I am a newbie to linux/networking so bear with me...
Can someone point me in the right direction for using my linux box as a
gateway for the Winblows computers on my LAN? I want to stay away from a
proxy [Squid] if possible. Someone mentioned NAT to me, but is there another
way?
TIA,

O.K., I know this is probably an impossible question to answer, but what
the hay.
Would anyone care to compare--either quantitatively or
qualitatively--the number of mind hours that have gone into developing
Linux as an OS verus what has gone into developing Windows as an OS?
I'm writing a magazine article for a trade magazine and don't know much
about this stuff. I've heard people call Linux more reliable than
Windows. If true, it seems to me that this could be because a) Linux is
better designed b)it attempts to do less, c) more people have invested
time in making it work and/or c)smarter people (and, hey, let's say
better looking while we're at it) have invested time in making it work
(I guess there's some overlap with "a)" here).
I thought I'd make a meager attempt to evaluate the possibility of
"c"--although if anybody wants to cast a vote or express a thought as to
the other options (or to propose alternatives), I'd be interested to
read. Thanks for any thoughts.

Look at the output of /opt/trend/ISBASE/IScan.BASE/perfmon
to see what the iscan process are doing. All should say OK.
If you lots in EXIT state and they are not

The target you are trying to make is 'disk.com'. Since this is a diagnostic
tool which does not link with anything, it may be safely removed from the
"all:" line in the Makefile.
The problem is your as86 is out of date. Older versions of as86 do not
support the .asciz directive. as86 is part of the bcc package. I have seen
it distributed variously as 'dev86' or 'bin86'.

Yes, after the 6.2 upgrade it is probably starting both via inetd

I can say for sure that it is not b. You could make an argument for c
but it is hard to say who is smarter and who has put in more hours. The
most proximate explanation is a. Linux started out with a better design
and has built upon that ever since; Windows started with something mediocre
and has built upon that ever since.

Yes, Linux wins as it's a world wide effort.
They have in-excess of 100,000 people working on Linux world wide.
Microsoft has 17,500 people of which a fraction actually code.

Yes this is true. Linux is better designed.

No! Amazingly it actually does more.

Discounting the sillyness, let's say that the intellects are equal.
Linux is better for the following reasons.
#1. Everybody who hacks code for Linux put's their name with that
code for all the world to read. Microsoft employee's don't do
that.
If you put your stamp on something for the world to read, you
better do your best. Your image is at stake.
#2. Linux is open source and Microsoft is not. If there's a bug
in the code, people will find it and submit a patch or a coding
suggestion to the author. Patches are written and the corrected
code is available world wide in typically one day's time.
Microsoft accepts bug reports and then mixes them all together in
one large service pack. Certain patches have a tendency to defeat
others so the process is much larger, more time consuming, and
more
expensive to accomplish. Thus the chance for error is greater
thus
leaving the client with unfinished or unworking product.
A Linux implementation is more segregated where the Microsoft
implementation
is more integrated. If a Linux patch fails it won't take the
entire
operating system down. If a code patch fails in a .dll in a
Microsoft
OS, the operating systems integrity is at stake. This can
sometimes
lead to the imfamous blue screen at worst and at best will lead
to multiple services becomming inoperable.

It is my belief that anyone who has attempted to study Linux development
and the GNU free software license will see the immediate advantages in
Linux.
They will experience these advantages and advancements.
They will come to realize that Linux is overtaking Microsoft in
technology.
That this leadership will be seen this year and for every year
thereafter.
That coders working together in cooperation worldwide are developing
software at a faster rate than Microsoft can manange to do.
That innovation is becomming a world wide thing rather than a corporate
model.
I make example of the new 2.4 kernel, KDE2, Linuxconf, Lothar, Webadmin,
so on and so forth and more comming every month.
Microsoft has topped out on the ideas market.
And they are also out of manpower to fight the world wide system too.

Not wanting to do your job for you, I'll ask leading
questions.
Linux is descended from what operating system (OS)?
That precursor OS is how old?
That precursor OS was or was not available in source code
in many (most?) colleges and universities with good to
excellent Computer Science departments?
There are how many other open source descendents from the
precursor OS? And they're how old?
Flip side: how many programmers does Microsoft admit to
having working on Windows? How long has Windows been in
existence? Do versions prior to 3.0, 3.1, 95 count? Has any
piece of Windows ever been open sourced?
Answer these, and you'll get an idea about the relative
mind-hours comparison. Using a biological metaphor, Windows
is highly bred for a rather narrow set of environments
(there are Alpha (and Mips?) ports). Linux is the product
of several dozen generations in a much, much broader set of
environments. Which is likely to be more robust?

/etc/rc.d/init.d/kudzu is the main script, but don't delete it. Go into

Ok, so in short, writing works but fixating and blanking fail. Do you have
any other devices on that same scsi card? I'm asking because some devices
refuse to release the SCSI bus until they have completed whatever command
they were given (there is an actual term for this that escapes me at the
moment). You might not notice this during a write because you are only
waiting for a small chunk of data to transfer to the drive's internal cache
but both blanking and fixating are just a single command and can take quite
a long time to complete. I havn't actually seen this happen on SCSI cd
writers but It is a common problem with scanners and IDE cd writers with
another drive on the same controller. You might want to check your scsi
card's bios settings (and manual) for an option like "Allow Disconnection"
and maybe see if there is a related option for the driver for your card.

According to the info-documentation for GNU tar, the size of each file
is stored as a 12-byte integer. This is approximately 7.9x10^28 bytes,
or 79 octilion bytes. I don't think anybody is likely to encounter this

Surely a distro is only a newbie distro if it works on that newbie's machine
first time?
That could be any of the distros out there, it is dependant on your
particular machine's config
and whether the distro has built in support for your hardware or not.
I've previously installed Red hat 5.2 and 6.0 - 5.2 worked sort of & 6.0
crashed and burned.
I moved to Caldera2.2 and got it going ok first time.
However only after 3 months of trying did I get my sound card, dial up
networking, mounting Vfat32 disks and numerous other things correctly
set-up. As I stated above if I had used a distro like mandrake7.0 to start
with I'd be three months ahead by now.
I also tried Turbo Linux 6.0a it's different to the others but worked.
Mandrake 7.0. Is definitely an improvement on older distributions.
It offers a lot of choice to the newbie gnome, KDE and lots of already
updated software.
Let's face it Mandrake is Redhat with lots of updates applied and some nice
additional touches.
(Graphical install - definitely a winner in my book)
Mandrake took me 4 attempts to get it working on an old works gateway
machine PIII 366MHZ.
I found the problem was simply the installer just don't like you changing
your mind half way through.
I now have a multiple booting NT4.0/dos6.22/Mandrake PC - cool.
On my home PC (AMD K6 II 350) It took one go to get all.
i.e sblive value, 3COM100MB/s network card (3c509XL),
TNT Nvidia AGP graphics card (diamond Viper 550) and dial-up networking
all functioning correctly first time without any changes needed at all.
Just as a matter of interest I've worked in the industry for about 15 years
and have recently
been involved in a year long move to NT4.0 from Unix character based
technology
and I really think that NT4.0 isn't a newbie distro either - in fact a pile
of ____ springs to mind.
To get it to work without fault is an achievement in itself and something I
would never recommend to a newbie user.
Just my little bit,

I have installed an Epson Stylus Color 800 on both linux (RedHat 6.x)
and Win98/NT4/2000 (don't ask). I had great luck both ways. Currently,
I print via Samba in RH 6.2 to a Win2K print server. I had it the
other way around before, and it worked fine. You can probably pick one

Got to be real careful with the CPU heatsink and fan. I've just upgraded to an
AMD-K6/2 550 which runs about 42C at the moment. A cable snagged the fan on the
heatsink and the temperature went up to 68C. Crash.
Anybody know how much punishment the AMD CPU can take before it's toast? It seems
happy at the moment. Is there any Linux software which can monitor the CPU
temperature? Will Linux halt the CPU when idle or is additional software needed?

Thanks Justin. I did find some info on the Squid maillist, but it was bad
news. It doesn't look like password authentication and the transparent proxy
functionality can work together

If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks again,
Dave
