If it's a regular Celeron, then it is not good. Your computer will probably have heat problems if you try to squeeze it too much (even though regular Celeron processors can fit into laptops since they have some primitive heat control - it is not it as they had not been created for laptops-use in the first place). You should have gone for a Pentium 4-M 2.0GHz, the least, although any Pentium M (not 4-M) would do good for you. At least 1.4GHz (see the differences - Pentium M != 4-M != 4).

Last but not least, maybe you actually don't have DMA activated (suppose your HD is at least UATA 100, it can highly increase your system's performance). To check your HD's performance, you can do this (suppose that /dev/hda is your HD. well, it should be): hdparm -tT /dev/hda later on, you can try to activate your HD's DMA if you see that it is not activated, by doing this: hdparm -d 1 -A 1 -m 16 -u 1 -a 64 /dev/hda If DMA wasn't activated, you will highly feel the differences. Whatsoever, I still recommend you to do some hardware upgrade. At least add some memory. I also assume that the swap is used too much because you don't have enough RAM. If you want to be really free with what you run on a KDE/Gnome environment, add 256MB to your laptop, so you will have 384MB at least.

Re: The AGNULA project: A GNU/Linux Audio distribution
AGNULA was a proof of concept and AFAIK budgeted by the EU for 2 years only, thus will not be developed any further unless someone else will take this. The project started on the 1st April, 2002 and will end on March 31, 2004. A more committed solution for professional musicians is PlanetCCRMA, started with Red Hat now based on Fedora, which has an excellent repository which is very well maintained (emphasis on preemptive and smp kernels), by Stanford university . Planet CCRMA (CCRMA is pronounced ``karma'') at Home is a collection of rpms that you can add to a computer running RedHat 7.3, 8.0, 9 or Fedora Core 1 to transform it into an audio workstation with a low-latency kernel, current ALSA audio drivers and a nice set of music, midi, audio and video applications. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma -- Uri Sharf, Linmagazine http://linmagazine.co.il On 19/04/04 14:44, Yishay Mor wrote: http://www.agnula.org/ AGNULA (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the European Commission http://europa.eu.int/institutions/comm/index_en.htm (number of contract: IST-2001-34879 http://dbs.cordis.lu/fep-cgi/srchidadb?ACTION=DCALLER=PROJ_ISTQF_EP_RPG= IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass).

Re: Anaconda for Debian (Was: Linux for black-box router)
Not sure what you mean by: Thing is - how do I hack into a Debian ISO ? I don't see much point in installing Debian and then installing Anaconda on it. In any case I don't recommend using Progeny's, since it seems very unstable. It tends to crash during install if you select anything other than the defaults and I did go through rough times getting debian to work properly afterwords. BTW I really like Xandros as an Installer for Debian, and I don't mind paying for it. Plus, you get a CXOffice pre-configured (if you need it) and a sane configuration w/o any conflicts when upgrading from sid later on. Very different experience compared with Lindows - as a very bad example or even Knoppix I think. Also, the officiail Debian Installer seems to be much better now, can't complain. linuxmafia is indeed a great source for ideas.

OT: Multiple UNIX compromises on campus (Standford and others)
Stanford, along with a large number of research institutions and high performance computing centers, has become a target for some sophisticated Linux and Solaris attacks. An unknown attacker (or group) has compromised numerous multi-user Solaris and Linux computers on Stanford's campus using a variety of mechanisms. In most cases, the attacker gets access to a machine by cracking or sniffing passwords. Local user accounts are escalated to root privileges by triggering a variety of local exploits, including the do_brk() and mremap() exploits on Linux and the sadmind, arbitrary kernel loading modules and passwd vulnerabilities on Solaris. ref: http://securecomputing.stanford.edu/alerts/multiple-unix-6apr2004.html p.s.

Re: THREE ROSES - Three Regional Operating networks working on Strategic Electronic Scenarios
They've actually allready published a first report (Desktop study use of Open Source in Local Government in Europe) based on e-mail and interent survey and also had a 2nd workshop, a follow-up to the survey, in Sept/2003. Some of their finding were incorperated in to the IDA report (Open Source Migration Guidelines) published lately. 3Roses btw is a a small project that is managed by ERISA (http://www.ianis.net/), an NGO comissioned by the EU (not funded) to promote e-gov (among other things) at local/regional level in Europe. If It is based in Brusseles, or at least this is where their pr/communications seem to be comming from. Don't know if the report from the 3Rose's 1st workshop is available online, but if anyone needs it, I may have a copy somewhere, or can put it on whatsup. I tried once to check if local governments on Israel (Iriot and Rashoiout) can participate, it seems that there are some possibilities via research funds Israel is eligble to use etc. If any one is intrested in persuing this. Uri Yishay Mor wrote: This IST funded project will evaluate the current situation with regard to the development and adoption of Open Source Software (OSS) solutions to modernise public administration at local and regional level, and to support the economic development of the territory. Three Roses focuses on e-government services and e-business solutions that could be promoted by public administrations in their local context. Special attention will also be paid to the development of e-tools to support and enhance a learning process around open source solutions for the public sector. The benefits and disadvantages of adopting OSS technology are also being examined. The objective of the project is to develop a relevant roadmap for future research work under the 6th Framework Programme of Research and Technological Development of the European Commission. This will be done by concentrating on the state of the art of research and the use of Open Source Software in e government and related e-business and learning processes. To achieve this objective, Three Roses will become an open platform in which participants in potential future research work will be able to debate and exchange views during two workshop sessions and through a virtual forum. The life span of the project is one year (2003). Consultation will involve OSS researchers and developers, local/regional users and stakeholders, as well as experts in managing large European projects. http://www.prelude-portal.org/3roses/index.php = 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]
