[SLUG] Video cards
Anyone have any advice regarding the Creative 3D blaster series of graphic cards? Any ones that are particularly good or any that are unsupported under Linux? What video card would most people recommend these days for use under Linux? (Ok... so I guess that depends on purpose right...) Warmest regards Mike --- Michael S. E.

[SLUG] transparent bridging?
Is it possible to setup a linux box as a transparent bridge? The reason is that I'm routing an ip range, and I want to stick a Linux box in the middle, just for ip accounting purposses. I know I can use proxy-arp to do this; seems a bit messy. -- Sonia. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Win4Lin & MYOB - is it really this bad?
G'day GripZ... err Grant and all... Actually it's the MYOB locking methodology rather than the MS Windows behaviour ... Warmest regards Mike --- Michael S. E.

Just out of curiousity, are you using the vnet setup or the other one? I think for this situation the Win4Lin would probably benefit from having it's own IP address. At least it's something to try to benchmark. A quirky alternative might be to smbmount the relevant directory on the server itself but I'm thinking this won't help since it's the Window's locking behaviour you're trying to trigger but you never know till you try.

You see... anyone can flame. It's fun and gets the adrenalin up. A geeks version of going outside and chasing cars, maybe? What does axel grease taste like exactly? May I suggest that, in the future, that you pull your head in? Now, all up though, I posted the initial link (late at night) just as a heads up as to the kind of stuff Microsoft is trying to chuck wrt Linux. I never saw it mentioned anywhere before (/., Core, LWN, etc) so I thought it might be interesting to others. I got a giggle out of it on a few levels, one of which is that this is a nice indication of just how successful Linux has become so far and how successful it can be if things go well. As for the FUD? Well, obviously it's part and parcel and something that one should verymuch keep in mind. Both from MS advocates AND OS/Linux/BSD/ Mac/etc. I have come to believe that neither 'side' (if you could call it that - OS/etc advocates are really a loosely strung collection of individuals who don't coordinate at all (or rarely) in the great scheme of things). As far as computers go, it's stupidly easy to spread FUD. I believe that major contributor to this is a. the believe that you really should know absolutely nothing about them and b. the amount of effort going into keeping people pleasantly ignorant of them. This doesn't mean that you should know everything about them, but it DOES get rather annoying when someone, for example, asks you how many MB a video card has in order to determine its speed... Such people, unless they clue in, will never be resistant to IT industry FUD. -- "How can I not love the Americans?

Re: [SLUG] latex gnuplot missing colour
for simple graphs, you might also want to look into "metapost". a little harder than gnuplot, but you have complete control over the output (its a drawing language, rather than a plotting tool). -- - Gus -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
