Whats the difference between an 802.11b adapter  an access point?


The 802.11b adapter is a wireless LAN card and an access point is the
wireless equivalent of a switch.

 cost wise?

Which one would make for a more logical choice? All i need is a
connection between my laptop's wifi interface  my PC so as i can do
natting or use my PC as a proxy.

...both cost wise  otherwise, i suppose an adapter shoud do? As i
dont want any more devices to be connected in the network... just my

[ilugd] No Community in the Licenses - digression from Where is the Community

2005-09-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi

This is regarding the digressed thread of Where is the Community and 
the many different elements of disucssion.

Here are some replies

 Sounds more like dictating a social *duty*.

with rights there are responsibilities or duties.

Thanks , I will remember that the various open source / free software 
licenses (GPL ASF etc) does not say anything about *any community* hence 
there are no expectations from the community or its members hence no 
*duties*.  And won't interpret more than what the license of any free / 
libre software gives / allows.

And When I do have the opportunity to release software under a Free 
Software License will remember to incorporate some aspects of community.

 So what is this antagonism towards people making money or people

community keeps

 I agree with Sandip: making money from FOSS is perfectly legitimate
 (dammit, I do it myself!), and you cannot ask the user of a software
 for anything beyond what the software license enjoins him/her to do.

No antagonism at all. This is what I said
where the community is the large amorphous mass (whose collective 
resources base is large but individual resource base disparately 
distributed) and the corporate are the proprietory privateers (who have 
even larger private and unshared resources) whose sole motive is profit, 
wherever it may come from and *whatever the cost*.

The key words are whatever the cost and that cost to me is freedom to 
choose my software and freedom to enable other to choose theirs.

Contribute to enabling others to make the same free choices. It takes a 
kind of supportive enviroment to enable people to make a choice - so the 
beneficiaries of the free software movement community have a 
responsibility to make that opportunity available to others. Thats the 
contribution I am trying to highlight which appears in this copyleft 
statement.

*copyleft (very simply stated) is the rule that when redistributing the 
program, you cannot add restrictions to deny other people the central 
freedoms.* http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

By not participating in creating that enabling environment is actually 
turning a blind eye to the issue of access to choice , access to free 
software and in this context freedom.

I am not sure if freedom comes with out duty or responsibility. I 
question what kind of freedom it is that does not at the very least ask 
of its beneficiaries to make sure others get what they have got, that is
freedom to ensure everyone has the same playing field . the same free 
state.

As a consequence of this discussion I read some of the popular Free 
Software licenses none of them have anything to say about communities 
and contribunting back to the community. The closest to community 
license was this:


Licensing Community Server
There are 3 options for licensing Community Server:

 *
   Community license
   The Community license provides a free version of Community Server 
that can easily be upgraded to a commercial license. The Community 
license is perfect for non-profit or non-commercial applications. The 
Community license can be used in commercial applications as long as the 
license agreement is adhered to.


The following are  drawn from GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   Version 2, June 1991

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to *certain responsibilities* for you if 
you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.


The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
be similar *in spirit* to the

Hello,


This is Nitin Gupta, one of Silent but active member

As i mentioned in the mails before, me and my company

On a side note, if you are going to buy wireless, you
should buy the one that is 802.11g compatible. 802.11b
is old and slow and may not work all the time due to

No.

Speculation won't help you to solve performance problems. Identify the
problem before trying to solve it. And switching distributions is, in
general, not going to help you with anything at all.

Use top and vmstat to figure out why the machine is slow (as suggested
in another message). I suspect, since you have only 256MB of RAM, that
you're being driven into swap too often as you switch between programs.

Test that hypothesis, and you'll have a better idea of what to do next.

[ilugd] Slow FC4

2005-09-26 Thread vikram ranade
I've been messing with FC4 for a few days now...and it seems a little
sluggish to me...compared to FC3or am I just imagining it?
Overall the installation was also very odd.it refused to boot after i
completed installation
Simply gave a blank screen after loading modulesI did a hard reboot and

[ilugd] Linux friendly Digital camera

2005-09-26 Thread vikram ranade
Was curious if there are any digital camera's that work out of the box with
linux.
I wanted to get hold of a 2~5 Megapixel one for work and I need this to work
well with
Linux.
By working well i mean that i should be able to mount it as a regular USB
drive thru a USB connector cable to copy the pictures and movies off it.
Anybody had good experiences with a specific model or brand that would guide
me?
Thanks,

Regards,
Vikram Ranade

I already downloaded the gentoo 2005.1 universal CD and the 2005.1 packages
Cd so the sources download should be minimal (or am I mistaken?)
I plan to do the (easy) network-less install.

Generally even if the cameras do not work with photo programs you can
mount them as usb drive and use them as regular file storage space to
delete / edit pictues.
My Sony cybershot (older one) mounts as /dev/sda to /media/usbkey.

Sony Cybershot P32. when yu connect it to Ubuntu, gThumb opens and asks me
whether i want to import the pictures. also, it shows up on the desktop.
earlier on mandrake 9.2 it used to display as 'Camera'. i think any camera

Hey, where's your sense of adventure? ;-)

I can understand why you wouldn't want to try it though, especially
if it's working just right for you.

I'm considering the Asus router as a mini network appliance for local
services (DNS etc), IPSEC endpoint, print and disk server (via a portable
USB drive). There are a lot of possibilities...

 Of course, if you can convince them that it is a good idea for them to
 participate more, and do more to promote freedom, that would be a good
 thing. But that isn't a question of obligations. The community's role
 is partly to create an environment, as you say, that helps people to
 understand and appreciate the issues; but that isn't the function of
 the license per se. The two complement each other.

Let me explain that a little better.

There are two major aspects to promoting Free software: First, you have
to convince individual authors to allow their software to be shared and
used freely. Then you try to convince them to do so in a way that seeks
to protect those freedoms in perpetuity (i.e. to use a Copyleft license
of some kind).

The existence of a community is in itself a powerful argument in trying
to convince people to participate and contribute. And the license is an
important tool in sustaining the community by giving its ideas a sound
legal basis. At no stage does this involve any obligations other than
the legal ones you incur by agreeing to a Free software license.

Confusing those roles of protection and propagation will only end up
weakening both.

(I suspect you're not going to like this, but RMS has written and said
now and again that the Free in Free software is derived from the same
roots as free enterprise, and inspired by the ideals expressed by the
American constitution. For example, see

Re: [ilugd] Slow FC4

What do you mean by a distro which is bloated? If you want a lean install, do 
a custom installation and select explicitly which packages you want to be 
installed. In most cases, a 1 to 1.5GB install suffices for using FC4 as a 
desktop. For workstations, you might need to install more libraries and 
development tools which will take more space.

I use Kubuntu/Ubuntu too, and for similar requirements of a workstation have 
had to download a lot of packages to get started. FC4 provides all that on 
disk, and so does Debian.

In my case, in a recent install at one of my clients, FC4 wasnt working very 
well with the display - switching to text-mode and back to X (Ctrl-Alt-Fn), 
was causing display corruption. After the first round of updates (which   
included the kernel and x.org) this problem disappeared.
