So it will be a working box. As such the administrative setup should be done
properly and security is of importance.
The usual Mandrake and/or RedHat distros are "Jacks of all trades" and can be
a pain to setup in such enviroment.
Look for distros which from start are tuned to perform as servers, they have
less applications with bells and whistles but work better.
If you believe that easly installed distro will save you the "gulag" later -
just try. (let us know the results in three month time)

Don't underestimate the probability of SCSI bus problems. I've got a
Tecmar NS8 unit, and although it's fine on an Initio SCSI adapter, if I
hook it up to a Symbios adapter that also hosts an Iomega Zip drive, the
tape drive experiences errors when reading from the tape drive (but not
when writing to it). Remove the Iomega Zip drive or swap in the Initio
adapter (even with the Zip drive) and all's well again. Remember: SCSI
is part voodoo.
If you can test the thing under some other OS, you may get a better idea
of whether this is a software error or a hardware/firmware problem. My
bet is the latter, though.

I am looking for the command that will help me compare two directory

I just did a file copy to an NFS drive and I want to make sure that I
got everything.
I used
cp -axv /dev /mnt/vol00
cp -axv /bin /mnt/vol00
cp -axv/usr /mnt/vol00

Doing some sampling, it appears that everything copied okay.
What I am looking for is the equivalent to this

Hello,
I'm looking for the screen saver that looks something like this:

Anybody seen anything like that? To be honest I don't
know where to find any screen savers for Linux (not actaully to save the

You need to install the RPM packages of the listed files. Your distibution CD
my have the libodbc and libodbcinst rpm's. If not, search the web for them.
You do not need a Java Runtime if you have the JRE installed from
blackdown (www.blackdown.org).
Good luck.

Well, sercurity isnt really a problem because I have a hardware firewall
(the Linksys thing) and all of the LAN people are my friends, so the only
thing they would do is change my ICQ handle to !SuperMasturbator!, which
BTW, updates it automatically in everybody's contact list, including my
girlfriend...
I also kinda want it to not be easy, because then I will learn more.
The CS program comes with its own server setup, so that shouldnt be a
problem.

Not quite - the sequence (-1,1,-1,1,...) is bounded, but doesn't
have a limit. Want every Cauchy sequence to converge.

Not too many open sets, yes (compactness is a topological property).
But completeness (enough points, as you say) and local compactness
are quite related in this context. Nice.

I have no idea what that means.

Locally compact normed linear space (locally compact in the norm
induced topology, that is) = finite dimensional. But be careful,
there are two non-equivalent definitions of locally compact which
are standard.

I'm shocked. I see that you used to know what many of these things
mean. Quite well, I'm sure, if you still remember them well enough
(after 20 years, as you say) to string related items together as you
did. So much for my clever example. :)

I have heard that question so many times, I can't help but consider
it reasonable, coming from a user with only MS Win experience. I
usually offer the "DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO" to begin with, explaining
that they can become functional in Linux faster if they educate
themselves to think about things a bit differently. As a former
dos user with only "high-level" programming experience, it was
daunting to begin with (switching to Linux, that is). *nix is
now the only environment in which I can work - MS Win seems like
a novelty, er a toy for my kids. But one must read and learn,
I agree fully.

Agreed. Good point. But when we build from scratch, we *always*
do this.

Perhaps I should read the partitioning how to.
Really, we advise as we do because having a big / partition is bad
for anyone who actually intends to use Linux. But keeping it
relatively simple is good, too (to begin with), for folks who are
completely unfamiliar with Linux. When they change and wipe out
their MS Win partition, they can change the partition scheme. :)

Other than the definition of Banach space, it's the only one I can
think of. I can think of many sufficient conditions, but not so
many that are necessary.

Ah - good point. I use Red Hat, but I have been for a long time
and know well how to make it "behave" to meet my needs. I still
like a smooth install followed by tuning configurations of apps
which work "out of the box", and turning unneeded services off!!

Date: 11 Dec 2000 06:31:25 GMT
Hi,
Anyway, here it goes :
I usually use ADSL as my Internet connection, but the connection is
not always stable to say the least, so it would be nice to have a
dialup connection as backup. Although slow, it will still enable me
to keep in contact with the outside world :)
Now, since I use a broadband router to connect to the ADSL service
so that my brother and I can share the ADSL connection just to save
some bucks, and we both have to setup our machines so that when boot
up, our machines can contact the router's builtin DHCP server to get
an IP address assigned.
When I Kppp program, everything seems to be working
except when it connects and launch pppd, the modem just disconnects.
I am thinking that maybe I need to change some routings, but I have
no idea how to do that.
Could you give me some detailed instructions as what I should to fix
the problem ?

A lot depends on the specific makes and models of the hardware you're
talking about, as some manufacturers are much more third-party-friendly
with their information (and hence end up being better supported under
Linux and other non-mainstream OSes).
>Is that asking too much ?
Your question is far too general. When using any operating system
(including those produced by Microsoft), you need to look at things
like hardware support and configuration on a case-by-case basis (or
you're likely to get burned somewhere).
