Hi Amichai,
I can host the site on http://foss.org.il\http://floss.org.il. Perhaps 
Lior Kaplan will help us with the site itself. Lior?

Hi again,

Any takers for the job of putting such a site together?

I can contribute to the research for such products, but I have no knowhow on
the actual codingof the site itself...

Hi,

I have similar idea, with focus on open (opposite of locked-in)
lifestyle in Israel. To concentrate on Linux is too narrow vision. The
site would have recommendations for services in Israel that don't try to
force users to a specific way of doing things:

   - Allow (or even encourage) usage of standards compliant browsers
   Various websites
   - React reasonably to the fact, that customer uses open technologies
   (Linux,BSD,OOo,etc).
   ISPs, cable/ADSL, etc
   - Use open platforms themselves
   - Avoid lock-in of customers into their technologies (Unlike some
   printer vendors suing 3rd party ink producers).

Hamakor will gladly host the actual site, as soon as we upgrade the
server (which should be extremely soon now). As for the coding, well, I
cannot vouch for anyone.

Graphic card

2007-05-08 Thread Yehoshua (shay) O'Hayon Suchar
Hello list.


I'm interested on buying a graphic card for graphical design on Linux
specifically, and I would like to know if there is any Linux friendly
graphic card that might work out of the box on a Linux system
(specifically Debian) and that might work without proprietary drivers.


Any ideas?


thanks in advance,

shay

i am using nvidia 6600 on a few linux machines
there is an open source driver, but if you want 3d accelerations i would go
with NVIDIA's proprietry driver

Installing libmimedir as a prerequisite to Synce 0.10.0

2007-05-08 Thread Dotan Cohen

I'm using Fedora Core 6 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 /E1505 laptop. I am
trying to install libmimedir versions 0.4 or 0.5 for synce 0.10.0. I
can install libmimedir-0.4, but when I make synce-rra it complains:
checking for mdir_parse in -lmimedir... no
configure: error: Can't find libmimedir
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmimedir/)

So I try to install libmimedir-0.5, but make fails:
o add.o count.o del.o
ranlib .libs/libmimedir.a
creating libmimedir.la
(cd .libs  rm -f libmimedir.la  ln -s ../libmimedir.la libmimedir.la)
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o test.o -c test.c
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o
test test.o -L. libmimedir.la
libtool: link: cannot find the library `'
make: *** [test] Error 1



What must I do to either:
1) Install libmimedir-0.5?
or
2) Have synce-rra recognise linmimedir-0.4?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I know, using the proprietary drivers if I want hardware
acceleration. That is not what I'm looking for.

Thats 3D.

For good 3D drivers, you'll have to go with the closed source drivers
if you're going to buy either NVidia or ATI. The open source drivers
for those card, performance wise - is slow.

Thanks,

That's why I am asking: is there any *other* card that is compatible
with Linux, has open source drivers and is able to do 3d acceleration
with those drivers?


TIA,

Intel has open drivers (starting with Xorg 7.2 IIRC), but they are
usually laptop/on-board cards.

Older ATI cards, which should be enough for blender, have open source
drivers in Xorg. For more info and models, see:

And here you have some information about the Intel cards. It is for
Ubuntu. I don´t think that for Debian the situation is different.
