I'm trying to find a nation-wide ISP that has good
coast-to-coast coverage in Canada and in the USA. Of
course, it must be Linux-friendly !
Further, the ISP must have a local number in New-
Brunswick, preferably in Caraquet or at least in
Bathurst.

Subject: Linux box for computer newbies : suggestions please !
Date: 18 Jun 1999 00:10:21 GMT
My parents are now retired and will be traveling a lot.
They will need an inexpensive way to keep in touch and
do basic computing tasks. My mother is a little familiar
with Netscape, but that's about it.
So, I'm thinking about getting a laptop that's a couple
of years old (I could have a good price on a P133 Thinkpad,
20MB RAM and 1.3 GB HD, which should be sufficient, IMHO).
The computer will be mainly used for Internet access.
I pretty much have my mind set on using Linux for this.
Now, keep in mind that my parent are neophytes with
computers, so the prime requirement is ease of use !
I'm leaning toward KDE for the desktop, since It
seems to be most most friendly for beginners. For
WWW, news and e-mail, I'm pretty sure I'll install
Navigator. My mother is already familiar with it (for
WWW, at least). Any other graphical WWW, Usenet and
mail client I should consider ?
They'll possibly need some application suite, for
this, I was thinking about StarOffice. But what about
KOffice ? Is it far enough and easy enough to be used
by beginners ?
Since they'll be away most of the time, a nice touch
would be that I could remotely install software and do
maintenance on the laptop. I think telnet should prove
sufficient, but since I'm not too familar with remote
adminitration, I'd like some advice about this.
They'll be traveling a lot, so an intelligent dialer
would be of big help. What I mean by that is some kind
of dialer that can automatically dials the nearest
branch of the ISP, just by entering the city you're
in. Is there such a dialer for Linux ?
I don't want to start any flamewar, but I'm also
wandering which distribution would be the best for
such a setup. I'm familiar with RedHat and have used
SlackWare in the past, but I was thinking about using
the latest OpenLinux, since it seems they have the best
KDE support and is the easiest one to install, if they
ever run into trouble while away.
Any other advice for such a beginner's machine ?

There are various utilities for capturing part of a screen. I personally
like to use 'import' one of the programs in the ImageMagick suite. I
never tried to capture a whole screen, but let's say I wanted to capture
what netscape was showing, I'd enter the command (from a shell)
"import netscape.png"
Then click in the netscape window and it would save it in png format as
a file, or I could say "import netscape.jpg" if I wanted jpeg format.
If I wanted to print it, I'd use ps (or convert to ps using the imagemagick
'convert' program) then print it using ghostscript.

Here's what I would do: agree to the benchmark, provided that
performance/price ratio is the bottom line. So, even if NT Server comes
out 100x faster than Linux, at $800 per licensed box, versus Linux at $0
per box, why that must make Linux infinitely superior. (But we already
know that.)

Thanks for your suggestion. I have them enabled, so no joy there. But =
I
looked at /usr/X11R6/bin/kde and traced the problem to the following line=
in
function startifaudio()
TESTVAR=3D`grep -A1 "Audio devices" /dev/sndstat | tail -n 1`
in particular, the line
grep -A1 "Audio devices" /dev/sndstat causes the message =
modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-0-6
to appear in /var/log/messages
If I attempt to do
more /dev/sndstat
I get both messages in /var/log/messages:
modprobe: can't locate module sound-slot-0
modprobe: can't locate module sound-service-0
If I try:
echo "1" > /dev/sndstat
I get an error message:
bash: /dev/sndstat: Operation not supported by device
and the two messages given above appear in /var/log/messages.
although it works for
cat "1" > /dev/dsp
Does anybody know what or where these modules are? Are they supposed to=
be
installed as part of kde? Is /dev/sndstat supposed to act this way?

Recent ReiserFS discussions have suggested the idea of pushing recent
updates into NVRAM on motherboards that support this, thereby providing
the recommendation that if you want reliability, buy a MOBO that
supports NVRAM, and use it.
Supposing we could get massively more reliable *and* fast systems as a
result of an extra $100 spent on NVRAM hardware on a server's
motherboard, methinks this could make the inclusion of NVRAM a dominant
factor in "server system selection."
The discussion presently represents "daydreaming" rather than actually
implemented code, but that's where the ideas that get implemented come
from, and the people talking about it *do* plan to implement at least
*some* of the daydreams. And if this were supported, I'd personally be
quite willing to spend an extra $100 on my next motherboard so as to
attain such support...

Before moving to IIS, they ran www.ms.com on 4 Sparcs. (Admittedly the

>ugh.
There's a difference between price and value. If you compare a 500 MHz
PII, or Xeon with a Sun 500 MHz processor purely on MHz and price
alone, then sure the Pentium looks better. But there's more to it than
the raw MHz.
At the (relatively) small business where I work, the primary webserver
is a Sun Sparc 20 with a 60 Mhz processor and 96 Megs/RAM. It's been
there for about a year, replacing it's predecessor, a nearly identical
computer, except with a 30 Mhz processor. The previous one ran for 4
years, going nearly 24/7 during that time, hosting over 200 html
pages, including one site which gets on average 3 million hits/month.
There are also about 200 individual message boards (perl/cgi-based)
which get fairly heavy traffic, about 5 large databases with close to
a grand total of 25 thousand records between them.
The only reason the old one was replaced (with a model almost the
same) was because the motherboard finally gave out. Sure a box with a
30 MHz Intel processor would have cost less (or even one with a 60
Mhz), but I doubt it would have lasted that long, have been that
stable, or as fast (Can a 30-60 Mhz intel board even handle 96
Megs/RAM?) even if it had been running Solaris or Linux. And when it
finally did go down, we were able to get a new one from Sun the next
day.

Really depends upon what you want it for.

Not quite. In the final release, they added a flag and set if to skip the
offending code. It made it quite easy for MS, should they choose to do
so, to reinstate the subroutine with a single byte change.
Your defense is poor - if they were so concerned about dr dos supporting
it, they could simply state it in the readme docs. Instead they
deliberately made sure it wouldn't work. And then they left in the code
to be sure of it. In my view, a more gross offense than much of what's in
the current trial.
Too bad they never found a smoking gun for the lotus problems with dos.

Your logic is even worse. You note above that the subroutine was skipped.
Did they reinstate that routine? I would have thought that a prudent
manufacturer would have to be sure they could support it. If they didn't,
that would leave them open to lawsuits in the litigious USA.

I've been using Partition Magic since v2.x and never had a
problem with it. But I have heard of problems from people I
trust, so I do backup before using it.

Let's see: My way 1.5hrs to backup, run Partition Magic to
do whatever it is I need, reboot, if it works, I'm home
free; if not another 1.5hrs to restore from the tape. That
means the best case takes 1.5 hours; worst case 3 hours.
Your way: backup for 1.5hrs, repartition, then restore for
another 1.5hrs. That's 3 hours minimum, no matter how you
cut it. I figure I can shave 1.5 hours off your time using
Partition Magic, and if for some reason it doesn't work I'm
no worse off than if I did it your way. And in either case
I end up with a current backup on tape, which is a Good
Thing to have whether or not you are repartitioning your
system.

No, neither a symlink nor a pipe (mknod p).
On my system (which is older, so it might be different), /dev/printer is
a Unix Domain Socket (UDS) file. You cannot create this with mknod.
The lpd has to create it itself, and then it listens here for connections
from the local host.
Regarding the original post: Make sure lpd is running (as root),
and netstat -an shows a LISTENING "Unix domain socket" at /dev/printer.

I am running RedHat 5.2 and Squid 2.2 STABLE2 w/ SquidGuard redirecter.
The server is sitting behind a Cisco 1600 w/ cisco's firewall software.
Everything has been working great. However I have a user that needs to

have bypassed the proxy and successfully accessed the page, so I'm

Does anyone have any ideas?

Mike,
If you deleted the setup partition on the hard drive you're going to
have to download the setup stuff from Compaq. If not, just hit delete
or is it f10? (it IS one of 'em) as the machine boots. You may get a
blinking block in the upper right hand corner that lets you know when to
do it.
