Re: Recommendations for cheap Linux-compatible Opteron mobo

2004-10-14 Thread Alex Perry
If you want a AMD64 3000+, 60 GB hard drive, 512 MB memory basic server, 
two hour UPS, keyboard, scrollwheel mouse, etc ...
the e-machines M6805 laptop is available from best buy for $1100 or so 
at the moment.

The complexities of accelerated 3D, wireless networking and other 
desktop peripherals are irrelevant if you're going to use it as a 64 bit 
server.  As a bonus, since it is a mobile processor, you can speedstep 
it from 3000+ to 2700+ and even down to 1300+ equivalent speeds.  Really 
handy.  Offhand I don't recall whether it uses ECC memory, but I'd 
assume not.

 The netboot installer loads some kernel modules (and installer components)
from the mirror, so it has to match the installer.  That means you have to
tell it you're installing unstable.  Use the "go back" option to get to the
main menu...

 Once you've downloaded the installer components, you could go back and change
to installing sarge again, except that there is no amd64 sarge archive.
It's actually a symlink to sid, or something like that.  Andreas (IIRC) said
he had his own AMD64 Sarge archive, but I don't think he said he was going
to put it on Alioth.

 The path is /debian for the regular version, or /gcc-3.4 for the gcc 3.4
version.

There's
deb http://bach.hpc2n.umu.se/gcc-3.4 unstable main contrib non-free

 Get the installer components from the same mirror as the netboot image,
since the kernel modules have to match the kernel.

 In that spirit, I'll reply to another message from this thread here,
instead of in a separate message:  I said you could use ECC RAM with
Athlon64, and someone said you have to use ECC RAM with Opteron.  (Both of
those things are true.)  My point was that if you wanted a server with ECC
RAM to prevent crashes due to cosmic rays, you don't need an Opteron,
because Athlon64 (even the socket 754 version) can use ECC RAM.  i.e. ECC
RAM doesn't require Opteron.

 I thought AMD64 was such a new architecture that a lot of people are just
getting them, and so on.  Maybe people should be reading linuxhardware.org
or something, but I think it's better for people to post here and get
steered towards good hardware (with Free drivers when possible) than for
them to go out and buy bad stuff (esp. ATI Radeon > 9200) and then ask how
to make it work with Debian :(

 I think it would be good if an official Debian person would weigh in with a
comment on where to draw the line in terms of threads going off on tangents
about hardware (or even being purely about hardware in the first place)...

so the question as someone have wrotten before is to put the via82cxxx BEFORE

openoffice.org-debian-files is in the openoffice.org folder and also in
the pure64 archive. You need the one from the openoffice.org folder.
That one from the pure64 archive needs a newer openoffice.org. Try 

apt-get install openoffice.org-debian-files=1.1.2-2+1.0.1

Then you should be able to install openoffice.org-amd64.

I was refering as I clearified in [1] about the improvements as you refer 
after. We are in october 04, and the improvements of the OpenOffice (for 
example)  are not reflected in the Debian port when in theory are done.

Ubuntu has an cd for installation with a complete distro, and pure64 has a bit 
difficult installation...

There's something wrong in some part. I'm not saying that Ubuntu doesn't 
contribute back to debian. Maybe Debian is not taking the contributions of 
ubuntu  If I'm saying that is a pity, I'm refering that they are done it 
better. I think that debian is the best distro by several reasons. But if 
some distro (worst if is derived from debian) do something better that the 
"original", ur. Ok,? I'm talking about that, not if the Ubuntu's guys are 
hiding or not contributing things to debian. And, as we are talking of free 
software, if someone do something better than you, "use it",  it's ~GPL .

That's all.

   Yes, it's perfectly possible to do so. I've run Debian in a chroot
on a SuSE box before, and I currently have a Debian 32 bit chroot on
my Ubuntu 64 bit installation (admittedly, the difference in the
latter case is small, but...).
