Re: [expert] Sendmail vs Postfix!!
Nopostfix is over an order of magnitude faster than sendmail NoPostfix is far more secure and a hell of a lot easier to configure than sendmail As an anecdotal note, at the ISP I used to work for we replaced 5 Sparc Ultra 2 mail servers running sendmail with one very lightly configed E4500(was a firesale box, and we could not afford to add any hardware to it, so it was stuck at 2GB of ram and 2 processors) running postfix Our sendmail guru fought tooth and nail to avoid changing over, until he started working with postfix and realized just HOW much faster and easier to configure it really was. --Dave Ing.Israel Garcia Alvarez typethed the following... >Hi: > >I've got two questions! >Do you think sendmail is faster than postfix as MTA's?

Re: [expert] Overload
It depends, I liked it, but after playing with the M15 build that came out the other day I think I prefer M15 to N6PR1. They are both very close to being "good enough" to replace 4.72 as my only browser though. YMMV though.the builds before N6PR1 and M15 were not very stable on my particular system. --Dave vern typethed the following... >Thanks for the update Dave, in your >opinion is it worth the effort to install >Netscape 6??

Actually, the mozilla project is not being touched by AOL, they are taking the code to make Netscape 6 from it...but the code for mozilla will still be available. I have been playing with the various builds of mozilla since the M8 build(the m15 build came out tonight).

Re: [expert] Dell XPS and L-M 7.0
Yeh, I was pretty sure it was not really "busy" but getting the modem working was VERY low priority since I was getting out to the 'net via my home LAN and DSL line. I tried the setserial that Tom suggested and it worked, so now I have a fully functional Linux laptop. :-) --Dave Brian T.

Re: [expert] Dell XPS and L-M 7.0
Nope, it's NOT the internal modem, when I bought the laptop I specifically
told them to leave the modem OUT. The one I am having a problem with is a
Xircom Realport card..it's the Card that is a 10/100 Nic and a modem in
a Type III PCMCIA card.

Re: [expert] Dell XPS and L-M 7.0
The NIC section of the RealPort card is working fine...it talks at 100Mb with the rest of my LAN and even surfs thru the ICS gateway just fine. The Modem is a different story, as far as I could can tell it's setup properly(but I'll be honest and say I have never had to setup a modem under linux before, has been all network basedusually servers) but whenever I try to dial out with kppp it says the modem is busy.

My Inspiron 7000 is currently dualbooting Win98SE and Mandrake 7.0.2 quite
