Timothy Bolz wrote: I've read that everyone on the planet could have their own IP address with IP6. IPv6 uses a 128 bit address. 128 bits allows 340282366920938463463374607431768211456 different addresses. There are only slightly more than 60 people on earth today, so each person could have more than 1e28 IP addresses. This morning on another mailing list, I speculated that as soon as we have microscopic computers, 1e28 IP addresses apiece won't seem like that many. Maybe someday your IP address will be your phone number all rolled up into one. An IP address is needed for each network interface of each computer, not for each person. For example, my laptop has both a wireless Ethernet card and a (wired) Ethernet interface, so it has two IP addresses. -- Bob Miller Kbob kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The source is published at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/djbdns-1.05.tar.gz; are there use restrictions that violate the Open Source Definition? I would call it Closed Binary. It can't be redistributed in binary form if it does not operate exactly as it was designed to. So to distribute it in binary form, linux/unix distributions would have to use /service, and /service can't be a symlink. At least that's my understanding of the issue. I probably should have said Unfree Software; i was thinking both of this restriction, and on the restrictions against distribution with downstream source modifications. -- Christos anesti ek nekron Thanato thanaton patisas; Kai tis en tis mnimasi Zoin charisamenos!

[EUG-LUG:826] My own, personal, IP
Maybe someday your IP address will be your phone number all rolled up into one. An IP address is needed for each network interface of each computer, not for each person. For example, my laptop has both a wireless Ethernet card and a (wired) Ethernet interface, so it has two IP addresses. You could have a server similar to a DNS where you query it with someone's personal IP and then the spits back the IP of the machine that they are actively working on. Which would change as you moved around. I guess it would basically be an extension of the instant messaging craze. It would also be similar to a universal phone number, which some telco's offer. Where when someone calls that number it gets forwarded around (home, work, cell etc..) until you pick up.

[EUG-LUG:828] Matrox G450 DualHead Drivers
** This message was sent from the EUGLUG message board. Since ** ** the person who submitted this question may not be on the ** ** mailing list, please reply directly or on the message board: ** **http://www.euglug.org/board.phtml?id=77 ** I am looking for some help on installing a driver for a Matrox G450 DualHead video card. I have just installed Libranet v1.9.0. This is my first experience with Linux and I am command line challenged. I have two monitors and want to get them both operating in Linux. I live in Cottage Grove and would be willing to pick someone up in Eugene and drive them down here to help with this. Thank You John
[EUG-LUG:829] Re: Matrox G450 DualHead Drivers
Hi John, Possibly someone on our email list can help you. See our webpage for details on how to sign up [1]. I personally have this card and have linux with it working on my desktop at work. I can answer some questions and guide you thru the process if you need help. The order of things needed are: 1) Get the latest linux kernel and compile that with DRI and AGPGART support. I can fill you in more on this later. [2] 2) Get the latest version of X (v 4.0.3) and follow the instructions there on getting that working. [3] 3) Install the latest linux drivers from matrox.com. I can send you also my X configuration file to get dual head working. [4] Matrox.com also has good forums to help folks out too. -Rob Webmaster for EUGLUG Resources: [1] http://www.euglug.org/ [2] ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/ [3] http://www.xfree86.org/ [4] http://www.matrox.com/ On 20010430.1605, John said ...
