I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail, if the contents does not meet with your personal and business ethics, I appologise in advance. I am barrister Steve Okolo ( attorney at law), I represent Alhaji Ishmaila Gwarzo estates. Alhaji Gwarzo was the chief security advicer of the then military leader of this country(Nigeria) in the person of Late General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th of June 1998. With the advent of a new democratic dispensation in the country under the leadership of Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo (Rtd), my client has come under severe persecution due to the sensitive position he held in the last military regime, presently he is under house arrest restricted only to the confines of his village. The main purpose of this mail is to intimate you of a business proposal that might be of interest to you. My client has informed me of the existence of funds deposited with a security company abroad. This fund came about as part of security votes that were allocated to my client's portfolio during his tenure as chief security advicer to the then president. What happened was that he had part of the funds transferred from the vaults of the Central Bank Of Nigeria to this security outfit with the aim of purchasing arms and ammunitions for the personal security outfit of the then president. But before the purchase could take place the president died. my client has deceided to keep this for himself as all his properties has been confisticated by the present regime. But due to his incarceration he cannot travel out and effect the change of possession to his benefit. I have been mandated by my client to source for a foreign partner that can help him facilitate the change of possession. the deposit certificate and the code needed for theexecution of this endeavour are in my possession. my client is also well disposed towards reaching an agreement with you that will be at par with the help required of you. The funds in question is USD33.6M (Thirty-Three Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States dollars Only).

LINUX VS Windows as a server
Hi
I was wondering if anyone on the list knows of any statistics that
show LINUX's growth as a server VS Micro$oft Windows. My VP who is a rare
management type (he really does do some thinking) wants to push to get LINUX
as our default server configuration, but is having trouble with the brain
washed executive staff that is true to the mighty Microsoft monopoly. I
would appreciate any information.
Thanks

RE: Sparc 10 install from CDROM
ok I will give that a try tonight, and then try the image Ben gave me, thanks all. Rich -Original Message- From: Terry Dabbs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 9:49 AM To: Sharpe, Richard Cc: 'Ben Collins'; debian-sparc@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Sparc 10 install from CDROM I was in the same boat and discovered a very surprising fix on my Sun4m configuration, I do not guarantee it will work for Sparc10 systems: At the OK prompt I tried "boot cdrom" 20-30 times with all three install disks and got similar results to you. What finally worked made little sense, but it worked. I changed the default boot command to "cdrom", and simply typed "boot". I know, I know, this is "the same thing", but it worked the first time with the cdrom as the default device. All I had to do was choose "s" for scsi when the prompt came and I got the install screen instead of init errors. Of course, I did have to take the cd out and reset the default to disk on reboot. I have a second 600LM and it reacted exactly the same way... Good luck.

I've never seen one that has trouble with non-SUN OS's. Never heard of such a thing. I suspect you just need to read the documents from the install images. Quite simply, you need to do "boot cdrom".

People keep asking this question and I have always kept my mouth shut because I feel, as Joshua apparently does, that it is a fairly loaded and/or political and/or subjective question. But this morning I have decided to speak my mind. Please indulge me in a bit of history; I feel it's crucial to the point once I actually get there :) In my larval days, like almost everyone else at the time, I ran Slack on x86 hardware. But for the past several years I have completely eschewed Intel hardware completely, using various SPARC, PPC, and m68k machines to get my work done, and I have run Linux on all of them. My first non-x86 install was Debian Slink on a SPARCstation LX, and I have run Debian on every machine since then, but I have also played with RedHat, Yellow Dog, SuSE, and NetBSD. With the exception of Debian, every other distro felt distinctly "second-class", with some packages being unreliable compared to their x86 cousins, or just missing entirely. Installations were often rough and/or freakish compared to x86 (and I know this is largely inescapable (especially on old-world PPC) but Debian always felt dang smooth in comparison). Sometimes things just wouldn't work, and there was no sense from the documentation that it ever would. In short: Debian rules, given that you are the sort of person who doesn't want to be coddled by a shiny install/management system (which I personally feel is a waste of time and misguided effort) but instead wants to get work done, can read and think for yourself, and wants a distro that "feels" the same on any given piece of hardware. -- Shawn Boyette | He had reached the stage in a young man's life when [EMAIL PROTECTED] | the grimness of the general human situation becomes | evident; and the realization of this causes the | ambition to halt a little | -- Thomas Hardy, "Return of the Native" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How does Debian Linux compare to the "others" on Sparc
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has compared Debian to SuSe or Red Hat
Linux and how does Debian stackup against those, I am ready to rid my
sparc's of Solaris and am trying to find a good implementation of Linux, I
use Red Hat on the Intel box's I have but have not tried any on sparc.
Thanks
