Hi,
I'm wondering what IDE you are using for the coding and debuging?
Any IDE environment that you suggest or don't like?
The first such thing I tried, is source-Navigator from RedHat, which
seemed great but gave me lots of headache, even during the
compilation phase. I still can't get it going after several
bug-fixing. I'm giving it up and now hesitate to try another one.
So, I think I'd follow the popular recommendation first.
What's your comments on, sniff+, code crusader, C-Forge IDE,
CodeWarrior, gIDE & others?
Which of them has the following features:
- code cross reference (where use, where define...)
- multi file search
- advanced diff
- support C/C++ & Java
- better works on both Linux & Solaris
- ...

Subject: How to compile wi/ optimization?
Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 04:47:24 GMT
I am a relative newbie to linux, and have mostly been installing things from
rpms, but I am hearing a lot of "compile yourself, it will be faster,
optimized for your machine, etc" I have been building a few things from
source lately, mostly Qt and KDE, but I am wondering how I can make sure that
everything is being optimized properly. Do the configure scripts bundled wi/
most software automatically detect what architecture I am using and turn on
the right optimizations, or do I have to go through and do this myself? What
compiler or configure options are used to turn on optimizations?
Thanks,
Nathan

Subject: Multithreaded RPC Server Question
Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 04:56:14 GMT
Hello,
Is there a way to write a multithreaded server to
service SUN RPCs? I need to write a service that
would handle short requests from a few hundreed
clients on an MP box and do that as efficiently as
possible, and hopefully scale. I am sure I was
not looking hard enough, but I had trouble finding
a way of doing that. I could only find iterative
examples. Thanks for any help.

Subject: HELP!! Partition Magic Error 105. PartitionInfo inside: Please look!!
Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 05:34:01 GMT
I'm trying to recover my partition. I had it split up my 6GB HD into 2.5GB Windows98
and
3.5GB Linux (Mandrake 7.1). I just recently could not boot up into Linux. I got this
error
during bootup:
> Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
So, I was going to just remove the Linux partition and freshly install LM 7.2
But, when I run Partition Magic Pro 6.0 in DOS, I get Error 105:
> Error 105 Partition starts on wrong boundary
>
> Cause of this problem:
> The hard-disk partition table contains erroneous values. PartitionMagic expects

> PartitionMagic were to make any modifications it might cause loss of data.
> Therefore, PartitionMagic refuses to recognize any of the hard disk·s partitions.
So what can I do to resize my Windows98 partition to the full size of the HD without
damaging the Win98 partition?
Here's the PartitionInfo output:

Hi,
I have used both these distros, as well as others, I started with
Caldera 2.3, just to get me into Linux, I have one of those Dummies
books that came bundled with it, then I downloaded and burnt
Mandrake7.1, I used this for a while, I found it was very much
configured so you can jump in and use it. Which could be why some
people say it gets in the way. I then went on a quest to learn how to
better administer my Linux box, so I bought a RedHat book to help me
out the MD7.1, this book came with RedHat 6.2, so I tried that too,
Redhat is alright, I hate GNOME as a default desk. Redhat has nothing
special to offer, same as MD7.1 but with less bells and whistles,
didn't like RedHat, I then tried Debian, took me 3 installs to get it
right, all text based, whereas all the rest were GUI, after I
successfully installed it, I booted up into Afterstep, it takes a while
to get the hang of all the configuration, as it all needs to be done
with vi, you can install Linuxconf if you want, not installed by
default though. I like Debian for it package management system, the
menuing system, I never have to make a menu entry if I install a .deb
package, I like Debians init format, and modules config, it is much
earier to understand than all the rest. No unecessary junk is installed.
While I was using Debian, I installed Slackware and tried it out for a
bit, found it to be a very manual system, even when it comes to
installing new software, it all needs to be configured manually. I
didn't like the init structure. Apart from that once it was there it
never changed.
I also tried Corel for about 5 mins, until I figured out that every
reboot it resets and change you have made anywhere.
I still use Debian, and feel that I would be disadvantaged if I
uninstall it, Debian is cool.

try running fdisk /mbr, then just plain fdisk and see if you can delete the non-dos
partition. If not, try
running Partition Magic again and see if you get that error again after rewriting the
boot sector (fdisk /mbr).
I'm not saying this is the answer, it's just where I'd go next.
hope it helps

Have you tried to restart it?
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart
Or the correct path to lpd depending on distro.

I've had this same error on more than one occasion, the fix is simple though
destructive.
you definately have to use fdisk to delete the linux partition, it shows up
as a non dos partition in fdisk. after deleting the second partition, use
Partition magic to resize your primary partition or simply recreate your
linux partition.
(fdisk /mbr might work, but I wouldnt count on it.)
