Caldera is likely to add a non-GPL licensing mechanism -- most likely
one based on the BSD license -- to its repertoire in the coming
months.
Love, Caldera's CEO, said that Microsoft has raised a valid point in
questioning whether companies can build valid, supportable business
models around the Free Software Foundation's GPL.

Subject: Shell interface for MP3 jukebox?
Date: Sat, 02 Jun 2001 22:12:28 GMT
I have a Wyse WY-60 terminal that has gone unused since I acquired it some
time ago, and I'm just now getting around to figuring out a cool use for it.
Well, I think I might have found one.
What I would like to do is use it as an interface to a Linux system that
acts as an MP3 jukebox. Basically, the Linux system would be connected to
my entertainment center for audio and to my WY-60 via the serial port.
That's all well and good, but I need to find an interface for
playing/cataloging/queuing the MP3's that will translate well to the WY-60.
Does anybody know of any programs that would fit the bill here? I would
like to have something that is capable of listing and launching the MP3s,
supports use of playlists, and allows basic start/stop/previous track/next
track functionality - pause, fast forward/reverse, and volume control are
not crucial.
Thanks in advance for any help tracking something down!

A search of http://freshmeat.net/ for "mp3" returns lots
of matches. There's quite a few web-based ones, so maybe
you could interface through lynx or w3m?

Thanks! I did a search there for "mp3" and "console" and a bunch came back.
MP3Blaster looks to be exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi
I seem to have meny problems with my PPP daemon....one of which is that it
doesn't exist....i've compiled my kernel with ppp support, and yet...it
doesn't seem to work...
Taken from PPP-Howto:
Click on the box next to "Config", then the box on "Networking", then
the box next to "Client tasks". You should see an entry called
"PPP/SLIP/PLIP". Click on that. On the right hand side of Linuxconf,
you should now see a box called "PPP/Slip/Plip configurations". There
should be an area below that, listing existing PPP devices(if any) and
three buttons below that.
now i don't have that in my linuxconf...
is there any way in which i can get it there???
many thanks

Just a thought, though some else may be of more help. You can add modules to
linuxconf in control-->linuxconfig management-->modules
Strange you don't have it there, perhaps you didn't install everything from the
cd's you need?

I suppose you could look at it a number of ways. Maybe the easiest
is to figure out the amount that will encourage the most people
to send in the money. I'm sure there are ways to calculate
that. I do assume that it's always better for many people
to do a little bit or send in a small amount, than have a handful
of people do all the work or send in all the money.
Of course, one could try to put a real value on the software, but
I suspect that might be quite high. If people are willing to spend
whatever WIndows costs nowadays (though the cost is often hidden),
shouldn't they be willing to pay the same amount for Linux? Of course,
while I was willing to spend good money on OS9 (the multitasking OS,
not the latests Mac OS) in years gone by, I find myself losing enthusiasm
for spending large amounts of money for basically what I've bought
before (be it software or hardware; having spent $500 for my
first printer in 1982, and it was lousy, I can't imagine buying
a printer for more than a few tens of dollars used at this point).
How about a tithe on something? Hardware would be an obvious choice.
Buy a new system, and send ten percent of it to Debian or wherever.
Or maybe even a smaller percentage. If you have the money to spend,
then a small percentage is just an incremental increase. And it
works for people with less money. I just spent $150 for a used
computer yesterday, and while most would seemingly scoff at it,
it's considerably better than anything I've ever had. Fifteen dollars
may not be much for Debian or some similar project, yet it does
relfect how much I was willing to spend on a computer to run Linux.
For that matter, tithing what you spend on Linux books might add
a fair amount to the coffers. A lot of those books can be quite
expensive at this point.
Maybe it doesn't really matter how or how much. Maybe it's just
important to bring the issue into the public eye, on a regular
basis. Your post helped to do that.

Thanks for the info.
I tried the Creative's driver a couple of months ago - it was fine... (just
as the module from the 2.4.x kernel). The main reason why I asked the
question was the curiosity (it's not as if I had no other options - as far
as I know there are 3 types of drivers available for SBlive: Creative's
own, the one that comes with the kernel and the Alsa package)
Anyway, cheers!

Subject: CD Burning/SCSI emulation with RH 7.1
Hello,
I used to have RH 7.0 running the 2.2 kernel, and then I upgraded to 7.1
with the 2.4 kernel. Both of my CD drives (IDEs) were working under
/dev/scd0 (the reader 0,0,0) and /dev/scd1 (the burner 0,1,0). After
the upgrade, kudzu found my CD-ROM drive for some reason and added it to
/etc/hosts even though it was already set under /dev/scd0. It is no
longer recognized as being SCSI. My CD burner was left at /dev/scd1 and
is still recognized as a SCSI device, but is now at 0,0,0. cdrecord's
scanbus option no longer can detect my reader so I can't make disc
copies as easily as I could before. What should I do?
Adios,
Pablo

Fileserver, client, a few intresting drivers & a piece of software that can
play back the 'w64' & 'dms' files*. On the desk linux is also at the core
of the UI & comm's side of things. I'd be guessing at what the exact
tranfer system is but it's something like NFS over SCSI.
* file discriptions:
'w64' is the audio data (like a 64 channel wav file)
'dms' hold the desks state (were the sliders are, what the eq is etc.. )
