Could you install from another image (borrow it! or an old beta image) on
qemu, and change the product ID? (hope is legal... 2nd thought: hope is not
ilegal :D afterall)

  No one would use lossy compression on medical x-rays.



lossy jpeg conforms to the DICOM Standard


Before I had a working linux viewer, just wanted to look at images.


If you haven't to see series exams (aka MR, CT) display from ImageMagick
works fine (it also works for serie files, but manipulating DICOM tags is
not its best feature; cross-referencing could be a must even for
radiologists w/ lot experience, hence aeskulap).

GIMP can aquire and export DICOM format files.

dcmtk contais conversion binaries (DICOM to much more than I've needed). ctn
is server oriented, but it is based on dcmtk, and pays back in turn imagectn
database to dcmtk. If you're interested you should try Pablo Sau (somewhere
on sourceforge.net) work, who made up an live Koppix based CD (a RIS, in
fact).

I am not a programmer, neither I have too much time to spent on Internet,
but medical debian seems to be rather obsolete.


I am not

nor pretending to be a radiologist. Nor would a radiologist read a 500x700
pixel image, jpegged or raw, on the screen (what the windows program saves
a
jpeg is apparently the screen image, not a compression of the main data).



compression is also part of the DICOM standard. A DICOM MIME type also
exists.
(DICOM is transmission oriented, and peer-to-peer oriented yet; I haven't
seen to much DICOM-node setup interfaces to use anything else then IP to
identify a peer on the LAN, though an AE --application entity-- Title is
compulsory to identify a node as DICOM-node)

Re: what applications use famd?

KDE and Gnome both use it and since it provides notification for
file system changes it serves a useful function. For example if you have
Amarok or Rhythmbox open and from another application or from the
command line copy a song into your music directory the applications are
notified of the change and update their music databasee.



... or, if you want to umount/eject (right click on gnome/KDE desktop/panel
icon), you will get an error message... checking w/ lsof you will find that
the lone thing that locks the mount point is the fam daemon. :D

In strict terms I don't know if fam or gamin are required by any of

these things that depend on having one of them or if it's just expected
that most people will want the functions they provide if certain
packages are installed.

Later, Seeker

Re: What is the best way to install Samba

Static IP is probably your best bet, although I think you can
get away with having your samba server on a dynmanic IP since
it will broadcast itself to your XP machine.



Schmity has could have 2 problems: routing the SMB packages, and installing
samba itself. The second one depends on what he wants to do w/ samba (share,
domain etc.); first depends on [broad]band router, what side of the router
the nodes are, and maybe more.

 developers! Nice job.


Indeed

'apt-get update' will just update the package *list*. You still need to

run 'apt-get update' (or dist-upgrade) to update the packages.



   
# apt-get upgrade
after apt-get update
apt-get may be replaced by aptitude. It's trendy, at least, but not last

Try looking at cron-apt.  Using cron-apt is a great way to always have the
latest package info, though I don't suggest changing the configs to have
cron-apt automatically install things for you:  You should do the
installing yourself so you have some idea what may have changed if
something breaks.



I intend to deploy cron-apt to automatically install packages, on a certain
number of desktops. Of course I intend to do the same on servers.

Is any collection of horror stories about cron-apt?

Hello.  This is really basic in regard to all the other mail I've seen so
far here - but, here goes...

New to Debian.  Trying to install Sarge from DVD on my Thinkpad (Z60t).
 At the partitioning prompt - only two options: completely overwrite the HD
(guided?) or manual configuration.



If you have no unsaved data on your second partition, you may delete it from
XP; After this you should see a third option, the one about free space. In
manual instalation you could also see a so called hidden partition, used by
laptop manufactureres for some mundane system tasks. If you still want to
use the original operating system, let it untouched.

Debian is good.

If you want to rather accomodate w/, should be better to try an Debian Live
flavour first.
