Re: United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join
Matt, sorry, but i've got to call you on this. First, what has to be recomipiled for each distro? Most binaries will happily run on just about any distro released in the past 6 months. Second, Mandrake stopped basing their distro on Redhat well over a year ago. That aside, sure Mandrake seem to be a bit overconfident in themselves, but i don't know that is a bad thing. I'm not the least bit convinced that UnitedLinux has any chance of changing the futures of its participants. Mandrake seems to have finally found a business plan that works for them.

Re: United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join
Disagree. Been using Mandrake 8.0 ever since the Great Caldera Insult of 99. Tried 8.1 but it suffers from the same disease as most other new releases in that the floppy and cdrom are not accessible from the desktop or from the command line either. But, I have been using Mandrake long enough to know that it is not a Red Hat Clone. I've downloaded too many Red Hat RPMs and tarballs that wouldn't install due to configuration differences to believe that. A second point is why would Mandrake want to join SuSE and the three bears? Like Red Hat they're on the verge of making a profit. With their two year contract with the French government to de-MicroSoft French Government computers they might just succeed in pushing M$ out of France. By joining Caldera's latest harebrained scheme they would just make it easier to be invaded by other Linux distributors on their own French turf. Then there is this great bug-a-boo of splintering. So what? That's what Linux is all about. The only unsplintered OS around is M$. I don't hear too many suggestions that that is the ideal that Linux should strive for. The truth is that Linux is by it's very nature supposed to be splintered. It is supposed to be driven by thousands of developers both professional and non professional who design and redesign it. Linux has not lost market share because of any splinter effect. No matter how hard that makes the job of system administrator the business consumer doesn't care. To most of them the system administer is the little man you don't see. If he has to tie the system together with bailing wire and rags so what as long as it works. Linux has done so poorly because they have never really tried to market their product. When was the last time you saw a commercial or newspaper ad for Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSe, Caldera or anyone other than an IBM ad. Right now Apple is running ads all over the tv networks pushing their computers (so they claim) over windows powered pcs. That's called marketing. Then there is the problem if this United Harebrain concept succeeds? We end up with one desktop and all the current Linux distributors become little more than venders of Linux optional software with the only difference being the games provided, office, whether you get Sand or cdroast a cd player or a cd player and an MP3 player qview or bitmap. Before very long you're going to end up with one Linux desktop. As for system; yes that would solve a lot of hard work. But come on, you guys are paid to do the work. It's the reason for your existence. Simplify it too much and it's replace time with a cousin Orville who flunked out of second grade, but does have enough smarts to turn the server on in the morning and off in the evening and has the telephone number of repair shop when it crashes. Then there is the biggy. You can hand build a Linux server system by taking pieces from the net and other distros to meet the client's needs. Try that with M$ or UnitedLinux whose latest release has a hugh hole in it that wouldn't be fix until the next release in 18 months. Lee Matthew Carpenter wrote: Does anyone have a shovel?

Re: United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join
Not defending M$, only a point of view. First Win 95, 98. ME are basically the same distro, from the same company released about every 2-3yrs. Something like Mandrake 7.2, 8.0. 8.1,8.2 ect. What runs on Win 95 generally runs on Win 98 and even ME. The Nt based distros (nt4, 2000, XP) are similar but not identical as hardware and software developers are a little more reluctant to make drivers for the different Windows NT distros, so M$ has to do a little work on its own and write drivers, many of which don't work. But that doesn't change the fact that Windows, with all its bugs and crap. is basically unsplintered. It is also rigid and incapable of doing anything Bill Gates didn't design into it. It can not be modified in the field. This quest for unsplintering is not something that Linux should strive for. If you don't like Mandrake 8.0 load 8.1, 8.2 or SuSE 7.2 or 8.0, or RH 7.1, 7.2 ect. There is always an option. If there is an option on one distro that you want to run in a different distro it is not impossible to lift it and recompile. That's something you can't do with Windows. As for the all perfect United distro (even it's not marked on the desktop box) Windows provides an excellent example of what can happen. XP was their new bigger' better, with larger chrome strips release and it's fallen on it's face. Not because it's crap (the average Windows user wouldn't know that) but because the consumer has decided that it is not necessary. My Win 95 OS does everything I want it to do and I have all the bugs worked out of it Why do I need to spend $200 for XP? Do you really think the same thing can't happen with UnitedLinux? Lee box wrote: Lee wrote: Then there is this great bug-a-boo of splintering. So what? That's what Linux is all about. The only unsplintered OS around is M$. And just how unsplintered is a company that offers DOS Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows 98SE Windows ME Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows XP in various versions of each? At least the core of Linux is still the Linus kernel. g ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL. ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

ranking of distros by service
I've been pretty much stuck on one distro for a long time, and I've followed the user group almost since inception. Other than Mandrake a few years back and Caldera before that, I haven't followed other distros that closely. I'm just curious what your responses from various distros has been with respect to reported problems and resolution of same. With my current distro, there's a very short turn around time between opening a bugzilla and finding it closed - a few hours to a few days. On the other hand, since this distro doesn't have a beta phase (it's sort of a continuous beta) and new releases with content that is radically different from what the current users are running, so maybe all the bugs with the other distros are solved in beta.

Re: United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join
Sorry. I guess that's coming from the fact that I haven't kept up lately. I didn't realize MDK was separate from RH, nor did I realize that I wasn't still tied to the barrel by choosing COL... I guess I got so used to rolling my own RPM's since CheckInstall came out that I never thought to try anything else. On the same note, I just recently was having troubles with my favorite Audio editor, Audacity, and when I followed the request of the developer to install their RPM's, everything worked. I thought I got off easy, seeing as I had forgotten the goat and my sacrificial blade was extra dull anyway. So you're saying that on COL311, I should be able to run most current RPM's? Woo Hoo!

Re: United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join
On Tuesday 02 July 2002 03:32 pm, you wrote: I found this remark which I snipped from the article (a Mandrake manifesto IMHO) rather amusing: Before the Linux Standard Base, there was a de facto standardization phenomenon. When studying the Linux distributions, it is clear that most of them are based on Red Hat, Debian and Mandrake, which qualifies them as de facto standards. I thought more portent was their remark a little further down: It is extremely hard for us to understand why some software publishers and hardware manufacturers only support one Linux distribution.

USB-Storage issue
Ok, SO I spoke to soon. It appears my lockup problem was being caused by the USB device itself. Sorry for the bandwidth. I have both modules installed now and no problem. The card reader has been removed and will be returned to the vendor.. Any suggestions for a unit that might actually work?

Installing updated glibc: Conflicts with old install
Well, I should know better, but: I can't get anything to download with my current version of gnutella. This is bad because I have realized I don't have a copy of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. So: I want to install a new version of gnutella but: I went to the web site and they recommend limewire which I downloaded but which: Requires a new version of Java which, which I downloaded but which: Requires an updated glibc.. (And then they wonder why windows is still popular on the desktop. What windows user would tolerate this for 3 seconds? Imagine just trying all these downloads on a telephone modem, rant, rant, rant.) Anyway, I downloaded the four libraries from the Caldera 2.4 current rpm's. They are: glibc-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm glibc-devel-static-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm glibc-localedata-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm I assume these are all I need. When I tried to install the first one with rpm -i , I got zillions of conflicts with the prior installation of glibc. I am vaguely aware that glibc is important for the functioning of my computer, so I am not sure if I should just rpm -e those offending installed rpm's. I ran rpm -U glibc-localedata-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm and that seemed to work. Then, I tried rpm -U glibc-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm and got this: root@jhammer6 jlh]# rpm -U glibc-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: glibc = 2.1.2 is needed by glibc-devel-2.1.2-3 My current version of glibc is : [root@jhammer6 jlh]# ls /lib/libc-* /lib/libc-2.1.2.so So, the new version says the old version needs a somewhat newer version of the old version. I am basically without a clue. Any insight appreciated. Just in case I have really hosed my system, I am not going to turn it off ever again.
