Re: [ilugd] Visual free and df
To elaborate -- I have about 10 servers that send me mail every morning on their current status. The status includes disk and memory usage (currently df and free). At the moment I'm reading both outputs to figure out if the server is reaching its limits, but it would be nice if I could just glance at the mail and figure out how much disk and memory is being used without having to read the individual figures. Reading 100 numbers and correlating them early every morning is no fun, I can assure you :) How *visual* do you want the output to be ? If you want a pie chart like the GUI apps show, I can't think of any console based app that does that. If you only want the numbers, then why not just take the df -h (and free -m) output and use a couple of awk's and greps on it ? -- Sharninder ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] RMS Says Cloud Computing Is Trap
Well, I have been waiting to see the FOSS response to this for a while now. It is an interesting problem to solve. Of course, just calling it a trap doesn't suffice. You have to provide an alternative. http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/ FYI: redhat is also working on some cloud computing projects of their own. I don't have a link with me right now, though. It is a very interesting technology which will obviously change the way many applications can work. It challenges the whole notion of how computing is done today. The only response to it from a FOSS POV is to provide an alternate business model. Something similar to how the SETI project(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volunteer_computing), or even Tor works. While I agree with the points RMS is making, I don't really agree with the way he has put them. Cloud computing is the next frontier and I'm not saying this because everyone else is saying. I'm saying this because as a user all I care about is my data and ofcourse my freedom to use it anywhere. Cloud computing gives me that. Most vendors take care of keeping backups etc also so that's one more thing off my plate as a user. It certainly is promising. The only thing the user needs to be aware of is data lock-in and then decide on the service he/she uses. Like someone else on this thread said, Gmail has all my emails, but atleast I have an option of using pop/imap to get them back, even if gmail actually makes a second copy of all emails and keeps them on their servers somewhere, I've still got my data back. Privacy is a touchy subject but do you really think normal guys who DO NOT hang out on slashdot care about having their email stored on gmail or not ? I remember the hue and cry that was made when gmail launched and google decided to display advertisements based on the content of the emails. And now those very people are all using gmail. Perhaps RMS can afford to have highly available, always backed up email/data available to him, but the general public cannot, and that is where cloud computing is supposed to help. -- Sharninder http://nomadicrider.com ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

You really think Google cares about architectural faults in the browser ? They're a commercial company and will only care as long as they profit. The only reason for releasing a browser competing with an opensource product was so that they have control over it. Google makes its money from webapps and a browser is the only piece of the puzzle they didn't control, and so it makes sense for them to invest in this domain instead of continuing to support another opensource effort, since they will never be able to give complete direction to that effort. -- Sharninder -- http://nomadicrider.com/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] which flavour of linux to choose
(a) Have someone from Redhat give you a copy. 1. Is it legal for someone to distribute a Redhat Enterprise Linux copy that he bought from Redhat without any Redhat agreement or restrictions? If yes, than again I get back to my old question which is how will he get the distro. RHEL can be distributed to anyone and it is legal. Redhat will provide support only if you buy a support package from them, which is how they earn money, but its perfectly legal to distribute RHEL. 2. Is it legal for someone from Redhat(assuming he has the access to the distro) to distribute it for free without any Redhat agreement or restrictions(in short as FOSS) I'm sure employees distributing unreleased version of redhat would land in some trouble, but distributing released versions shouldn't be a problem. Again, I don't know the contents of the employement agreement at Redhat so I'm just guessing this. (b) Use CentOS Acceptable. Yet, still not RHEL! Yes, its not RHEL, but CentOS is based on the corresponding RHEL and should be binary compatible. Atleast that's what they claim. CentOS takes an RHEL copy and removes mentions of the company's name and repackages the distribution. -- Sharninder http://nomadicrider.com/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] convert ?
the question is: the original partial file is a wget download - how can you continue that download with torrent? I think what Mehul is trying to say is that if the filename that the torrent client creates is exactly the same as the file that the user had been downloading with wget, then most torrent clients will take that as a base and assume that the data already 'in' the file has been downloaded in a previous session and continue downloading the rest of the data. The gnome built-in torrent client does check the file for data already downloaded while resuming a session, so Mehul's suggestion just might work. I've never written a torrent client myself to understand the protocol well enough, though. -- Sharninder ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] RHCE - worth spending 25000/- ?
... And whoever gave you the impression that most people who apply for RHCE clear it ?? RHCE has one of the lowest passing rates (Red Hat, I think, claims a pass rate of 40%), and one of the very few which actually tests your practical skills, and for a change, not your rote skills. [1] I guess, I should have mentioned that those were my personal views. What I meant was that passing RHCE does'nt add as much value to your resume as professional degrees do. If tomorrow an RHCE and, say, en engineer or an MCA are appearing for the same sys admin interview, I think the professionals would be preferred for the position anytime. Anyways, I don't think that practicalt skills, like setting up apache on a system are of much value anyway. Unless, you know what each and every option in the config file does and this is what is lacking in most RHCEs passing out of mediocre institutes. -- Sharninder ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Re: [ilugd] Re: Re: Re: Re: A Central CD vendor found--but there is a catch
1. Who posts to bazee at what frequency? 2. Who delivers the product? 3. Where from does one get CDs to sell them? 4. How is that better than ILUGD CD list? Well, staying in Calcutta and with an extremely taxing job, I can't really coordinate with ilugd for this even though I would love to be of help to the community. Baazee is basically an online auction site and *almost* a total copy of ebay. Lots of shopkeepers and other ppl sell through baazee with a option which they provide called quick buy. Items under quick buy are not on auction and they can be bought by directly from the seller by paying the requested price. The seller can post the number of items he wants to put on sale and also the time for which the auction will stay open. Once closed the item can again be posted. It does'nt take too much time to do that. Its better than the CD mailing list cause the net in general seems to have a wider audience and reach. Say, as a resident of bangalore, I would not really be inclined to join a mailing list by ilugd. Though, I know many people do join many mailing lists at a time, like I am subscribed to lists from 10 cities right now. But baazee.com, IMO, would cater to broader audience. I know RHCEs who don't have a clue what mailing lists are ? But they do know about baazee.com. I think we are trying to solve a different problem here. Efficient duplication and distribution of CDs. That involves a LUG member to just provide the master CDs and let the CD distributer handle the rest including duplication(which B T W involves significant time and effort) Yes, I think rather than the distribution, the actual task of CD replication and collection from various sources is the main task and this is what should be taken care of first. I would suggest, that this be done in the monthly meetings. We can make a list and the number of CDs that would be sold out in a particular month and ask volunteers to bring in 3-4 copies of the distros which they can burn and bring from their own copies and then next month distribute the money again to the members whose items have been sold on baazee. I hope I was able to make myself clear :) Basically, this way the users get their money for duplicating the CDs and ilugd gets a name for distributing those CDs in the first place.

[ilugd] [Slightly OT] Linux IDEs
HI All, I have been trying to get myself to use one of the many IDEs available on Linux and have mostly brought down my choices to between RHIDE/Anjuta/Kdevelop. I have'nt yet been able to give RHIDE a shot because of certain dependency problems but i am an old TurboC/C++ IDE fan and like its clean interface anyday to any of the GUI editors so i will give it a shot sometime soon. Anyways, thats a different story altogether. Now, as far as GUI IDEs are concerned, Kdevelop and Anjuta both seem pretty good. Being a Gnome fan I decided to start with Anjuta for now. The interface seems pretty nice but one thing i have always missed (and wondered wether it was really that difficult to implement !!) is the ability of the IDE to refresh the side window containing the module/function list as soon as a new function/module/variable is added to the program. I have observed that both in Kdevelop and Anjuta one has to save the project and manually refresh the modules window to make the newly added code to appear in the list. This is not the case with MSVC though and as soon as function is added it appears in the list. Why can't two of the most famous Linux IDEs do the same ? Anjuta seemed to be much easier than MSVC in all other respects expect this one little missing feature.. Well, I decided to explore this a little further and since I had the source code of Anjuta, I decided to try and implement this feature myself. Now, Since I have not written an IDE ever, for the time being i decided that i would be a start if I was able to atleast make the modules list refresh whenever the enter key was pressed ( I know this is not exactly wat we want, I forgot to save the project and then refresh .. but u get the idea basically !!). Now, combined with the ability of auto save and my own little addition to the code, I have a simple and very very very crude way to automatically refresh the module list. It's way too slow to be of any practical use but it works !! After two hours of fiddling with the code and grepping the source if I could manage to add the above feature whats stopping the developers to add this feature to the IDEs (This is for the first time i was looking at the source code of Anjuta), why can't this feature be implemented in the IDE (and properly implemeted, not my dumb implementation.)

Re: [ilugd] help for configuring sendmail on Red Hat Linux 7.1andabove
I use Mandrake 9.0. I have made two users. In one user I am using Gnome and in another one KDE. For the last few days, whenever, I switchover to Gnome, it displays a 'ximian' windows which I think is a mail server. Pl. guide. how I can configure this. Everytime I cancel it because I don't have the idea of configuring it. i never got this ximian window when i used MDK9. anyways, if what u r referring is ximian evolution then it is not an email server, but an email client, like outlook express and configuring it is also as simple (or difficult ... depends) as oputlook.

Re: [ilugd] Memory management
let me know the reasons for this. I can send more details of the things that I did if u want. the reason is that linux has better memory caching than windows. When u start the same app again on linux it would load up from the cache and take less time to load. This is not the case with windows.
