I used to have slow startup problems with StarOffice on Pentium 133
with 64MB RAM system with IDE drives. Now with kernel 2.2.x (I am
running 2.2.2 now), StarOffice (version 5.01) loads much faster. You
should upgrade to the latest 2.2 kernel to get much better swap (and
thus StarOffice) performance. I have tested by running at the same
time StarOffice, 2 separate netscape 4.5 processes (by 2 different
users), gimp, image magick and a large number of other memory hogging
programs on my system. Still the system performance was very much
usable.

I agree... I wouldn't power down the disk drives, since syslodg might do some
occasional writes, and there are likely to be some cron jobs running that need
to access the disk at certain intervals. This could cause frequent spin-up and
spin-down cycles; it is very bad. Plus, when the HD is running at full speed,
it has momentum like a flywheel, and the bearings probably won't wear down much
at full speed. Every time the HD has to spin-up and spin-down, it takes so
much energy and mechanical wear to obtain that momentum.

Sane only works with real scsi cards. Those proprietary

and ended up having to get a real scsi card. Is the Hp
scanner a real scsi scanner? A cheap scsi card should
only be about $30.
As far as the "sg" devices go, you need to have "generic scsi"
support enabled in your kernel.

Does anyone else think this would be a good idea? Keep the i386 tree, and
add an i686 tree that is optimized for P-II/Celeron/P-III processors.
This might be a pain in the butt for the mirrors (more hard drive space
used), but for some mirrors this would be just fine. This would also make
Linux higher performing for all the people with flashy new Pentium-III
machines...

In looking through the source code, it looks like v_midi.o is created by
the loopback driver. I saw some messages on dejanews about softoss, and
people were wondering where v_midi.o came from. I'm still trying to
figure out how to use the software wavetable. It looks like the settings
for it are hardcoded in softoss.c, because make menuconfig asked me no
questions about it. I noticed in /var/log/warn that it "Cannot open
synth device#0 (-6)", which apparently is the software wavetable. I have
a 12 Meg patch set.
Gonna work on it till I get it figured out, unless somebody already did
so.

I just create aliases to use commands with obscure options.
If you want to create a little shell script called setup that asks you
want to do with RPM files, it's pretty easy to do. I've not bothered
to do it myself because aliases do the job for me.
Tools *do* exist in Linux to make things much easier, but you have to
be somewhat familiar with the basic concepts behind an advanced command
line to know what they are. The approach isn't the same as Windows, but
it's not INTENDED to be the same as Windows.
Some of us used several different platforms which only had a CLI before
the Windows platform even existed, so I suspect our experience base was
quite different initially from a user who was weaned on Windows.
Quite frankly, I really don't comprehend why Linux (or the command line
in general) seems to be so "hard to use" for some people. :-( I find
it refreshing myself compared to the usually-more-restrictive GUI.

True, which is why I don't recommend Linux as a replacement for Windows
for the masses, and why I wish the mainstream press would tone down the
"Linux revolution" rhetoric and start EDUCATING readers rather than
tossing out tasty sound bytes.

I think it is safe to say that at the moment RedHat's RawHide
is the only distribution that is using glibc 2.1. Your best
bet when downloading from rpmfind.net is to stay away from
these rpms. I generally grab the version immediately preceeding
the RawHide one.

Ya know, in RedHat 5.1 and up, I find it useful to go into the 'setup' utility
and scroll down to the last listing where you can configure X. It seems to
autodetect many chipsets really well, then you just find a compatible monitor
and try probing, if that fails then just select your own options. Good luck.

The problem you are having with red hat linux 5.2 and configuring a bus mouse is

I was considering installing a serial mouse, and it seems from the other posts

Most program support geometry settings in either .Xresource or on the command

where these are the x,y coordinates of the upper left corner of the window.
Remove this line and add something like
xdvi*geometry=+10+10
Alternatively, you can probably enter these values on the command line as well:
