[SLUG] To Debian or not to Debian, that is the ......
Hi all, I have a friend who wants to swap Debian Woody (3.0?) for Redhat 8.0. I'm not particularly happy Redhat 8.0, preferring 7.3 and am looking to change distros. I have always wanted to try Debian, but after frustrating network and video problems, I never got past the install with potato. Here are my main concerns. I have a Dual head ATi Radeon 7500 which I'm happy to write XF86Conf files for, but I have heard that Debian does not support the Radeon cards. I could work around this by using a text based internet browser to download the latest Xfree stuff (4.1 or whatever it is now). But I also have a Realtek Rtl8139 100 base network card that Debian potato would not recognise. Which makes it hard to log into the server to access the internet. Hardware is AMD XP1700, 1 GB PC 2100 DDR-Ram, IDE 1 60GB Seagate HDD (pri) 52X Cdrom (sla) IDE2 CD-RW (pri) (may possibly be adding 40GB seagate this weekend) AGP, Generic powered by ATi Radeon Dual Head 7500; PCI slot 5 RTL8139 100Base network card. Can anyone see any possible unsupported hardware problems and can anyone suggest work arounds for those problems?

Get knoppix.

[SLUG] Raid Array on dell machine - debian install
Hi all, We have made the mistake of purchasing a system for a customer, and having troubles installing debian on it. We have debian woody minimal install (the 180mb iso) and can't get it to install cause of the ide raid. Thecard is a LSI Logic CERT ATA 100. The only driver disk I have found is from the Dell website, and is for RedHat ONLY. I guess I could muck around trying to extract the rpm's and make the module myself, but is there an easier way? or am I stuck running RedHat on this machine. I will never buy a Dell server again!

Re: [SLUG] To Debian or not to Debian, that is the ......
I think this is always the same story... Debian moves slower than any other distribution in most of the packages it offers. This is an element in the chose of a distribution. However, generally speaking, the packages have a better quality. Setting up debian is definitively less easy than the others due to the lack of nice install and detection system etc.., this is a fact (even if a lot of people are working on nice features arriving sometimes) , but eveything supported by any linux distro can work in debian too, it is just a matter of patience (in the case of Xfree) or doing the work yourself. Debian is alway compared to a power user distro, this is a fact i reckon even if installing is a really easy thing to do.I would never change from debian to anything else anymore because i know how to make it work for my needs. If you're happy with a distro, why change ? Major rule is to never change something which works...

Re: [SLUG] PDF Merging (Was: difficult recruiters.)
Does anyone know how to merge a form with signatures (unsigned) with
another pdf. We are build a system for the client to sign off on
results and we want to attach the sign-off form to the top of the image
we create.
OK, if by form, you mean acrobat form, then you have to use either Acrobat
proper, or the perl module PDF::API2:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use PDF::API2; # 0.3a26 or higher
my $cover = PDF::API2-open('coverletter.pdf');
my $body = PDF::API2-open('body.pdf');
my $merged = PDF::API2-new(-file = 'merged.pdf');
foreach my $pdf ($cover,$body) {
foreach my $pageno (1..($pdf-pages)) { # 1 (not 0) is 1st page !
$merged-importpage($pdf,$pageno); # insert it at the end
}
}
$merged-save;
If you just mean a PDF when printed out becomes a paper form, then you can
use other tools, like pdflatex.
merge.tex:
\documentclass[a4paper]{minimal}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{top=0cm,bottom=0cm,left=0cm,right=0cm,nohead,nofoot}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages={-}]{cover.pdf}
\includepdf[pages={-}]{body.pdf}
\end{document}
# pdflatex merge.tex
Many apps (notably word with PDFwriter) produce broken pdfs which
can't be used by many tools, but pdflatex is very tolerant, I use
it to clean/redistill pdfs before I use perl tools on them,
using the above TeX with only one pdf.

[SLUG] Milter or mail footer
Howdy I thought this was going to be easy but after a quick sendmail investigation and a google I'm starting to think otherwise What I am being asked to do is to add one of those annoying footer/signatures to the end of all outgoing mail. The mail daemon is sendmail. Am I correct in saying I need a milter? If so what's available or the best to use? Is there any other way of doing it?

Yes, but read http://www.professional.org/procmail/smtp.html first..
