Date: Thu, 02 Sep 1999 08:08:44 -0600
I recently got my wife to move to Linux and she likes it very much.
However, now that she is using Linux she wants to do all her financial
stuff, i.e. Quicken on Linux. I downloaded gnucash some time ago and
can't get it to work due to the various other programs required. Also,
the gnucash.org site appears to be down for some time now.
Has anyone successfully set up gnucash or installed something else
like moneydance? If so, could anyone pass on some complete
instructions? Anyone know why the gnucash site is down?
I'm thinking of just putting on WINE on my wife's computer and just
letting her try to run Quicken or MS My Money that way. Has anyone been
successful in doing this?
Thanks in advance.

One might wonder why you would be in a Linux newsgroup if that is your opinion.
While I'm sure your point is valid, in your opinion, why intice flamers??????

First, you should read the documentation that came with your web server. If,
after reading said documentation, you still have questions, you should then
ask in a news groups that deals with webservers, like
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix, and not operating systems.

the rest). I ran across this on <URL: http://www.miramax.com/> this

overtop of the main column of text (almost all Ziff Davis sites).

you need to add a RELAY entry into your /etc/mail/access file, then
makemap to database. further instructions can be found on the sendmail
website (http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti-spam.html).

you will want to install gcc-2.95.1, gcc-2.95.1-c++ with accompanying
libstdc++, and libstdc++-devel (i think libstdc++ has version
2.10.0). you'll want make and gdb too. as for editor, i like emacs,
although there are those who prefer vi or jed.

I've installed lm_sensors on my beowulf nodes.
the mother boad is an ASUS P2B-D with two P2 400

I've also tried to configuer the i2c-piix4 module

interface (so using the i2c bus)...
this way cat /proc/bus/i2c
shows
i2c-0 smbus SMBus PIIX4 adapter at e800 Non-I2C SMBus
adapter
which seems perfect.
moreover, with this I can
also modprobe eeprom and lm78
that are recognised.
with this
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/chips
contains
256 w83781d-i2c-0-2d
257 eeprom-i2c-0-50
258 eeprom-i2c-0-51
259 lm78-i2c-0-2d
261 w83781d-isa-0290
but sensors choke exacty the same way
on each kind of sensors access
(on the lm78, on the w87781d throug isa or i2c)
meanwhile the data from
the /proc/sys/dev/sensors/*/*
seems perfect
(for lm78 it seems les reliable, but
it shows something similar)
with all of this
any idea...

That's probably an artifact of WP 8's "shadow cursor," which lets you
click to position text anywhere on the page, even in the middle of
"unused" whitespace (like near the right edge of an empty line, or below
the last text in the document). Personally, I don't much care for this
feature, so I've disabled it in whitespace (it's one of the Preferences
items).

Odd. With my system, it works when I first start WP or after I've cut or
cut-and-pasted text using WP's own clipboard. I suspect some strange
interaction with your window manager, or perhaps even your X server. At
least you've got it working, albeit with a peculiar workaround required.

It actually looks like a problem with the locales themselves.
If you use "LC_ALL=de_DE" instead of "LC_ALL=de", it should work.
/usr/share/locale/de doesn't contain the LC_* files, only LC_MESSAGES.

Might not be the answer you expected, but I use RAID controller on that
Linux
Server running ORACLE. Any partition created are based on RAID-5 disks,
even
system and swap. This is not a cheap solution, but works fine and
(assuming the SuSE and
the recommended ICP Vortex controller) is easy to install, since the
controller is detected
and configures at startup time when your're installing Linux.

Sorry. I didn't realize I had to spell it out.
The Game Console / Set-top Box / Amiga NG / Dreamcast / PlayStation II /
Nintendo Dolphin / etc. would be running QNX Neutrino and Photon.
The development environment would be Linux / FreeBSD.
Overtime the MultiMedia Console Box could be self-hosted, networked,
etc.

Just one note...
If you're planning to use this "tool" for telemarketing, I hope that you not
only never find it, but that you also just happen to fall into a pool filled
with Piranhas during your search.
Very hungry Piranhas.
Big ones.
Lots and lots of them.

This is a nice cheap shot. For a better understanding, consider that a C++
programmer will know that you should always write (if, for some insane reason,
you must use malloc() in C++)
int *p = (int *) malloc(sizeof(int));
while any C programmer who re-read things since '90 or so will know it's
int *p = malloc(sizeof(int));
There are a lot of subtle differences in the idiomatic and clear usage of the
languages. People who use C++ are unlikely to appreciate the scope of utility
of function pointers in C, because they've got "better ways to do that", and
won't have bothered to pick up such an obscure and useless feature.

Here's my new insmod mess. I'm still trying to get the remote control

insmod videodev
insmod i2c verbose=1 scan=1 i2c_debug=0

insmod bttv radio=0,1 card=8 pll=1
