A few have hinted at Python being better, but that was a non-database situation, any choices ? You can use ADOdb (http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_faq) for database portability, if you are using PHP.

BhavyaOS had promished to comeout with links to bugs on their site by 13th. I haven't checked it so far. They are saying that it has some issues with LG CDROMs, but it has failed on my PC which has Samsung CDROM. I think it fails on the older PCs with less than 128MB RAM.

Re: [ilugd] Help on LiFY CD!
Hi Anuj This month we have included Bhavya OS instead of LiFY on popular demand of readers to get taste of other Linux Distro . We have got some reports of the CD not working properly on few PC's . On further inspection we got the followig reponse from Bhavya Soft please send the problems faced by you directly to them We have identified that the /preinit occurs only with LG CD-Rom Drives, LG-CDRoms do not seem to support mount() system call( used by slash shell to mount the BhavyaOS CD), as it is with the RedHat Kernel, This has been tested and failed with the RedHat nash shell also, we are thus shortly making available a new binitrd.gz and binstall.gz on our site which have a seperate static mount utility to acheive this, with regards to troubles starting X-Server in some win 98 installations, this is due to the preloading of heavy windows drivers as windows starts, we recommending using Safe mode DOS prompt and run bhavya.bat( bhavya.bat be edited to remove vga=0x315 and hda=scsi) . Kindly redirect any complaints to the link below. http://www.freewebs.com/bhavyasoft/contact.html Kindly ask the users to give the hardware details along with the last few lines of the error encountered. - we hope this would solve the problem some of you are facing regards Abhishek Kumar Linux Expert [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Anuj Sharma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ilugd] Help on LiFY CD!

[ilugd] FTC report on patents and competition
Some potentially good news on software patents... see the last sentence of the quote. quote The FTC report on patents and competition The U.S. Federal Trade Commission was asked to research the interface between patent policy and competition policy. After extensive hearings, its report To Promote Innovation: The Proper Balance of Competition and Patent Law and Policy was published in October 2003. The FTC looked especially closely at the different effects of patents on the competitive environment in four key high-tech industries: pharmaceuticals, biotech, computer hardware/semiconductors, and computer software/internet. In its quietly-stated, deeply-researched governmental way, its conclusions are fascinating and devastating: software patents do virtually nothing positive to promote innovation, but create a competition nightmare. /quote Full story at: http://www.ffii.org.uk/ftc/ftc.html -- Raju -- Raj Mathur[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F It is the mind that moves ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
