Here we go again. Look people, I know that Winblows is a piece of crap

still hasn't pried the DOS kernel out of the thing. I've been in IT
support
since Windows 3.0, so I know the architecture inside. As such, I hate
I agree, but I am not sure which should be pried out DOS or Windows.
Windows with all the same venom and vitriol as the rest of you . But,
it is
a necessary evil (for now).
It is only necessary as long as this is believed. As people in college
use Linux instead of M$ the "educated" people will eventually get into
positions (managment) and choose to use Linux there too. It will just
be a matter of time.
You expect a CEO to learn e-mail on Linux? Right. His time costs about
$200
an hour - too valuable to spend learning a new OS, when Windows is
ready and
able to handle at least this simple chore ( for a while anyway, until
it
chews the FAT table on the disk and explodes like a roman candle) and

Now I do agree this is true that a learning curve exists. Time is a
great consideration no matter what your position may be. Now if you
want to sell Linux to a CEO you might convince him that it will in the
end same him time by not having system crashes as you have illustrated.
However, this will no longer be an issue as more people in influential
positions start to use Linux and M$ is phased out.
mostly knows how to use it. I wish everyone in here would drop the
"holier
than thou" attitude. You all seem to either have a superiority complex
or
want to divide the world into technology haves and have nots.
Now this is an interesting way to lump all those involved as having a
"holier than thou" attitude. First of it assumes that everyone in here
is using Linux and only Linux (and nothing but the Linux : ). Then it
assumes that everyone in here thinks they are better than those who
would use M$. Both of these assumptions are false. Now this seperating
people into halves and have nots has already been done by M$. If you
try to "compete" you are either bought out or forced to leave the market
by "lower quality" mass distributed products.
Now I do enjoy this type of discussion and I would like to further talk
(if it stays civil) with people about it. However, there is nothing
wrong with the occasional "M$ sucks" or "Linux sucks". A lot of times
it helps to let out frustration. Now if it were to be too excesive then
we might have to open a discussion group just for this maybe
"comp.os.linux.sucks" or "comp.os.win.sucks". Have a good one.

You did not mention -- is there a hard drive?
To install e.g. Debian you need I guess 8 floppies,
4MB of RAM, and at least 20-30 MB of hard drive. For a reasonable
toy about 50MB, and you can even fit X on 100MB disk.
If your old PC is older than 386, then Linux will not run at all,
while on 386 it runs too slow to have fun.
Another option if you want to fiddle around is Minix, but you'd end
up with linux anyways.
At the same time, $150 buys a motherboard and 300MHz CPU, $100 buys
64MB of ECC PC100 RAM, and $110 buys 3.2G of hard drive.

Every distribution has its followers. If you want to have some fun,
spend a couple hundred on a 6G or higher HD and run multiple versions of
Linux. Get the InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource ($20), which
includes RedHat, Debian, SuSE and Slackware and take turns installing
them into different partitions. Run each for awhile and the one you
stick with at the end is the one that's right for you.

I have heard about linux but I have a simple question:
WHAT IS LINUX ??
Simply put: It is an operating system. More accurately: It is the core
of an operating system. To have a working OS, you need a kernel and a
bunch of utilities and setup files. The utilities (basic commands and
such) commonly used with Linux are provided by GNU (www.gnu.org). Even
though the Linux/GNU combination is not officially Unix(tm), it is in
all practical cases a Unix clone. You can compile and run almost any
program designed for Unix on a Linux machine.

I just installed RedHat 5.1 on an older Compaq Deskpro (I
remain contented to stay one generation behind in home
computing). When, at great length, I finally got the
XF86Config file right -- a stable image, that is -- for the
Nanao F2-17 (17-inch) monitor I'm using, its image was still
shifted to the right, leaving a dark band on the left side an
inch wide.
Now, in part this may be solved by tweaking the monitor
settings. The reason I think so is that Windows 95 on the same
box also puts out an image that is right-shifted, but only by
1/2 inch.
So if I can get a half inch by adjusting the monitor, can
somebody tell me what parameters in the XF86config file
might be involved in shifting it another half inch to the
left?
I might remark that video configuration is still the armpit of
Linux, even after the four years that have passed since I
installed Linux on a PC the first time. Everything else in the
installation went smoothly. The hackers who created Linux
should take time off from tweaking the kernel and get busy
on more successfully automating the video configuration process.

I had this same problem.
Some-one told me that you should set vga-console to yes in console
drivers. The funny thing might be, that your console drivers button is
disabled.
This is because you prabobly used an old kernel config file. (Rather
lazy then tired; that is my motto) and that is were it goes wrong. Since
some variables don't exist anymore or have been changed and leaves your
configuring tools some what crippled.
So you should re-configure the new 2.2.x kernel from scratch. And then
you can select the vga-console driver. Also a very good tip is to keep
FRAME_BUFFERING set to "no".

There is a directive that you need to enter into the

Exact syntax for append command could be found in man pages, but for this

this was due to my HP 7100+ CD Writer which required initialising before
Linux would recognise it, and unfortunately it was the drivers in Win which
did this (Don't have any trouble with an 8100 though)! This was just a

Paul Doherty
It was my understanding the largest issue was the design of the shaped
charges and the critical nature of getting them to detonate at the exact
same time to "crunch" the uranium to critical mass.
The Manhattan project made two kinds of bombs - a Uranium bomb (Fat
Man) and a Plutonium bomb (Little Boy). Evidently a Uranium bomb is easier
to detonate than a Plutonium bomb because it reaches critical mass more
easily (physists are welcome to flame me on this point!).
The Fat Man U235 bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima was described by one
author as 'a stove pipe with a Uranium plug aimed toward a lump of Uranium
in a stove belly' (paraphrased). The Plutonium bomb, which Nagasaki
received, required precise timed detonation of lense shaped charges around
a spherical Plutonium mass.
There is much speculation as to why the US needed to drop two bombs when
one should have sufficed. My opinion is that they wanted to test the
Plutonium bomb. The one live test in New Mexico was of a Uranum 235 bomb
and I think the politicians and scientists were curious if the Plutonium
bomb would work. It answered their questions, but was a bit rough on the
poor residents of Nagasaki...
The justification I heard for the second detonation at Nagasaki was that
the US felt is was necessary to demostrate that they really were capable
of building more than one of these things. But the Nagasaki bomb was the
last one they had--it would take months to make any more, because the
processes for making the U235 Plutonium were so slow.
If only one was needed, why didn't Japan surrender after the first one at
Hiroshima? An argument could be made that they needed a little more
persuading.

I've got a real basic question about configuring cron. I am using Caldera
Linux 1.2, with the 2.0.33 kernel.
/etc/crontab as shipped by Caldera contains lots of nifty cleanup stuff.
But I don't think they are actually running.
After reading the man pages for cron and crontab, I think I am supposed
to
"crontab -u root -l" to see the cron table for entries that are schedule to
be run as root (there aren't any)
"crontab -u root /etc/crontab" to 'load' the entries from /etc/crontab into
the cron table
After doing these steps, and then running the first command again to see
what is in the cron table... I don't think it's right. All of the comment
entries in the /etc/crontab file appear in the crontab output.
Am I missing something? Or did I do it right, and crontab preserves the
comments?

I have a fujitsu 10PPV printer which is connected to a Win95 machine on my little home network. On my main linux machine, I am running samba and am printing to the laser printer through samba. So far I have printed a few postscript pages and text pages. I have also had to turn on the "send EOF" option to get the pages out of the printer. But all that is Ok now. Now here's the strangenes... My wife who uses the Win95 machine to type stuff and print from Microsoft Word. These days she is working on her thesis which involves a lot of repeated printing of drafts. Suddenly she finds that in her print-outs, some numbers ( which were in bold BTW) are being printed a little higher than the rest of the test ... e.g. if she has the ( pseudo marked up) text: fig b3/b the bold '3' prints sort of half way to the superscript position ( keeping the same font size ). This did not happen in the previous printouts of the same text. Now it could very well be a Word wierdness but I would like to know whether it is possible to permanently change the printer settings using the PCL drivers of ghostscript or in any other way, printing from linux. And if so, what can I do to make sure that every time I print from my machine, it resets the original settings after printing is finished Any hints or pointers will be appreciated...

I know this isn't originating internally because a) the firewall tells me so, and b) all the other machines are curently powered off :-) Can anyone give me some pointers on how to track this sucker down? Can I capture the data in the packets to look at? He seems to be trying to hit ftp, netbios, and
