Recent studies show that, the average office-worker loose half a day
per week on "computer difficulties". These included:
* computers/applications crashing
* word-documents being bloated beyond usefulness
* macro-viruses
* paperempty on printers (from using word- instead of text-processors)
* security concearns (most notably NetBus-concearns)
But whatever the reason, half a day per work-week is a huge hill of beans.

Well, I just heard of this thing called X, supposedly it's
this graphical thing for Unix, rumour has it there's even some
applications for it. Stuck in the 70's as I am, I don't think
it will ever be of much use to me, but you might want to check it out.

How does memory and disk speed relate to FloatingPoint
performance? This thread has my attention because a friend
at Qualcomm said he got better performance out of a PPro
then a Sparc 10 when doing simulations on voice codecs.
That surprised me and I'd like to know how the Alpha does FP.
Something more logical of a response is needed to be CONSIDERED

This sounds like the problem I had in RH5.2. The MS Intellimouse PS/2 would
work at the console screen and then at the X window screen. But if I exited
X
back to the console the mouse would barf. This mouse has a wheel button
so I downloaded the 'imwheel' program from freshmeat. This program
includes a patched gpm which solved the mouse barf problem. (Note: the
original gpm did not show 'imps2' as a valid mouse type if you run 'gpm -i';
the patched one does.)
Here's the file /etc/sysconfig/mouse file I'm now using:
MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
FULLNAME="Microsoft IntelliMouse (PS/2)"
XEMU3=no

I'm running a USR external (the one that says it needs windows). External
modems, by definition, are hardware based modems, so linux won't have any

Yes, I had done it already. It didn't work ("Bad DMA channel"). I have a

THANKS !!! I had already visited the ALSA home page previously, but didn't

hour to read the instructions and install ALSA. And it works perfectly. I'm
really, really happy. :-)

Subject: Re: Digital Celebris 590 config
Date: 19 Mar 1999 07:45:21 GMT
I have one of these units at home and at work, and have dual P5 133 CPUs in (on)
this system (home). The SCSI chip is a NCR53c810 with BIOS. I have run RedHat
5.2 2.0.36 kernals on this system. The cpu daughter card is capable of running
as a dual CPU system.
**** But DIGITAL (Compaq) won't support the config as such. **** (gotta do the
company thing.)
One thing to make sure of is that the CPU cache module is the Async one instead
of the Sync module. Check the part number on the card (54-23532 with 9 chips in
a row) not the 3 LSI chips. If you do have the sync type remove the cache
otherwise you'll end up with a crashing system. The core clock and divider jumps
are located to the front side and should not prove to be a great brainer (i.e
you bugger much, the system will just not start DON'T run the CPU's fro too long
massivley over clock, they won't anyhow). Make sure all the fans are able to
rotate, the big fan in the fornt of the case is temp controlled by the Power
Supply. My daughter Brd can only clock upto a 133 Mhz P54C CPU, make sure you
try and find like CPU's as best you can. We have an old XL590 with dual CPU's
clocked to 100Mhz run as a general purpose hack for our work group, has 196MB of
memory and several old 7200rpm 4Gb disks. Blows the doors of a simlarly
configured system run as an NT domain controller...

I'd highly recommend a SCSI drive since CPU-usage is much less. A
suitable SCSI card is around 50 $ and a TEAC R55S which I'd suggest
should be available for about 250 bucks.

Hmmm, that is what I meant when I said everything else being equal up
above. Given that an ordinary non-tech person would prefer a gui, which
is where a lot of money is.

I worked my way through school as a lab assistant. For my first year
there the lab was a mixture of Win 3.1, unix, vax, & dos. I started the
job knowing very little. I hated Win 3.1 and its applications, but I
could do things to start helping people who asked things I didn't know.
With the command line software there was only a prompt to stare at most
of the time until I could ask one of the more experienced consultants
where to start.
You are right, GUIs don't make things a breeze and for the long term
future people will need to learn how to use computers. However, that
doesn't mean developers should give up on making things progressively
easier.....even for technical people. The less time you spend learning
one task might be converted into doing, or learning something else.
> Labor saving device != no learning required to use.
I agree, but as long as you are working at making labor saving
equipement you goal is to keep evolving towards equipment that makes a
chore less and less work. That includes finding ways to reduce the
time/effort in getting up to speed on the labor saving device.

I am about to install linux on my sys after being away from it for
about 2 years. I am checking to see what drivers are available for
the hardware I want to run.
I've gotten positive info on my printer and digital cam (thanks

I have a Mustek PlugnScan 1200 III EP flatbed scanner. It is a
parallel port interface, so that should not be a problem.
I checked www.linux.org for hardware drivers, but Mustek isn't listed
as providing drivers.
Any comments welcome!

I have a V.Everything, also upgraded via the official USR Windows95 software
and it connects to my ISP at 40.0 nearly every time using the V.90 protocol.
It is difficult to see the connect speed in Windows. Relying on the system
tray to tell you is not exactly accurate. Note that 52000 is roughly twice
your 26400 rate. That could be a clue that you're not dialing in as fast as
you expect.
Of course, you could have done all this research already yourself and I could
be going on and on about stuff you already know, but I just thought I'd put
in my two cents.
Good luck,

fwiw external modems seem to almost universally fall into category d.
(there is some sort of rockwell interface external which has a

Emil,
Which version of XFree86 are you using? You should get the latest.
I belive XFree86 3.3.3.1 now suports the nVidia TNT chipset in the
SVGA server.

Why not provide us with more information?
Did you read the AWE 64-Howto? If not, why not?
Did you set up isapnp? If not, why not?
Did you compile your kernel with AWE32 support? If not, why not?

All the drivers for the hardware should come with your distribution.
To get the latest video drivers, you go to http://www.xfree86.org.
Your videocard isn't on the supported list, but other cards with the same
chipset are.
You should check to see if your SCSI card is supported.
http://www.redhat.com/support ( go to the hardware compatibiliity list )

Keep windows installed on a partition. You can always nuke it if you need
more space for your linux apps.
