You might want to have a look at PHP. It's great for dynamic pages with
a connection to a database. PHP could be compiled as a modle for apache
or as a standalone CGI executable.

Sometimes it is better to buy from a local seller, however it is
probably not the cheapest solution. It is mostly easier to complain at
the local seller and you carry the stuff you bought out from the store
yourself.

This is always a problem when buing computers. Only a few days after you
bought your machine you will find another one which is better and
cheaper.

There is one more advantage with building your own PC: You really get to
know your PC and will know exactly what to replace and how to replace it
the day you want to upgrade your PC.

I had a similar problem and fixed it by turning off my Pnp in the bios. My
Compaq was not initializing the card and Linux could not. Windows handled it
all by itself. My windows still works, with no related problems, since turning
off the Pnp in the bios. When Pnp is turned off in the bios, the bios knows to
initialize the card before going to the OS.

If Sorenson and Apple chose not to blow us off, Xanim would
likely do complete QT4 by now. Podlipec even is willing to
BUY specs, so I doubt it is for lack of effort.

Is it possible to install Corel Linux 1.1, or any other version of Linux for
that matter, from a Hard Drive instead of from a CD. I download the image
file and managed to extract the contents onto my HD (still waiting for
delivery of CD Burner).
I put the data on a FAT16 Partition and made a Linux boot Floppy, but have
no clue on what I can change on the boot floppy to point to my partition
instead of my CD. Eager to join you Linux Heads, so any info would be
appreciated

Hi:
I'm looking for Linux software. Where can I find software on CD? There
is the downloading option, but for me that is impractical for large
programs. For example, where could I get my hands on Star Office on CD?
The local stores in this area don't sell much at all in Linux except the
actual Linux distributions, and WordPerfect Office 2000. I live in

First I was going to say "cable from drive to sound card"--but you
said that. Darn.
Then I was going to say "what kind of drive is it?"--you said SCSI.
OK.
How about this: I have a similar problem with my MP3 ripping software
not being able to access CDs in the drive. I found I had to do two
things. 1) Enable "generic" SCSI devices in the kernel. 2) Run the
program as root.
This second is puzzling--I know for sure this used to work, but I
don't remember when that was. It could have been a kernel problem, it
could have been something else. It is NOT a permissions problem.
Anyway, try logging in as root and see what happens.

After reading all the replies, seems that most linux C programmers code
much better than me, since I always have to debug at least some small part
of my code. And just syntax highlighting isn't enougth for me. vi, mc,
pico... aren't IDEs, as are KDevelop, xwpe, gIDE, rhide and wxStudio.
Certainly syntax highlighting is very desirable, as is a friendly debbuging
frontend. Althought I'm comfortable with line mode debugging, is much
faster for me with a tidier environment in text mode. Nothingh fancy nor
graphical. May be I've been with DOS TC++ for many years now :-).
Right now I'm using xwpe, that resembles TC and have a nice looking.
I tried rhide before, but was unable to compile it.
Links to KDevelop, xwpe, gIDE, rhide and wxStudio IDEs can be found at:
http://www.identicalsoftware.com/xwpe/idelinks.html
I'll be glad to knowabout others. It's strange that this topic can't be
found in the FAQ. Isn't?
I haven't notice about Source Navigator. Will take a look. Thanks.

By far the most common reason for not receiving packets from a NIC is having
the driver use one interrupt line whilst the card is using a different one. In Linux
the /proc/interrupts and ifconfig will report which interuupt the driver has registered
with the kernel but that doesn't mean the card is configured to generate that
interrupt.
It is also not unkown for cards to forget their settings so the next thing to do would
probably to check the card settings with the 3com setup utility (you would probbably
have to boot DOS from a floppy to do this unless you have DOS or windows on
another partition.

Both are about the same.
You can get a decent GUI front end for both, like pgaccess for
PostgreSQL, or xmysql, or mysqladmin for MySQL. I think Webmin can
manage both as well.
And if you want to use it with a web server, use Roxen, it'll hook to
both MySQL and PostgreSQL, IMAPd automatically. No need to mess around
like with Apache, no modules to deal with, browser configure everything,
multi-client accounts, virtual domains, mailbox, ftp, multi-languages
support, testing new pages live on line without distrubing the public
accessing pages, cache et el and much more.
What's the most popular doesn't mean it's the best. ;-)

DUMP anything that has any association with Red Hat, and compile from
source, and you'll be happy.
Compile from source is actually VERY SIMPLE and EASY.
.RPM stands for "Red Hat's Package Management."
And Red Hat is famous for buggie, crappy, unfinished products. And try
to hide behind the disguise of being on the "bleeding edge" when it
broke.
If you choose Red Hat, you might as well stay with Windoz. Even Win 9.x
is better than Red Hat, according to bugtraq.

I wonder if there are any tools for Linux to reverse engineer Windows
.exe and .dll files. I mean something that doesn't require VMWare. I
mean something where you simply load the appropriate .exe, .dll, and .vxd
files (including the ones from the Windows OS) and the program then
analyzes the execution (by running it in a VM) to generate a
specification, or better yet, a C source code output. Something that
is usable anyway.
Seems like something to think about.
