Re: [linux-delhi] Linux is Obsolete: Long live the Hurd
- Original Message - From: Sundeep Holani [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, - Original Message - From: "Sanjeev Gupta" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which is probably because an applications guy is more interested in bash, than he's in Linux. In a world where innovation brings progress, you dont want to stop new stuff just because it makes no difference at your level. Some day it just might. Moved from 200 MHz to 466 MHz recently, and looking at the performance difference it has made on my console, i'm regretting the 40,000 bucks. Doesnt mean that i'd want em to stop fighting the GHz race. Sure. I recently bought a machine, and bought a 433 Celeron. I figure, I am doing nothing more with it than I was with a 486DX2. Still, I agree that others need PIII's. He's talking sense, IMHO.. except that he's pushing minix as the masthead of the micro kernel architecture. The debate concerning Monolithic Vs. Micro kernel is interesting, with availability and faster development being the only pros Linus could offer over the Microkernel architecture. Tanenbaum sounds pathetic defending minix, though. And, i know /nothing/ about minix whatsoever, and am basing my opinion on what the rest of the world says about minix. OK, so minix is the wrong example, after all, it _is_ 10 years old. My point was that I object to "micrkernel" being the salvation of OSs, as I often hear from recently converted guys (Babu - dig). Debian/Gnu/Hurd, as well as Debian/Gnu/Linux. However, is the Hurd better? I dont think so. It is designed to solve a different class of problems. It is designed to implement the "classroom" method of OS design. I disagree, depending on whether my understanding of that phrase is the same as yours. It is, I was trying to be sarcastic. Linux /is/ a hack, HURD is researched theory being put into practice. So if perfectionism is what you mean by the class-room method of OS design, i want it. And even though its cost 8 years too many... wont hurt not to write HURD off just yet. In theory, the HURD /design/ is better as Linus acknowledges often, so what is any body's problem if they manage to iron out the performance overheads, and figure out how they are going to manage the complications in the source code, both algorithmic( as in the controversial 'ugly' signal/message queues), and administrative (as in effectively managing the CVS tree). 8 years is not the problem, the issue I have is that I want to see an implementation, NOW!!! I ahve waited long enough, dammit! RMS is right in wanting the Linux community to give credit to GNU, as debian does. I disagree. Maybe i should know better, but i have never seen RMS give Linux the credit it deserves for GNU's success. Point. And the way GNU's following the upside down model of development, which i only learnt from babu, and the way the HURD kernel gets delayed like no winduhs ever did, i wonder what GNU would be doing if it hadnt Linux. Sure isnt much fun releasing a GNU software for SCO or Solaris. And it doesnt hurt to have a GNU/Linux, so long as RMS doesnt atleast mind giving Linux its due credit. And besides, is everything GPL'ed going to be branded GNU? Did Raju write a GNU/Lynx-HOWTO ?? Dont we give GNU its due credit when we use 'g'cc and 'g'db and 'g'awk and the whole lot of 'g' things? See, we agree. The hurd will be great, it will be manna from heaven, the angels will sing, but the crucial word is _will_. PS: Is the list lying low, or is it just me?
[linux-delhi] Linux is Obsolete: Long live the Hurd
Folks, This is meant to provoke a discussion, re: Babu's report yesterday on Hurd. As such, assume I am a Linux fanatic who hates Hurd. 1New Mach Microkernel. HA!!!. I am not a CS graduate, but I clearly remember working on OS implementations of Mach Microkernels in the late eighties, probably 1988/89. To an applications guy, this felt no different from any other Unix OS. The Mach itself is not new, although newer, improved versions may be available. I believe NeXT used a Mach microkernel (1989?) 2Monolithic vs Microkernel. I can say a lot, none of which has much value, never having done kernel development myself. I leave you to: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/appa.html The complete text of the "war" between Linus and Tanenbaum on Micro vs Monolithic. For those who came in late, Tanenbaum is the "God" of OS design, Networks, etc. Linus is a guy who works for Transmeta, but did not have a job at that time. And what time was it? 1992. Yes, 1992. Read the debate. Please. If you need a shorter text, with only the "relevent" parts in: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~perrone/oldsite/feud.html The Hurd is good, and as a debian guy, I am working towards it. Soon, Debian will offer Debian/Gnu/Hurd, as well as Debian/Gnu/Linux. However, is the Hurd better? I dont think so. It is designed to solve a different class of problems. It is designed to implement the "classroom" method of OS design. It is designed to give us a choice. Ultimately, I think there is no best. RMS is right in wanting the Linux community to give credit to GNU, as debian does. On most other issues he raises, I personally find him to extreme for my taste. I am indebted to him for providing the (lonely) leadership during the first dozen years of the FSF. It however does him no credit if I cannot disagree with him. Feel free to flame. To repeat, it does our leaders no credit to have sheep as followers. -- Ghane

[linux-delhi] Debian Added to Compaq Test Drive Program
The Compaq Testdrive program has recently added Debian's frozen GNU/Linux distribution, potato (aka, Debian 2.2) to the list of systems available for use. Compaq is now making testdrives available via the Internet for the Open Source community. This is a program that lets users world-wide get a shell account, free of charge, for development and testing purposes. By registering for a shell account at http://www.testdrive.compaq.com developers can evaluate the Debian distributions running on Compaq AlphaServers and ProLiant Servers. Current Debian systems are: AlphaServer DS20 (ev6), AlphaServer XP1000a(ev6.7), and ProLiant 5500 (x86 PIII). All systems have at least two (2) gigs of ram and as much as 100 gigs of "/home" storage courtesy of a network file system. The AlphaServers have the latest Compaq optimized FORTRAN compilers as well as the GNU tools installed. These machines provide an excellent means for interested parties to try out the Debian distribution. In addition, they provide valuable uptime and stability statistics on newer hardware that can be used to isolate and correct potential problems on new architectures. These machines should not be used for benchmarking purposes as at any given time there are numerous users working on them. Debian whishes to thank all of the contributors of the system, especially Michael Waite (Compaq), and David Huggins-Daines, Christian Meder, and Christopher C. Chimelis (all of Debian) for their hard work in configuring and administering these resources. About Debian: The Debian project is an organization of many users who volunteer their time and effort. It's tasks include maintaining and updating Debian GNU/Linux which is a free distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system, and the development of the Debian GNU/Hurd operating system. Contact information: For more information about the Compaq Testdrive program, please visit the homepage at http://www.testdrive.compaq.com For further information, please send mail to the Debian Press Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit the Debian homepage at http://www.debian.org

I bought one in US SG last Oct for $650. 650 for the card? that sounds too high, or was it a typo? as i said in my earlier email, i thought a 486 linunx box router would be 15k rupees plus a cable which is rs232 serial on one side and v.35 on the other; this one costs 2k rupees. the modem (tellabs or rad) is provided by vsnl. Modem (actually a Rate Convertor or so) will be provided by ISP. I am not aware of a V.35 - RS.232 cable, as I see it, this will have to have active components, the V.35 being sync, and RS/232 being async. I may be wrong here ... i may be wrong! maybe you need a cable which is v.35 on one side and something else on the other? or maybe it's best to have a machine with two ethernet cards (much less expensive than 650$) and plug in the v.35 cable into the ethernet port of one, and use the other card for the internal lan. ... but here I am not. This gets worse. A V.35 - 10baseT will not be a cable, but a box. It has to do protocol conversions at multiple levels. Much like a EtherNet - Print Server. i am out of my depth here. ghane help!

Chai and snacks courtsy the guys who don't know we are going to ask for beer. We need to do something about Envision. There is a 200-seater that we have to fill at DoE, and Troika has a 1L budget.

Seating for 20-odd, and they will lend a couple of (networked) PCs which we can format/reformat. We can hit them for a projector, food, drink, and babes, later ;-). Momentum is a 6 year old company, which has been selling Linux Solutions quietly for around a year. About 40 clients. Very quiet. Does hardware (PCs/Sun), MCSP, sells software, now doing Java stuff.

Re: [linux-delhi] Upgrade to RH 6.1 remotely
Raju, I have done this with a Debian box. The problem is at the moment that telnetd (or equiv) is replaced. You will lose your connection. If all goes well, the new telnetd starts, and you can login again and see what is going on. Estimate time that the upgrade will take. Add 30 mins to it. put in an `at' job to reboot the machine after that much time. Look at the dependancies. If libc and friends are not being upgraded,, first upgrade the network demons. _Then_ run your upgrade scripts as you wish.

[linux-delhi] COMPAQ DROPS ALPHA NT DEVELOPMENT
In a stunning move, Compaq recently gave the pink slip to over 100 developers working in the Redmond labs. These people worked on porting NT to the Alpha platform. This means Compaq basically stopped support for NT on Alpha, something that is hard to believe. It looks like Compaq is going to focus on Linux, Tru64 Unix, and Open VMS for the Alpha platform. This creates a problem for MS. What are they going to do with the hundreds of Alpha boxes they are using to beta test 64-bit versions of Win2K? It looks like a small team is being requested to stay on until the completion of Service Pack 6 for Windows NT 4.0. The reason for the pull-out is likely that there is a low percentage of NT-on-Alpha users. Sunbelt Software's market analysis estimates that it is no more than 5-7% of the total NT users, and mainly a high-end niche product. It was clear that Microsoft did not expect NT on Alpha to make them a lot of money, but that it would allow them to show off NT on a large architecture such as Microsoft's Scalability Day. With the release of the new 8-way Intel based servers this might not be such a big issue anymore. We will keep you up to date on the developments. Background and history at Win NT Magazine.

Everyone else loves ed because it's ED! "Ed is the standard text editor." And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed -rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs Of course, on the system *I* administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!! "Ed is the standard text editor." Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed: golem ed ? help ? ? ? quit ? exit ? bye ? hello? ? eat flaming death ? ^C ? ^C ? ^D ? --- Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity. "Ed is the standard text editor." Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all. ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!! When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!! TEXT EDITOR. When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard. Ed is for those who can *remember* what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION.
