También hay una pequeña diferencia entre los dos: $(comando) le pasa los caracteres \ al comando, mientras que `comando` interpreta un \ como caracter de escape: Command Substitution Command substitution allows the output of a command to replace the command name. There are two forms: $(command) or `command` Bash performs the expansion by executing command and replacing the command substitution with the standard out put of the command, with any trailing newlines deleted. Embedded newlines are not deleted, but they may be removed during word splitting. The command substitution $(cat file) can be replaced by the equivalent but faster $( file). When the old-style backquote form of substitution is used, backslash retains its literal meaning except when followed by $, `, or \. The first backquote not preceded by a backslash terminates the command substitution. When using the $(command) form, all characters between the parenthe ses make up the command; none are treated specially. También me parece mas fácil de recordar $(comando) por ser mas parecido a $variable Jaime

Re: PDF (Problema con fuentes tipo 1)
Danito wrote:
Me contesto a mi mismoPara poder escribir
acentos y ñs utilizaba el paquete t1enc en vez del paquete inputenc con la
opción latin1. Este paquete utiliza las fuentes european computer modern fonts
en vez de las computer modern fonts. No existe una copia en Type1 de estas
fuentes, por eso el pdflatex las convertía a Type3.
Exactamente. Ya leí tu fichero .log y me preparaba a responderte, cuando
ví tu mensaje diciendo que ya lo has descubierto. De todas formas te
aclaro lo siguiente:
Hay dos problemas diferentes; uno es permitir que tu fichero fuente
tenga caracteres con acento como ñ en vez de tener que usar \~n. Para
eso se usa \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}. Otro problema diferente es que
las reglas para enguionar (cortar palabras que no caben) que usa TeX no
funcionan con caracteres compuestos como \~n (que es realmente lo que
usas apesar de que escribas ñ).
Una solución que se propuso en una reunión que hubo en Cork, Irlanda,
hace varios años, consiste en definir una nueva fuente (European CM),
que tiene los mismos caracteres de la CM, mas otros adicionales que son
las letras con acentos. La forma como se codifican los caracteres
adicionales dentro de la nueva fuente se llama T1 encoding o Cork
encoding. Para usar esta fuente se usa el comando
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} y así las palabras con acentos también podran
ser cortadas cuando sea necesario. El problema, como has dicho, es que
no existe versión libre de esta fuente en formato Type1 (no confundir el
significado de Type1 en PostScript, con T1 en LaTeX); existe una versión
comercial hecha por Bakoma.
Pregunta: ¿Como se puede hacer un tipo Type 1 a partir de un mf?, porque lei
por algún sitio que es posible.
Dicen que es posible, porque a primera vista mf define vectorialmente
los glyphs (si alguine sabe la traducción de glyph, por favor dígame),
pero los expertos en fonts en la lista pdftex me han explicado que el
problema es mas complicado de lo que parece. Es que para que funcione
bien en postscript, el perfil de cada caracter debe definirse como un
camino simple y cerrado; lo que hace MetaFont es definir pequeños trozos
en forma desordenada, que dan un buen aspecto visual pero no le permiten
al postscript identificar un camino cerrado simple. Es necesario hacer
algunas modificaciones manualmente.
Por el momento lo que yo hago es no usar fuentes ECM sino CM; después
tengo que ver con cuidado el fichero .log y poner unos \- en las
palabras con acentos que TeX no haya logrado cortar.
Saludos,
Jaime

Re: RESUMEN PDF
Con las sugerencias ha quedado mucho más elegante este sucedáneo del distiler de pdf. Ahora no necesita el archivo temporal. Como bien apuntó Jaime, ps2pdf es un script que llama a gs. Así que copio la llamada que hace a gs con todos los parámetros. La sustituyo en el filtro ps600-filter en el apartado ps. Y nos queda un filtro igualito al postcript pero con los papeles cambiados. Es decir, si es pdf, no hace nada, si es ps lo convierte a pdf. Las secciones postcript y pdf, que son las únicas que cambian, quedan así. Le he llamado pdf-filter. # PostScript 0 %! fpipe /usr/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=- -c save pop -f $FILE 0 \004%! fpipe /usr/bin/gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=- -c save pop -f $FILE # PDF 0 %PDFcat Si es PDF ejecuta el comando cat. Vamos, que lo pasa sin tocar. Desde aquí se podría escribir en archivo modificando la opción -sOutputFile=/tmp/archivo.pdf He preferido mantenerlo separado por si algún día tengo una impresora que entienda pdf. Entonces el pequeño script bash llamado /etc/magicfilter/mifiltro para grabar en disco duro queda así #!/bin/bash cat|/etc/magicfilter/pdf-filter/tmp/archivo.pdf Es fenomenal, pues con las sugerencias queda muy simple a la par que elegante ;-) Saludos K-charro PD: Ahora ya tenemos destiladora, ¿para cuando la freebeer?

woody-potato, woody-slink, potato-slink?
Out of sheerest curiosity, since I'm not having any problems with woody beyond the X/gpm mouse grabbing and X-fb corruption, is there a way to downgrade from woody to potato, from woody to slink, and from potato to slink? I would assume a forced apt-get dist-upgrade with appropriate lines in sources.list would do the trick, but I've no desire to install and upgrade just to test.

Compaq ProLiant ML350
Last Friday I asked this question to little avail. I don't mean to be redundant, but in the fear that it was deleted in the barrage of weekend mail by the one person who knows the answer, I'm posting this again. I have a new Compaq ProLiant ML350 server. It has a Compaq Smart Array 431 Raid Controller. It also has a NC3123 Fast Ethernet NIC PCI 10/100 Wake on LAN card. Is there any hope for installing Debian on this? The default 2.1 install disks hang while trying to reset the SCSI. The TECRA boot disks detect no drive at all. I have installed Debian several times, but always on fairly standard hardware. I think I will be able to follow instructions to do this if it is possible. Specifically, I have heard people say things like: You need to compile support for Compaq Smart Array controllers into your kernel. I am always perplexed by this. How do I compile a kernel if I don't have Debian installed yet? Do I compile the kernel on another Debian machine? If I do so, how do I get that kernel onto the install disks and ready to install?

If you don't want to purge samba, yet still have those ports closed,
you could do: (replacing ppp0 for whatever you have)
ipchains=$(which ipchains)
${ipchains} -A output -p tcp --sport 137:139 -i ppp0 -j DENY -l
${ipchains} -A output -p udp --sport 137:139 -i ppp0 -j DENY -l

${ipchains} -A input -p udp --dport 137:139 -i ppp0 -j DENY -l
This also causes log entries to be generated upon violation of this
rule. (-l)
For more infos, see:
ipchains (8) - IP firewall administration
ipchains-restore (8) - restore IP firewall chains from stdin
ipchains-save (8)- save IP firewall chains to stdout
or
ipfwadm (8) - IP firewall and accounting administration
ipfwadm-wrapper (8) - IP firewall administration
ipfwadm.real (8) - IP firewall and accounting administration
This surely ain't the only way to do it, but it is one way of doing it.
The better / more secure approach would be to deny all ports and to then
selectively open up specific ports according to your needs.

pgp_encryptself in Mutt 1.2i and pgp5
Dear list, since I have upgraded Mutt to 1.2i, I get an error when Mutt reads the .muttrc on the command: set pgp_encryptself. If I comment it out, the error disappears but, surprise, I am no longer able to read my own messages in sent-items. I have not found a new syntax for this command in the Manual.

Re: Compaq ProLiant ML350
Hello A. I sent this reply to your posting when you first posted it, but forgot to change the reply to to the list (keep doing that on this list), so I'll post it again in case it might help. I've set up a few Compaq Smart Array controllers and the most recent was a 431 on an ML350 - but only for NT. The thing is though, that you need to configure the controller before you install the OS because the controller presents the OS with logical drives. IIRC you can configure the controller/drives at boot up via a rom option. There is an option for Compaq Smart Array support when compiling kernels, so you may need to compile a kernel with this support. There seems to be a catch-22 situation here though - you compile a kernel with Smart Array support, but it's got to sit on a drive that needs Smart Array support to be accessed. Presumably though, if the ntloader, which I doubt has special Smart Array support, can be found off the array, there's no reason why a linux loader couldn't be used instead. There's probably a HOWTO for this somewhere, and I think there'll probably be a section in the general Installation HOWTO about installing to SCSI disks - the way round the catch-22 situation - needing controller support to read drives to get the controller support - will probably be explained there. I would consider installing the Compaq system partition and utilities - it's independent of the OS. HTH LeeE A. Scott White wrote: I have a new Compaq ProLiant ML350 server.

Is there some benefit to the listserv operating this way (replies go to the original author rather than the list). I, personally, find it annoying, but maybe there's some good reason that I simply cannot see. If there isn't, I wonder what it would take to make the list operate like most other lists. Sorry for the rant. Anyway... /UNRELATED-GRIPE Try the potato (Debian 2.2) boot disks instead. potato is frozen right now but it's quite stable and has lots of things you'll want (or even need) on your server anyway. I know Compaq Smart Array support is available in the latest 2.2.x kernels. I have tried this now. The 2.2 install disks tell me there is no hard drive on the machine. I looked at the LILO help screen F6 but the Compaq Smart Array support options are not listed. Is Compaq Smart Array support included in the default kernel for the 2.2 disks? I suppose I will have to compile a 2.2.15 kernel with Compaq Smart Array support on another of my Debian machines and create install floppies out of it. A few questions: 1. What other options are necessary for an install floppy kernel? 2. Can I just compile the kernel and put it on the new install disks, or do I need to create an entirely new set of floppies? 3. If I need to create an entirely new set of floppies, how do I do so? Someone earlier mentioned the boot-floppies package. What is this? Will this help me? Thanks. A.

At that time, you could not distribute binaries of netscape, so the Debian maintainer provided an installer package. For these, you typically have to get the source or binary from the original site and the installer package will then install it conforming Debian policy and do whatever other Debian packages do (track dependencies, set up configuration files, etc.). This is not the same as a virtual package. A virtual package provides functionality that can be satisfied by several real packages. As a matter of fact, netscape provides the virtual package www-browser, but it is not the only one that does.

in /etc/gnome/default.wm if have made WM=scwm, but everytime i

GDM has a special idea about session management. Basically, there
appear to be three ways to go: GNOME -- where gnome-session handles
which window manager to start; Debian -- which runs the normal Debian X
startup scripts; Xsession -- which runs xsm (?) and skips the Xresource
settings that you get with Debian. If you want to make
scwm your default window manager for the 'puter, as root, run
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager and select scwm. If you
just want to change it for yourself (individual user), create a
.xsession file in your $HOME directory that has the lines:
#! /bin/sh
exec scwm
And then chmod +x ~/.xsession. It will work both with startx and a
display manager. Then just choose the Debian session from GDM and
everything is hunky dory.
2) can i continue to use /etc/gdm/Sessions/Gnome or do i have to
switch to Xsession?
3) anybody know how well gnome works with scwm?
Haven't heard anything that indicates scwm is GNOME compliant. So, I'm
guessing no. I've personally had best luck with icewm-gnome or sawfish
(aka sawmill) with GNOME.

Add youself to the adm group and use xconsole -file /dev/xconsole to
