Do you Rekall?
What is the key piece of MSOffice which is not readily available as Open Source? If you guessed none you'd be correct. In a recent press release, theKompany (www.theKompany.com) has released Access-competitor Rekall to the OpenSource community, as a Dual-license GPL (retaining rights to market non-GPL versions to paying customers).

Re: SUSE 9.0 is out now
I'd like to know as well. I'm quite happy with SuSE 8.2 Pro. But there is so much software included in SuSE that perhaps they have included new revisions of a lot of software that would never make the sales-bullet-points. There were some rough edges that may have been cleared up as well. For $49 upgrade, I'll probably pay it at least once. See what the future SuSE distro holds. Otherwise, 8.2 is great for what I do, which includes audio editing, development, and server stuff. Their video editing stuff was broad but didn't support many file formats. I'm hoping that's one of the bonuses of 9.0, but we'll see. This is why SCO was screwed up about not having a desktop (ok, so they were screwed about a good many things). I learn about how good a distro is by using it on my desktop. It's something I have control over but only affects me. Baptism by fire is another way of looking at it. The problem economically is that Desktop Linux is so powerful as a server that the fear of not selling servers is somewhat real... This is why RedHat's approach to ES seems good to me. Give the distro away for download, charge for updates and support. That allows us support personnel to learn it and possibly love it, while charging for the real enterprise value-add: support. SuSE charges a little without making ISO's available but so long as their Professional distro is still so reasonable ($80 is really a great buy for what you get) it's worth it for those not averse to non-RH distros. Then their's the Debain/Slackies (and associated distros) who will be a cornerstone of Linux for many years to come. The Debian crowd, in their religion of free-software, provide the Linux community a great anchor from which many corporate distros cannot stray far... So long as there are solid, fully free and libre distros, the costs associated with Corporate distributions will have to stay reasonable in cost. The competition will require it. Thanks to all distro maintainers, corporate or otherwise. This community has a great deal to offer, and a great deal to gain in the years to come.

Take a look at: http://audacity.sourceforge.net http://sox.sourceforge.net I use both depending on what I'm doing. The first (Audacity) is a very sophisticated GUI app that's great for on-screen editing tasks. The second (sox) is a very sophisticated CLI app that can apply an amazing number of effects and conversions to a sound file or even while recording. I use it for batch processing. You'll want to make sure you have a supported sound card. I bought a $17 Creative 128 PCI that works swimmingly (it has 2 line inputs and a mic). You may need a card with more inputs which is more specialized. My RH9 system came with kMix which is a simple mixer and also with Gnome Volume Control which is a somewhat more sophisticated mixer.

Re: Maximum Memory in Linux
Really? Wow. UL support 4GB out of the box. UL includes both CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G as well as CONFIG_1GB. I know there is also an option for 64GB. (from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help) 4GB CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and between 1 and 4 gigabytes of physical RAM. 64GB CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and more than 4 gigabytes of physical RAM. User address space size CONFIG_1GB If you have 4 Gigabytes of physical memory or less, you can change where the kernel maps high memory. Typically there will 128 megabytes less user memory mapped than the number in the configuration option. Saying that another way, high memory will usually start 128 megabytes lower than the configuration option. Selecting 05GB results in a 3.5GB/0.5GB kernel/user split: On a system with 1 gigabyte of physical memory, you may get 384 megabytes of user memory and 640 megabytes of high memory with this selection. Selecting 1GB results in a 3GB/1GB kernel/user split: On a system with 1 gigabyte of memory, you may get 896 MB of user memory and 128 megabytes of high memory with this selection. This is the usual setting. Selecting 2GB results in a 2GB/2GB kernel/user split: On a system with less than 1.75 gigabytes of physical memory, this option will make it so no memory is mapped as high.

Apache/PHP revisited
I just found an interesting twist to my recent php woes. I have been attempting to get squirrelmail working using a named virtual host, webmail.eisgr.com, which is actually pointing at /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/. It sends me the index.php file as text seemingly no matter what I do. However, if I access the site using the default site: http://www.eisgr.com/squirrelmail/ everything works flawlessly. This is sounding more like an Apache config thing than a PHP/Apache marriage thing... I thought that the definitions used for the default site carried over to all virtuals unless otherwise defined in that virtual. Can someone set me straight here? Thanks!

No, it's most likely because the link is created during a post-install script, not listed in the official file list which RPM uses to populate its database.

It's been awhile since I was intimate with RPM, but symlinks created by a post-install script aren't considered (or weren't at one time) as part of the RPM, although a properly-crafted remove script (executed when you rpm -e pkg.name.rpm) will remove symlinks created when the RPM was installed. That's it. It is a symlink (no doubt created by a script as you said). Still seems like an erroneous result to say it belongs to no package when in fact it certainly does. Being able to figure out who/what installed a particular file is a basic package management feature, IMHO. Perhaps. RPM's notion of a file list does not include symlinks created outside that list. This constitutes a design flaw, perhaps, but there might be reasons for this decision to which I'm not privy. In any event, I'm glad we worked out the problem.

Procmail and Cyrus IMAP
Anyone know how to pump mail into a specific mailbox from the CLI?
I'm attempting to provide Procmail access as a delivery agent to Cyrus IMAP.
I know that Cyrus requires special treatment, so I've set up a variable to assist in
the endeavor:
DELIVER='|/usr/bin/cyrus-deliver ' -e -r ${SENDER} -m ${EXTENSION} ${USER}
That way a user can simply put $DELIVER folder
or so it is supposed to be, but I'm afraid I don't understand Cyrus well enough to
figure out how to do it (heck, I don't even know what the ${EXTENSION} IS! but if
Postfix sees fit to include it, so am I :)

Re: GRUB and ATA RAID
I was already reading this howto when I got home and rebooted the system (having created the mirror between hda and hdc and going to bed last night). I wasn't paying attention until Tux appeared in the upper left corner of the screen and the kernel messages started flying by. Granted, it's not the bootscreen I'm used to seeing but it'll do... But it takes for freakin EVER to get there. I'd gander about 30 seconds after the Grub Loading message is pasted to the screen... But it takes this system so long to identify the drives it shouldn't surprise me. So much for competing for boot-times :( And I was hoping for a 1minute boot. heheh. It doesn't start loading the kernel in that amount of time :) Anyway, it looks like the BigBlock v1.0 machine will remain HWRaid... But this discussion has been deeply informational. I will be experimenting with SW RAID in the near future and perhaps BigBlock v1.1 or v1.2 will be using SWRAID instead of the HPT 1540 that v1.0 is using.

Re: SUSE vs Knoppix
Hi Squabsy- I also use SuSE 8.2pro and Knoppix 3.1/3.2 I would say that Knoppix is a great boot-distro and possibly something to install as a secondary distro on your hard drive, but I'm not sure I would replace SuSE with it. I like the way SuSE has packaged so much software and basically made it work together. While I've never been a big fan of Yast, I think that it's package-conflict/dependency resolution is very good. Furthermore, it was meant to be a full-time distro... Unfortunately I can't say what it is that SuSE has over Knoppix, except that SuSE feels more powerful and is supported on all the servers I use so Desktop experience transfers well. Also, while Knoppix has GREAT hw-autoconfig capabilities, I don't believe they support quite as much as SuSE or have permanent tools to configure them? (like my Video-In stuff?) APT-GET works with both deb and rpm packages, although if Knoppix can use the Debian software-stores perhaps it's a better bet? not sure. Let us know what you decide. If you install Knoppix, try it on a different partition and compare them side-by-side. I'd like to hear how they stack up against each other. Also, if you like Knoppix, check out http://www.knoppix-std.org It is a Security-focused distro which has stripped out the office functionality of Knoppix 3.2 and replaced it with every security/hacking tool known to Linux.

Re: Networking issues
I've had issues using ifconfig to set MTU. Also, if the problem is MTU, you'll want to set your Windows system MTU down as well...

If this clears it up, I'd recommend doing the Windows system as well.

Such as traceroute from Linux to the world or pinging the ISP's router, etc. The ISDN Terminal Adapter (i.e., modem) sends the requests, the SD light goes on, but never receives a reply, no RD light. I've been experiencing this problem for the last week to 10 days. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be the cause? I've replaced some hardware including the hub and cabling and I've tried using an analog modem but the same problem persists. The Linux box has been running for a very long time without any changes. (For those of you heavily in the Windows world, a user rebooted the Linux box the other day to see if it would fix the problem but it, obviously, didn't.) Sounds like a typical broken DNF issue. Try lowering the MTU on the Linux box' connection to your ISP and see if that helps: ifconfig dev mtu 296 If not, does your ISP permit multiple systems behind a NAT box? There are ways to detect nat'd systems, and he _might_ be blocking them (would be the first time I've heard of this happening though). Ciao, David A.

Re: recording wavs

Re: Xine slow to start up while probing hardware
Xine typically has a hard time auto-configuring the correct audio library, especially
between Artsd and Alsa (SuSE's main 2). If you only install the correct audio
components (from packman.links2linux.de you can download each sound component as a
separate RPM, as well as many others) I've noticed this performs much better. I
believe this can also be set by changing the Audio configuration from the Xine config
GUI. Instead of Auto, choose either Arts or Alsa. Since I'm an avid KDE fan, I have
found the Arts config to work well.
If you can't see it, in the GUI tab choose Master of the Known Universe for
experience_level :) You may need to quit and restart Xine for this to take effect.

Complaint against SCO
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/8/6/32819/51827 One submission to Michigan's AG: The SCO Group 355 South 520 West Suite 100 Lindon, Utah 84042 USA Phone: 801-765-4999 Fax: 801-852-9088 http://www.sco.com/ The SCO Group has been engaging in legal threats, both electronically and in hard-copy, to further their ability to extort money from consumers and companies in Michigan and throughout the world. By making unsupported and faulty claims of Intellectual Property rights in the Linux Operating System, The SCO Group has instilled fear, uncertainty, and doubt in the industry, and has been offering licenses to use Linux for $699 per processor in computer servers. This license has no apparent or reputed value per se, except to secure that SCO will not bring frivolous lawsuits against the purchasing company for using Linux. They will not come forward with any real proof of their claims. It is, however, very beneficial to the SCO Group to let the cloud of their allegations cause uncertainty in the marketplace for the chief competitor to their software products: Linux. The attempted extortion has been valued in the field above at approximately $700,000 using an estimation of 1,000 server installations at $699 per server processor, which is actually a very low estimate for Michigan, and does not include Workstations, for which SCO is attempting to charge $199 per seat. The price for each server processor doubles if not purchased by October 15th. The following are links to information regarding these actions. As appalling as it is, one good list of pertinant articles are at SCO's web site: http://www.sco.com/company/news/ Other pertinent information, including lawsuits by other companies being disrupted by this misbehavior, follow: http://www.sco.com/scosource/ http://lamlaw.com/ http://lwn.net/Articles/43307/ http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/030805/linux_cloud_1.html http://www.suse.com/us/company/press/press_releases/archive03/sco_redhat.html http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,4248,1210100,00.asp I have attempted to give my feedback to the SCO Group, since my company was a partner vendor for them until this behavior started occurring. They have proven unresponsive. Primarily this behavior needs to stop. Not only are there many who SCO would change thousands of dollars, but many in Michigan which could not afford either the licensing nor lawsuits, such as my small business. Furthermore, the uncertainty created by these actions hinders mine and every other business who makes money off of Linux-related services. Ideally, the executives of SCO would be tried and sent to prison for extortion, overbilling, and several other fraudulent crimes. This, I believe, is the only way to send the message that companies cannot hide behind the guise Intellectual Property to enable criminal activity.

Re: How to setup clusters
Hey Alma- There are Beowolf (Supercomputer) clusters, which require special programming to solve complex calculations, etc Work bits are handed off to members of the cluster and the resulting data is returned to the Master computer(s) of the cluster) There are distributed computational clusters like SETI (which is similar to the above setup). There are many other cluster types available, including loadbalancing clusters and failover clusters. But even within these two types of clustering, you also need to determin the services you are attempting to cluster. Some clusters, like a database cluster, are part of the application which is being clustered, eg. Oracle has its own clustering built in and maintained within Oracle. Samba clustering is NOT included in the application, but can be obtained by come-along software like heartbeat and drbd. SuSE 8.2 pro comes with all types of clustering software. I believe there is even a scientific cluster software included, although it is not Beowolf. HTH On Sat, 09 Aug 2003 16:10:55 -0500 Alma J Wetzker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Net Llama!

Does anyone have any experience/advice/interesting opinions about doing so? I am wondering if there is a good distro or any other wonderfulnes that will make the thing fun and last the semester. What do you plan to use it for? 'clusters' have *ALOT* of different meanings and uses, and that is heavily dependent on how you set one up. We plan on using it to learn how to setup clusters. Let me rephrase. You're asking 'how do i setup a cluster'. I stated that there is no such thing as one type of cluster. Its as if you asked 'how do i create software?'. There's not a single type of software, or even a single programming language to write the software. Sorry Lonnie, I do know the difference but I really don't have a single type of cluster in mind. What I meant to ask is if anyone on the list has setup a cluster, if so, what type and what distribution was used? I would like to setup a cluster consisting of a single virtual machine as I think that can be the most flexible. As I am not the only person working on the project I can't be more specific for a few weeks. I am just trying to use personal resources in addition to google and other various search engines and 900 pages of documentation. My personal interest is distributed applications, so a virtual machine running a database would be good. But we don't have the disk space to make it worthwhile. I hope to use more than one configuration before we are done. Well, there are alot of different types of databases out there, some with excellent clustering support, some without. Oracle DB2 have pretty decent distributed processing support. The amount of diskspace isn't really an issue unless you plan to start dumping large chunks of data into the DB. Otherwise, a database will remain as small as you want it to. Most of my paid work has been Oracle where I end up using triggers and stuff to accomplish what I need to get done. I am trying to figure out MySQL right now and perhaps PostgreSQL next year. Most of my test data is quite large as I need to test MANY configurations and options. Like i already said, clusters are not a singular thing, like apache, or fortran programming. Its a very broad field, and you need to think about what part of it you're interested in persuing, as there isn't a single method that applies to everything. A cluster is just more than one physical computer working together to accomplish a single task. Be it data storage, numerical computation, graphic rendering, or something else altogether. Once you figure that out with a degree of specificity, then you can move towards determining how to set one up. Since I don't know, or care, which direction I am going with this, ANY help or direction from the list is valuable. (Especially questions like yours!)

Re: SCO Sucks
Any judge in their right mind will be able to see through this. Politics aside, the judge would have to concede that SCO's tactics have been completely self-serving and not in accord with a desire to resolve anything. Since the code is already public, listing code that has been allegedly infringed upon would not in any way further any possible damages. No, this is SCO's attempts to make money off of Linux since they were unable to do so using more conventional means (ie. SELLING IT!)
