Matt,
I find the easiest way, it to dump a rpm in, or do
"./configure --prefix=/usr; make; su -c 'make install'"
--prefix means check, and install stuff in /usr instead of
/usr/local

Anand,
Well, presenting the 'winner' as the team who convinced more
people to use such and such, may be a great way...
Although, admitedly, this approach won't work for everything, but
for most things...

Graeme,
And it would be even better if you put them up on the web, so
other Matrix freaks (like myself) can grab them :)

Matt,
Your post may have been in jest, but i did not take it as
such. And no, Emacs definetly didn't win the debate, 2 or 3 people voted
for emacs, and the rest of the room (or it seemed to be) voted for
vi. Now, as a vi (and vim) user, i may dislike emacs, but that doesn't
mean you have
Guys,
Utter nonsense...I had a trusty 486 DX 4/100 (1 Gig hard drive)
with no modifications running a 10MBit-56Kbit, running Apache,
ipchains, Wu-ftpd, everything but the kitchen sink (and no emacs :) with a
load average of about 0.03. I could get 800KB/s from it, and then on it

Jill,
If a machine reports 0 users, and you know there are something
like 20 logged on, the problem isn't that serious, it's just that they
(terminal emulator, or terminal itself) can't write to utmp, or wtmp (damn
caffeine-deprived mind.) When my machines do this, i usually chmod 4755
Grahame,
Converting to qmail is fairly easy. RPMS are popping up
everywhere (links on www.qmail.org, since DJB relaxed his license
somewhat. Debs are somewhat harder but apt-get install qmail-src was
suprisingly gentle.
"rpm -e sendmail --nodeps"; "rpm -Uvh tcpserver... qmail..."
Jason,
I'd be happy to provide a "server" (yeah, right :), which is my
Celeron 300A @ 466MHz, running both Evilware and Linux. Should be fine for
a dedicated server for Quake 1, 2 or 3.

Guys,
I remember the brief time i used Licq, I was pedantic and
compiling both Licq and Qt from source. QT required a logout to set
environment variables, but it worked flawlessly.

Howard,
Yes, usually I do, but peeople get tired of mass advocacy, so most
times I would be saying "Linux would be better in this situation," but, in
a situation where the NT proxy has crashed, and 65 students want to know
where the Inet has gone, you just fix the problem...
Brad,
*checks if he has a teaching license* :) No, I'm only 18, so not a
chance :) But, I was one of the more knowledge people in the school about
computers, so the admin asked questions (!) and I generally helped and
made my opinion known :)
Guys,
I may be wandering in a little late (destroyed my mailbox
yesterday, then fixed it) so I'm still catching up on mail.
When i "helped" the NT "Admin" at my High School, and suggested
Linux as a better firewall/router, he nearly fell over, and then quickly
said, "We have to
Rachel,
Because I bought the card OEM, all I recieved was the actual card
and a drivers disk. Knowing me, i promptly lost the drivers disk, but
thats all I recieved. The only playing around with MIDI i've done (i'm
ashamed to say) is playing around with those dorky default Windows RMI and
Rachel,
My Celeron uses a SB 128 ViBRA PCI to play sound (its really a
ES1371). I would be willing to part with it, for either another sound card
that is supported under Linux, and is PCI, or approx. $40-50. The card was
purchased about one year ago for a cost of $120, and i haven't had
14 matches
