Re: M$ to use Corel to get into Linux?
.NET is Microsoft's answer to Java. The problem for MS is how to get it accepted by the Linux/Open Source community. Microsoft can't beat Java unless .NET is accepted by this community. So MS is using Corel as a back door to slide it in. So the question is would you rather use C# and .NET to do basically the same things that you can do with the Java stuff. Of course this has the added benefit (?) of having Bill's stamp of approval... At 02:52 PM 10/12/00 -0700, you wrote: >Ouch!! Talk about insult to injury!

Linux on hardware raid w/o drivers
Hi All, I'm building a server at work. It will have win2000 on it. :( But for the burn in phase, I'm wanted to put on linux to play. It's a dual p3-933 xeon, 2gb of memory, 6 ultra160 18.2GB 15k rpm harddrives in a raid 10 configuration. Obviously something fun to play on. The Ultra160 RAID Controller is an Adaptec (With some DPT in there) 3200S controller. When I boot up the mandrake CD, it says no drives found. I've tried several of the drivers it offers, however no love. I've tried redhat 6.1, as well. Suse reports that I have about 10 different partitions ranging in sizes of 253mb, 9gb and 25gb. They are also on many different controllers: hda, hdb, hdc, sda, and sdb. I actually have 1 RAID controller, 1 on board adaptec ultra160 scsi controller (with the cdrom drive), and an ide controller (with an ide cdrom drive temporarily). I can boot off a dos 7 disk, and see the drive just fine. The controller remaps BIOS Int 13h to itself, which apparently dos uses. I was able to create a 54gb fat32 partition and format it. Dos likes it just fine. How can I get a linux installer to recognize an Int 13 device? While booting off of the CD, with no available temporary harddrive? I could put in an ide harddrive temporarily, but I want to install on to the Ultra 160, Raid 0+1, 15krpm logical drive for obvious reasons. No, sorry, I can't bring this to the clinic! I picked up a sweet all metal steel case from california pc (www.calpc.com, 13-bay rackmount chassis). Thanks, Cory

M$ to use Corel to get into Linux? (fwd)
*the following is from www.nationalpost.com (link found from NewsForge)* October 12, 2000 Microsoft using Corel to ease into Linux, documents hint US$135M injection David Akin Financial Post Corel Corp. may be the tool Microsoft Corp. uses to ease itself into the open source community, according to regulatory documents filed late yesterday. In a 531-page document filed by Ottawa-based Corel with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Corel said it has granted Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft the option to direct Corel to port part or all of Microsoft's next-generation .NET architecture to run on the Linux operating system. Linux is the open source operating system widely seen as a credible and serious rival to Microsoft's server operating systems, particularly Microsoft NT and Microsoft 2000 Server. Moreover, the Linux and Microsoft software development philosophies are diametrical opposites. With Linux, an army of Internet-connected volunteer programmers share the source code, improve it and pass on improvements to that source code, all under the stewardship of Linus Torvalds. Microsoft, on the other hand, uses a proprietary development model in which source code and development strategies are fiercely guarded secrets and viewed only by Microsoft employees. Last week, Microsoft said it would invest US$135-million in cash-strapped Corel. In exchange, Corel said it would commit to developing products consistent with Microsoft's next-generation .NET architecture. But it is now clear Microsoft will use its investment with Corel -- which distributes its own version of Linux and has converted some of its software products like WordPerfect to run on Linux -- to ease into the Linux community. Neither Corel nor Microsoft officials could be reached last night for comment. In the event Microsoft exercises its option -- and the option runs for three years -- to have Corel port part or all of the .NET architecture to Linux, Corel has agreed to put 20 full-time developers and 10 full-time testers on the project.

RE: Showing off linux at work
No you aren't spoiled. Your computer has just been suffering all along. It is not free to express itself. Running the screen saver as a background is pretty neat! Here's another neato thing to show off. You need mpg123 (console mpg player), and some mp3's. One will do, but more is better. >From a console (even a window): mpg123 -Z mp3/* & (ie start playing mp3's in random order in the background) Hit the up arrow, and do it again. And again... And again... And again... My Pentium 200 at home can play 5 at once without skipping a beat. On the 6th one, it starts getting a little chunky. I estimate my p3 at work can play about 15 at once and still be fine. It sounds crazy listening to it, but try that on windows!
