Re: Ubuntu discs for Jerusalem Linux Club Instaparty
While I was on board Hamakor, we duplicated disks of Kazit. I think it can be done again with Ubuntu. We have duplicated it using a firm in Carmiel (I do not recall the name now) There is also Magnetics in Petach Tikva that can do it. -- Ori Idan On 10/15/07, Guy Sheffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oded Arbel wrote: On Sat, 2007-10-13 at 20:14 -0400, Guy Sheffer wrote: I am Guy Sheffer from the Jerusalem Linux Club (JLC). Our club is now in reparation for an installation party around November. However, when we made contact with Canonical to use ShipIt, they only offer Ubuntu 6 and not 7. If I understand correctly, when the installation party will be held Ubuntu 7.10 will already have been released, so you'd probably want to install that. As I said, we made contact with them. We don't necessarily want ubuntu 7.10. I think 7.10 is alright, it has been tested since it was out. And is probably less buggy. Given that 7.10 is not released yet (well - they still have 2 weeks to complete testing) its quite likely that you won't get any relevant help from Canonical. I suggest to contact them again after the release, and they might be able to help you, the short time frame not withstanding. I think your best bet is to get someone with a lightscribe CD writer and a free weekend to burn and label several dozens CDs with a nice Ubuntu and penguin logo. The outcome would look quite professional, and the investment should be around 10 NIS per CD which I'm sure can be easily raised with a quick fund raiser. Most of our club members are busy people.

I will try to work with it and if I will get into any problems, I will call for help :) It's amazing what the Linux kernel supports these days. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new computer, filled with relatively new technology. Still, Fedora 7 (which I used) just worked on it without me needing to do any special tinkering, kernel recompilations, uber-complex configuration, and all the stuff you typically had to do when Linux was younger. The only thing that didn't work was my old (PATA) disk (this machine has both PATA and SATA), and this last problem was solved a few days ago when Linux 2.6.23 came out (and Fedora shipped it a couple of days later), with support for the off-chipset PATA controller on my motherboard.

Yes Nadav, you're right. It's really crazy.

Linux 802.11g pci card
Hello List, As the subject say, I'm looking for a good PCI 802.11g card that will be supported by madwifi. However (and that's my main problem), the card must work in a computer located inside a Mamad, where the router is located only 8 to 10 meeters in a different room from that computer. Is it possible to find such card without using MIMO for example ? Does anyone know of a good card for that task that will work under linux ? My router is (maybe it will help to find an answer) Linksys WRT54GL with Linksys latest patches. Thank you for any help in this matter Ido -- http://ik.homelinux.org/ = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Linux 802.11g pci card
Lost of card that you can get anywhere off the shelf these days use RaLink chips, and I had relative success getting such to work with the rt2x00 driver in the latest versions of Ubuntu and OpenSuSE and to a minor degree with Fedora. Also I could get some Broadcom based cards to work with the open source driver and binary firmware from the windows driver, but its a bit more touch and go as the stable open source driver currently doesn't support firmware release 5 which newer chips require. Anyway, my point is that you can have wireless access these days on a lot of cards with open source drivers - you need not limit yourself to madwifi.
