Re: [ilugd] [Fwd: [K12OSN] OO 1.1.1 faster with remote xserver]

Hi 
Do not take me wrong but I think M$ office or OO.o both sucks some how less 
or more  if you guys really want to produce some high quality documents with 
out any pain then learn  .use LaTex  if you already know it them Kile is a 
very good LaTex editor in KDE

But if you do not know LaTex you can stilll use it with help of a WYSWYM (What 
you See What You Mean ) type of editor LyX. For more visite www.lyx.org

  Other than the fact Linux has a cool name, could someone explain why I
  should use Linux over BSD?

 No.  That's it.  The cool name, that is.  We worked very hard on
 creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it
 certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just to be able
 to say OS/2? Hah.  I've got Linux.  What a cool name.  386BSD made the
 mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the
 name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too
 technical.

the above is a flame-bait. but atleast i won't fall for it. for 25
years, serious TeX users know that TeX is not in the same category as
ordinary word-processing, much less office suites such as oo.o and m$o.

TeX is for typesetting, and for something called 'document engineering.'

no comparison, even though both seem to do the same thing. but the
similarity ends there.

in the world of software sufism, there is no contradiction. the
intelligence of the heart sees that a computer can have both OO.o and
teX  its tools such as LaTex, KILE, LYX, etc, peacefully co-existing.

to this, i'd also add DTP like scribus.

as an aside, i can show you many people who handle letters, invoices,
etc, all from a spreadsheet rather than a wordprocessor, even though the
output is identical. big deal.

and btw, i use all three.

[ilugd] darwin, macOS portable, etc

2004-04-02 Thread linuxlingam
dear all,

ever since i remarked about the mac on an eye-candy thread, have been
wondering about the state-of-the-mac and decided to do some digging.

darwin is the name of the core of the mac os, that is based on freeBSD.
within the macos layer, a few custom things run over it. gnu-darwin is a
project to port darwin to intel. anyone on this list who is using
gnu-darwin on an intel? i'd love to hear your comments on this list.
many projects that work under linux have been ported successfully to
gnu-darwin.

finally, for your device-fetish, apple just released the powerpod, that
is really a pda, with a 'portable macos'. i bet 50 paise (with myself)
that once this device is out, someone is going to hack it and install
linux on it.

Re: [ilugd] Re: ILUGD April Meeting (summing up)

2004-04-02 Thread vivek khurana

Hi!

 Now when the topic, date and loction of meet are
finalized, its time to go for the requirements for the
meet. 
 I believe a full blown installation(30gb) of debian
will be a great demo. If some one can bring it
preinstalled on a harddisk, it will be great.
Alternatively, if someone has a free harddisk and is
interested in getting full debian installed on it, can
contact me atleast 5 days before meet, so tah i can
get debian installed on it.

 Along with this we can have demo of knoppix and Damn
small linux (i have it with me and i will give the
demo).

Any further suggestions.

Regards
VK

While Gaim was down, I gave kopete a try and I am quite impressed with 
its ease of use and integration with KDE. If any of you want to try 
something other than Gaim, Kopete is the way to go.

Works again. ? Do you mean it wasn't working  ?
I've been using Gaim 0.75 since months now without any problems. I still am using Gaim

Re: [ilugd] Suggestion for Lify CD

2004-04-02 Thread Anupam Jain
 I suggest adding some OpenGL stuff like Mesa and Open Inventor (libraries) 
and the OpenGL Red Book (doc).
And how about some support for alternative languages like Haskell and Ocaml 
(or does everyone here use only the old faithfuls?).

Some more suggestions - VB clones (Though I have never used one but I hear 
such beasts exist), Gaming engines like Crystal Space SDK.

I'd also suggest wineX but I think it is not freely distributable. How does 
PCQLinux 2004 include it then?

If it is Yahoo messenger functionality that you want then nothing beats Gyach
