high loads is VERY relevant.

Solaris is a solid platform and has proven itself in most environments. Again,
the original poster should do a little benchmarking and see what happens.

I'm sorry, I should have added that I am using Exceed in "query" mode

With a static IP it works fine.

Hi Victor,
These errors sound more like linker errors than compiler errors. I

No. It cannot. The X session is started by you. Thus your or programs run
by you can do dammage to it. For example, lad X, and then in a Xterm window do
killall -9 X
you will have destroyed the X session via a program which you ran and wronte. Netscape
uses X intensively and can thus affect X.
This is not to say of course that X does not have bugs which a program could trigger
so as to destroy the X session.

I've no experience with this specific problem, but I suggest you check
the Trelos Web site for the kernel patches to add Win4Lin support to a
kernel, then recompile a kernel yourself. This is a bit of a pain, but
IMHO, any Linux sysadmin should be able to compile a kernel, so if
you've not done it before, consider it a learning experience that'll
greatly expand the range of things you can do in Linux.

Thanks Paul, I got round this another way, I d/l'd the ghostscript-src.rpm
which had a fix for the makefile in it. I might put the fixed makefile
on my web page so that others don't have the problems that I had.

A recompile sounds a bit drastic. The apache docs give really good
info on building and configuration, at http://www.apache.org
Isn't max users set in httpd.conf? Just change the appropriate

You've used an RPM, that's where you've gone wrong, get the source
from http://www.apache.org, it comes complete with extensive
documentation, unpack, make the changes, then compile. It's the
.tar.gz your looking for not the RPM.

RH is easy to install, I'm on 6.2 upgraded from 6.0, I needed to do
some alterations after the upgrade but noting massive. There are
some things I don't like about RH and the way it's going, (not the

Any bogstandard distro comew with apache and perl, you'll need to
way up the pros and cons before buying, taking your own particular
needs into account.

It can be a workstation and a server all at the same time. Linux is
traditionally a server/network animal not a desktop. Web servers
aren't as complicated as they sound, it's just a program that runs
in the background line your printserver, fontserver, X server etc.

For a whole distro upgrade you're probably best using a CD (which
you can d/l and put onto a CD). If you upgrade the kernel you don't
necessarily have to change anything else, in fact you'd only
probably want to upgrade a kernel to support some new hardware.
After all there's no point in upgrading just for the sake of seeing
a higher version number every time you log in, (I think of that
as being an MS Windows custom).

"Running Linux", by O'reilly, It'll give you some very basic stuff,

Geez...my old Compaq laptop (486SX!) has a swapable floppy not
supported by Linux & NO cdrom! What's your problem? :-)
Just kidding...
I installed Slackware Linux on with my laptop. I run kernel 1.3.20 or
2.0 (can't remember which since I haven't booted it for awhile) since
that kernel is smaller. You might consider cruising the net for a
mailorder place that's liquidating old memory for augmenting your
laptop esp if you want to run more current kernels.
Method A. Create a small DOS partition & install DOS. Install the cd
drive & copy loadlin.exe, "bare" kernel image from kernel subdir, &
"color" root disk image to the partition. Boot to DOS then boot Linux
using loadlin, no floppy required.
Method B. Install the floppy drive & a PCMCIA network card (they're
not very expensive these days). Boot using the "net" kernel image &
pcmcia.gz floppy images & mount a networked desktop's cd drive via
NFS.

If Linux is a system used by a small community of hobbyists and
experimenters and can't get any serious work done because it
can't communicate with the rest of the computer world, it
won't go anywhere.

Then, why you should try the SPRM way? If you really mean more than 1K
concurrent sessions/processes, then you're not just playing. From your
message can be deduced that you'd be just OK compiling Apache form it's
source code, so just do so: you don't need the RPM for anything, if you
don't want'em.
