opening a directory for samba, netatalk, www all at once.
I'm running this distro http://www.e-smith.org/ on a box for my colleagues. The only feature that I use is the Ibay, this lets me create a directory that is accessible through samba (windows), netatalk (apple), www and ftp. It will also let me treat user home directories as Ibays. Any package that will do this for debian, check that all the needed kernel modules are in place etc? op -- http://plusseven.com/gpg/

When I first moved to linux I tried out StarOffice, which put all it's windows in one desktop window. That was one of the reasons I didn't stick with StarOffice. The main reason however was that is was extremely sluggish and unstable. This was a long time ago so maybe that has all changed. Pardon my English, speling is broken in Evolution.

debian box as digital VCR?
I decided to go for some ATA RAID solution, probably from www.promise.com, for my new home box. While reading around I find that one popular deployment for IDE RAID is video editing. I'm not into that, but I would like to have something like Tivo or ReplayTV. Is anyone on the list using a linux box as a digital VCR? Any tips. op

[OT] How to run procmail on Maildir or mbox
I spent the morning moving to fetchmail/procmail for mail retrieval and filtering. I think I will be very happy with it indeed. Kmail and Evolution will let the user apply filters on already filtered messages so as to put them in some other folder. This is great when you realize that some filters are wrong and a zillion messages have gone in wrong folders. Is there anyway to do the same thing with procmail, apply it on an mbox or Maildir? regards op

[OT] Price / performance Software RAID / Hardware RAID / IDE / SCSI
I'll be building a new development machine soon. It's been a while since the last time, and it's seems to be a lot harder today than the last time I did it a few years ago. There are so many CPU slots and memory types to choose from. First I think that I should get faster disk I/O than I have today. So for the first time ever I'm considering some RAID solution. In your experience what will get the best price / speed performance ratio?

Re: sgml or latex?
As you might have noticed a lot of people are moving to XML. I don't know much about technological superiority of the diffrent options but XML has a lot of momentum. This means that xml has lots of tools ,libraries, books, knowledgeble users on usenet etc. I think that both DocBook and Linuxdoc have xml versions. I've heard that people writing about math still prefer tex.

Installing the other OS by cp -ax
Some time ago I tried to install the userfriendly OS Windows 98 on spare partition. Of course it succeded in rendering my laptop unusable. It took me two days to get my system back. This was four weeks ago, so now I'm ready for some more pain. Instead of letting the windows installer put it's teeth in my hd I've tried installing the OS by copying an complete installaion from another computer. I've mounted the other computers C: at /mnt/winc and copied it to my empty FAT parition /dev/hda1 mounted at /mnt/hd like so: cp -ax /mnt/winc /mnt/hd I've entered a entry for windows in lilo like so: other=/dev/hda1 label=win Lilo will let me choose win at boot time. But I will get an errormessage that says something like This is not a bootdisk, replace it with a bootdisk and press any key in swedish. However my fdisk says: Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 122979933+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 123 134 96390 83 Linux /dev/hda3 135 170289170 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 * 171 730 4498200 83 Linux Did I miss some magic flag when partitioning the drive?
