Re: [ilugd] Linux equivalent
Hey Guys I have used Quark Express & Adobe Pagemaker on WIN Platform & using SCRIBUS on LIN platform from past around 4 months. My experience says that what we get on WIN platform thru above mentioned applications...we get much more on LIN through Scribus... So according to my opinion anyone who wants to switch to Quark Express on LIN platform should definitely go for Scribus firstPLS Neeraj Arora, Director-QUANTUMS 9899 85 99 37, http://geocities.com/speedy_neeraj On Wed, 10 Jan 2007 13:31:31 +0530, "Sudhir Gandotra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > On Wed, 2007-01-10 at 07:49 +0530, Sudev Barar wrote: > > > Any one here comment on if quark express has an linux substitute?

The Huwaei cards distributed by tata indicom works just out of the box without any issues. All you have to do is configure wvdial to use /dev/ttyUSB0 as the serial modem for dialing out. In open area, i get speeds around 140kbps.

Is there a USB solution for this or is it only pcmcia. I don't want a usb to pcmcia adapter solution just need something for a pc without a pcmcia slot. -Original Message- From: "G Karunakar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, Jan 11, 2007 3:53 pm Subject: Re: [ilugd] performance of tata indicom data card?

A reliance phone costs 1100rs for the basic model and I get around 80kbps with reliance phones connected via cable(150rs) or Bluetooth. I guess USB mdoem is expensive at around 5000rs.

ILUGD already has this information for all its members (provided they keep it updated) on the linux-delhi.org member information. Now that the data is in database, wouldn't it be better to just give it a better interface for searching with concerns for privacy addressed?

We only want information to be available, that can be edited and maintained easily. Whether it is wiki or a database interface, doesn't really matter.

There is a 'street' field too, but presently not searchable. Searching for 'Shahadara' does get a list of 5 members, so it works too:-) I am looking to upgrade ILUG-D CMS system (which has much better search, in addition to many other goodies :-), but have stumbled on an unforeseen issue. I developed the upgrade on my home PC which has mySQL Ver. 4.1.11, whereas the one on ILUG-D host is 3.23.44. Since changes are more than just a few, I was hoping that it would be easier to upgrade mySQL. However, Raj is understandably very busy, and there are probably other systems on that host that access mySQL, and need to be coordinated with the mySQL upgrade as well.
