Installfest: Reminder!

1999-10-14 Thread Yoni Elhanani

Hello.
Besides being a reply to an email,
I wanted to remind you all to come to the installfest.

 
 I would like to visit your installfest this friday, but have no idea
 about exact place and time. 

This friday (15th), Dizengoff Center, 9:00-14:00, In front of the
burgler king.

 I didn't see any information in the list
 since the announsment about postponing.

So you did see an announcement.

 Maybe you should have some
 kind of official add for the people that don't have personal contacts
 with the list's keepers.

We have advertised in many places,
and we expect a high number of people to come.

 Or we are not wanted ?

Ofcourse you are very wanted.
The reason we hold installfests is that people who don't have techie
friends can install linux. :-)

I Hope I'll see you there,
Yoni. :-)

Modem's and video cards for linux

1999-10-14 Thread Micha Feigin

i am planning on buying a new computer soon, which is supposed to run
mainly on linux (Debian). The problem is, no sales person seems to know
what hardware is windows dependent and what not.
As far as i know the main problem is with modems and video cards.
How can i recognise one that will work under linux.
Any recomendations for video and modems?
The only modem they could offer me which is shure to work is US robotics
which is a bit expensive.
The video card i was offered (since I static image handling mainly, and
not video), is ATI xpert 8 meg AGP, How is it for linux?
Also, should there be any problem with sound cards, if so, how do I
recognise one that will work.
(I wasn't shure if the fact that designed for windows doesn't appear on
the box is enough)
Thanx

ATIs are pretty well supported. Just make sure you have a fairly
recent X server, because some chipsetes (RagePro specifically)
need that.

My experience with ATIs are that they are good and inexpensive,
although they don't deliver the ultimate gaming experience.

Oh and - as they say, "become new on the computer" :-)

 I've heard it works, but I haven't a clue about how well it works.

It does, and does it very well. I dont know about ATI's support etc' but
the XFree X-server for Xpert, Mach64 chipset (I heared there are newer
chipsets today(?)), is, on my experience, stable. (my rpm X-Server:
XFree86-Mach64-3.3.3.1-52)

 
  Also, should there be any problem with sound cards, if so, how do I
  recognise one that will work.
 
 Almost all will - try to avoid the Sound Blaster Live, and you should be
 OK.


Be careful! there are local cards here which are using unsupported
chipsets (currently) like Aurel Vortex A3D - on Octav sound cards (some
of Octav cards, at least, use it).
About Creative - SB16, 64 and I'm almost sure that SB128 too, will all
perform the necessary beeps (and ofcourse more than that - like MP3
playing).
There are other very chip no-name cards in our market that I would have
checked carefully before buying.

It is my opinion that it did not get the necessary publication, at least not

Like the one who sent the previous post I thought that it was canceled.

Does anyone know if there is a utility available to continue
downloading a large .tar file after losing the ppp connection and
reconnecting ? I'm using Netscape 5.1 - RedHat 6.0.

BTW - is there an Israel mirror for StarOffice 5.1 ??
