RE: COM technology
As the "Linux representative" I have been asked if there is some implementation equivalent to MS COM (Component Object module). Is there ? Not really COM in Linux, but... There is a way to write objects in Java that will behave like COM objects (can be called using the VB COM interface) And some languages (Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python) can be made to use COM objects. And then again - you can try using Corba, and I heard theres away to emulate the COM behavior using XML (I'll be looking into that starting next week, so I'll know more then) Thanks, Chen. --- Chen ShapiraWeb Developer and Linux Activist I only know that love is worth fighting for, Though living isn't easy, and freedom takes much more. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Jerusalug meeting 16.3
Hi all! I'm happy to announce that the newly found Jerusalug will have its first meeting on Thursday 16.3 19:00. The meeting will be in the offices of Virtual Communities, who kindly donated us their meeting room. They are located at the technology park in malcha, building 9, 3rd floor. This is right near the Malcha mall, in the green glass building with the "Open University" sign on it. If anyone has problems getting there (from Jerusalem or elsewhere, write to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Nathan Fain of Gurunet will lecture about Networks. The lecture will be in English, and he'll cover basic networking, transmission mediums, the OSI model and Network architectures quite quickly in the first hour, and then get in depth into internet protocols and DoS (denial of service, the so called "hacker attacks"). I hope to see everyone there! (Non Jerusalem residents are welcome too) And thanks to all the good people who helped me out: Martha Greenberg, Nathan Fain, Ira Abramov, Ilya 'rilel' Khayutin, Ely Levy and Schlomo Shapiro.

Creating a debian distribution
Hi,
I'm toying with the idea of distributing a commercial software product as a
debian distribution CD. The installation should be as easy as booting with the
CD inside. The user shall only have to answer some trivial questions such as
network stuff. Luckily X/Windows server is not required so the worst part of the
installation is solved. Does anyone have experience with this approach? I'd love
to hear some tales of battle and conquest ;-)
Cheers,
Yuval.

Which distribution
Hello, Let me start by stating that I do not want to start a flame war here, arguing which distribution is better. Instead, I am looking for opinions and backed up answers.

For example, I know that Mandrake let's you choose the security level of the of the OS during installation. 2. How fast does the manufacturer issues patches to security expolits from the moment they have become publicly known. 3.

What do you wnat to do with the machine? It may affect distribution selection as well. These are the factors that I find most important in the distribution I am looking for: 1. basic security of the distribution, default security settings and so forth. For example, I know that Mandrake let's you choose the security level of the of the OS during installation. Mandrake claims they can audit security level of distribution up to "very secure" (does not approach to ABC scheme, but their 7-th level of security _sounds_ reasonable. _sounds_. I did not used this myself, the reason to this can lead to flame war, so I am omitting it) It can be nice to have such an audition. However, think about two important factors: Holes which are not covered by their security auditor are dangerous, and If the security auditor is compromised It is important to remember, that security can not be achieved by choosing a right distribution, but rather by comitting yourself to the routine work of wtching out the holes yourself. Or using the answer I omitted due to high risk of flames. It seems that Mandrake can be more crackable than RedHat, just because from the cracker's point of view Mandrake is the known foe. On the other way, RedHat security is very strange, somewhere zero, somewhere high. May be the right answer would be choosing Mandrake, and mending it up to desired level of security by hand. 2. How fast does the manufacturer issues patches to security exploits from the moment they have become publicly known. I have no information about RedHat or Mandrake. Baicly you do not wait for manufacturer to issue a patch, but you look for it somewhere else. 3. This is specific to Mandrake - I know that Mandrake optimize their packages for Pentium (they claim up to 30% speed ups). Will these optimized packages cause any problems when executed on an AMD Athlon cpu? A strange question. It will run more slowly than on processor which was the target during compilation. Basicly, you can recompile entire distro with your specific optimisations (I did it on my choise of Linux distro, where it is trivial.) K7 binary compatible with P5MMX. Pipelining is different, so the heuristics which are good for P5MMX instruction set probably will flush the i/d-cache on K7. So it will run slowly. But problems? Sure you will have, no-one had cancelled the Murphy law. But there are not any problems you can face just because MMX instructions were issued here and there. -- Cheers, Omer Mussaev / tel 051308214 / http://www.linuxlizard.de/omer finger for [ address | phones | public key ] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Which distribution
O and I am not sure which distribution should I install - RedHat 6.1 O (or 6.2 for that matter) or Mandrake 7.0 (I have outrulled the rest O of the existing distributions out of various reasons). I've just installed Mandrake 7 and I have to report it's rather nice. Installation procedure is very nice and intuitive (it allows you to return to some points back and generally behaved almost like I thought it should), and install is cleaner than RH's. Only strange thing I observed that it somehow messed up X install (it was a laptop), and I spent some 20 minutes trying to get working config, then returned to defaults - and X worked with them. Strange thing is that installer test didn't work, while real X did, but I don't feel too bad about it - it would be worse other way :) Yet another strange thing - it managed to strip Windows installation without asking me how much I want for Linux. And it chose reasonable values (I've checked afterwards), though I wouldn't partition disk exactly this way. But for the beginner it's nice feature - it doesn't ask "hard" questions.

minivend and competitors
Michael Ben-Nes wrote: Michael Im using minivend as an e-commerce platform. Its working Michael great but Im thinking replace it with other platform Michael because the support is really lame. Michael Any one know of a good e-commerce platform for unix that Michael support: mysql, basket, shipping, user-db At my lecture on Friday, I briefly mentioned MiniVend. Here's my basic experience, in two sentences: - MiniVend is very powerful, and can do anything you want. - Figuring out how to get MiniVend to do what you want, however, is a maddening experience. Now for the expanded report: I've been working with MiniVend for about two years, and have had near-daily struggles to get it to do what I (and my clients) want. When I first saw it, I was really delighted to have found a ready-made, GPL'ed, e-commerce solution with templating and Perl. I have since begun to have very strong criticisms of MiniVend -- its lack of decent error-handling, bizarre variable scoping, easily wedged state information, bad documentation, odd bugs, lack of serious support for SQL, and so on. Every month or two, I think that I've *finally* figured out how to work with MiniVend, and how to get it to do what I want. And then something happens to convince me otherwise. Unfortunately, there's no good free alternative. In the last few weeks, one of my programmers and I have looked into YAMS and OpenSales, which seemed to have the most promise of all free solutions. I'll admit that we didn't give it all that much attention (since one of our MiniVend sites was crashing and burning for no apparent reason), but it seems that YAMS is too underpowered for most needs and that OpenSales simply isn't ready for prime time. It's really a shame, too, since OpenSales looks like it has the potential to give MiniVend a serious run for its money. Just this morning, I spoke with one of my clients about shopping carts. I told him that it would probably be easier to build something ourselves from mod_perl, Mason, Apache::Session, and DBI than wrestle with MiniVend yet again. In such a scenario, Mason takes care of the templates, Apache::Session takes care of the state information, DBI lets us talk to the relational database of our choice, and mod_perl takes care of the speed and database connection pooling. You lose MiniVend's generic shipping calculator, tracking information, and error pages -- but these shouldn't take much time to write. And you won't be locked into MiniVend's odd templates, which lie somewhere in the twilight zone between Perl and macros. And yes, MiniVend has built-in CyberCash support. But given that CyberCash supplies Perl libraries for people to use, I imagine that it wouldn't be hard to write some home-grown libraries that talk to CyberCash. And if you use a component system like Mason, you can reuse the underlying layers with subsequent shopping carts, redesigning the top-level templates. You might also want to check out Zope (http://www.zope.org) and ACS (http://www.arsdigita.com). I'm sure that there are commerce systems available for both, although I'm not familiar enough to say for sure. By the way, I've found the MiniVend support to be quite good, with immediate answers to almost any question. Unfortunately, the answer you get from the mailing list is almost never, "It's documented in the manual," because the manual is difficult to understand, sparse in important places, and simply wrong in others. Support is important, but decent documentation is at least as important. If you want a simple store with decent templates, MiniVend is a good answer, and will do a good job. But if you want serious SQL support, or the ability to make simple changes without having to read dozens of pages of documentation, I would consider other options, including building your own.

I still use minivend as basket, backtracking, shipping and all thing that are simple with no database handling and no awful search process. but still I have few stupid Q like how to order from static page (arranged dynamically by php) more then one items in a click and how to immigrate to minivend 4. So Im kinda on a cross road, I even thought of buy full commerce program but i might find out that those program will not be better then minivend. So the main Q is what will be a good solution to the linux community when coming to build a full commerce store. "Reuven M.

Its working Michael great but Im thinking replace it with other platform Michael because the support is really lame. Michael Any one know of a good e-commerce platform for unix that Michael support: mysql, basket, shipping, user-db At my lecture on Friday, I briefly mentioned MiniVend. Here's my basic experience, in two sentences: - MiniVend is very powerful, and can do anything you want. - Figuring out how to get MiniVend to do what you want, however, is a maddening experience. Now for the expanded report: I've been working with MiniVend for about two years, and have had near-daily struggles to get it to do what I (and my clients) want. When I first saw it, I was really delighted to have found a ready-made, GPL'ed, e-commerce solution with templating and Perl. I have since begun to have very strong criticisms of MiniVend -- its lack of decent error-handling, bizarre variable scoping, easily wedged state information, bad documentation, odd bugs, lack of serious support for SQL, and so on. Every month or two, I think that I've *finally* figured out how to work with MiniVend, and how to get it to do what I want. And then something happens to convince me otherwise. Unfortunately, there's no good free alternative. In the last few weeks, one of my programmers and I have looked into YAMS and OpenSales, which seemed to have the most promise of all free solutions. I'll admit that we didn't give it all that much attention (since one of our MiniVend sites was crashing and burning for no apparent reason), but it seems that YAMS is too underpowered for most needs and that OpenSales simply isn't ready for prime time. It's really a shame, too, since OpenSales looks like it has the potential to give MiniVend a serious run for its money. Just this morning, I spoke with one of my clients about shopping carts. I told him that it would probably be easier to build something ourselves from mod_perl, Mason, Apache::Session, and DBI than wrestle with MiniVend yet again. In such a scenario, Mason takes care of the templates, Apache::Session takes care of the state information, DBI lets us talk to the relational database of our choice, and mod_perl takes care of the speed and database connection pooling. You lose MiniVend's generic shipping calculator, tracking information, and error pages -- but these shouldn't take much time to write. And you won't be locked into MiniVend's odd templates, which lie somewhere in the twilight zone between Perl and macros. And yes, MiniVend has built-in CyberCash support. But given that CyberCash supplies Perl libraries for people to use, I imagine that it wouldn't be hard to write some home-grown libraries that talk to CyberCash. And if you use a component system like Mason, you can reuse the underlying layers with subsequent shopping carts, redesigning the top-level templates. You might also want to check out Zope (http://www.zope.org) and ACS (http://www.arsdigita.com). I'm sure that there are commerce systems available for both, although I'm not familiar enough to say for sure. By the way, I've found the MiniVend support to be quite good, with immediate answers to almost any question. Unfortunately, the answer you get from the mailing list is almost never, "It's documented

Re: COM technology
Anybody tried writing corba programs with gnome/kde ? Each of them comes with its own orb (I guess there's not much chance of interoperability of those two orbs). This means that you have the daemon running. Are there enough gnome/kde apps which have corba interfaces?

network install problems
Hi. I'm trying to install RH6.1 using a network install. Selected 'FTP install', and then my network card device (ne compatible), I get: '/tmp/ne.o: init_module: Device or resource busy'. I started out with a good network driver, which worked under RH6 (I did a network install with it back then) who I know the IRQ and IO address. Entering those parameters didn't work. So I figured the card is trash, I went out and bought a $20 nameless ISA network card, put it in, retried - but no go. Did anybody experience this weird behaviour with RH6.1? BTW: After booting from the bootnet img, and selecting 'text' install, I'm prompted for a 'driver' diskette. Can anybody tell me what that means? - Aviram Jenik "Addicted to Chaos" - Today's quote: Top 25 Explanations by Programmers when their programs don't work: 4.
