Re: What is the secret to using Lyx with Hebrew?
I used lyx by implementing the instructions from huji site about lyx. what I got to was: when I pressed F12 (IIRC), it *switched* language, both he->en and en->he, depending on the current state. I don't remember having to worry about anything else. I don't understand exactly what do YOU wish to achieve ? M.

I'm not sure on the exact plan and need as I'm "just" a developer. Currently I'm the only Linux expert around and I'd rather stay a developer and not turn into an operations/sys-admin guy. I believe what is wanted is essentially a long term second line of support with obligations as to response times and such, something akin to what is described for RedHat at http://www.redhat.com/support/policy/sla/production/ I think that installation is already covered by our plans so this is more of a longer term issue. I'm not looking for immediate quotes though I will forward information to those in-charge to decide. I am interested in companies that are able to provide such a level of support for Debian servers. I'd much rather be using Debian too but it's pretty much not an option when deploying servers at most hosting providers we talked to. I was willing even to consider Ubuntu but it wasn't offered either. At least in our situation - the service we get is that the hosting provider (we currently use The Planet) buys the hardware according to our specs, puts it up and installs the OS that we ask for - CentOS 5 (to save on RHEL) was the most obvious choice (even the request for an amd64 version seemed to look a bit out of ordinary to them) and asking for Debian draw responses between "not in our shop" and "gimme 150$ an hour to put it up for you and for any request regarding this system in the future". Even more so - they had Debian in their "supported OS's" drop-down box but it turned out that it's there because it USED to be supported but not any more, so it actually got a step back with that host (my guess is that it was supported by one of their acquisitions). I think at Debian website you can always search, and even find a source for debian based service, for US of A. And I bet it's even professional. Regards, Max. So I now have to settle for CentOS 5 on our production servers, but I'm getting used to it. Before that ordeal I planned to move our in-house servers from the hodge-podge of redhat/fedora that we have to Debian but after that experience I have to re-consider since the basic idea in operations/production is to minimize the number of technologies you have to keep track off.

Re: 32Gb servers?
have you checked Apple's XServe ? The server costs 18000 shek in Israel, which can have upto 32GB. I think you should buy the server separately, and then buy RAM, it's about 1500 shek per 2GB, so it makes 16x1500 8x3000, 24000 which makes up to 4 shekels. If you talk to them, you may get a bit less, and if you're a business, you get the 15.5% "discount" of V.A.T. by default runs OS X, but can be installed with either windows or Linux. Note these are far costier than in USA (where they cost ~3000$+V.A.T., so maybe it is worth the burden to import one from one of the ebay stores, it will cost you less than Israel. Cheerz.

Dell's smallest server which supports 32Gb jumps the price to over 45k when it comes with 32Gb, 44k of this is just for the ram.

Re: cron problem
Hi Shlomo. I think it is rather useless to use "mail" binary in the cronjobs, since cron uses it anyway. the only thing you really need to do is to write something onto the stdout from a cron job's script. namely, the date, and scripts name. add: echo "$0 started at `/bin/date`" to the start of the script, and: echo "$0 finished at `/bin/date`" This will really suffice, the advantage of this is tremendous: On the email you get, you will have delievery related timestamp. so you will know if the mail is coming late or the cron script is running late. Sometimes email is processed not immediately, and this is something you haven't taken into the account in your attempts. Best regards, Max.

(and data , as a result). This is why drivers introduce a tunable parameter for the driver IRQ requests threshold. there are NIC's buffers. Extreme example: the NIC controller can throw interrupt request each time there is new data in its rcv buffer or it can be tuned up to do this less frequently, say after a watermark has been reached. if you want this to be efficient and working, you need to know how big NIC's buffers are, and can tune up your OS's tx/rx network queue lengths ( via sysctl and ifconfig ) > > The rate of interrupts the nic receives depends of course on the number > of packets which are sent by the application. and many other tunable things. > > So I assume that on machines with sow CPU the amount of maximum > interrupts the CPU can handle will be lower (linearly ?) than the > amount of maximum interrupts th CPU can handle on machines with > faster CPU. true, unless this is a special CPU that is designed not to miss interrupts: if this is a RT OS, it is designed for this, and the devices are designed not to create too many interrupts. > > Is there a way, except experimenting, in which I can get to know , for > different CPUs > (with different clockspeed) ,when it is better to use NAPI (polling) > instead of interrupts? If you're talking about NIC, then your problem is on receiving data ( you can always retransmit on send ) If you have a modern NIC, It is always better to fill its buffers and then to flush them into OS's buffers, because they are usually faster than the main memory of a regular computer. I don't know of a way to know how frequently IRQ can be handled/sent to/from CPU, except _reading_CPU_manual_ really thoroughly... I actually never had to do this.

need server installation+support+maintenance service contract in Haifa.
Shalom, list! I seek for computer/IT services providers _IN_HAIFA_ (for a firm with office in Haifa) They have SOHO network: ADSL modem, hub, several machines over 10/100 Ethernet. They need: - support contract for a period of time, this will be discussed during negotiations. - NT domain controller, incl. hardware offer and support, based upon samba ( OS - be it whatever free OS, the client machines are windows XP) - server should be headless, VNC controlled - clients should have network drive mapped at logon to be used as backed up storage ( logon script ) - printer/fax service for clients - backup procedure based on DVD; ntpd ( incl. instruction of the personnel ) the data is mostly office documents. - optional: DHCP, BIND, for convenience etc. NOTE: the guys got price offers from windows based service providers. I think that the OS cost and non the highest end hardware will make you win them. If you are a student, don't reply please. They need a company or an independent contractor, who will be _available_ ( according to the contract response time, of course ) Anyway, Please contact me via email, I will contact you back with a phone and other details off the list.

try booting with selinux=0
then fixwhatever you need, then try enabling selinux stuff one by one.

I think you should use X11 enabled cron-like tools. if you use gnome - there's evolution ... or kalarm in kde ... and...maybe there's some WMaker DockApp. The general problem is - to have the DISPLAY variable set properly and xauth credentials too. i AM not so concentrated on this subj, but there's also an OSD wrapper, so you can print your messages on X display too. the points you should look at: 1. DISPLAY variable. 2. X11 access rights - xauth extract/merge , xhost + 127.0.0.1 etc. 3. spawning the term/osd whatever proggie should be from the allowed user and into the allowed display/server. I still think Kalarm/Korganizer/Evolution can do the job well too.

You've started blaming yourself after this: tried 1 CDROM except yours to read a CD. and got a failure.

microsoft questions..
Hello, Hamakor. I am about to purchase ibm's thinkpad r50e. it is bundled with Win XP home edition. I don't need it. I want a refund [or a refund ticket to buy other products in the price of win XP bundled there] for this. I have contacted CMS [ the seller of thinkpads for BUG store ] they've turned me to IBM. they've turned me to IBM sales so the chain goes like this: BUG -> CMS -> IBM -> IBM sales -|-> IBM worldwide [James Stevens] |-> Microsoft Olivie Milovic The question is: has this refund thing ever been done in Israel ? Is it really possible to get the refund ? can HaMakor help ? Shall I bother ? I am signed to linux-il, so I am sending this there too. Best wishes, M. -- Real Programmers don't write in PL/I.

Re: FOSS DB with full Hebrew support
David Howard wrote:
Hi all,
I've been reading the recent thread on DBs with some interest, since
I've been interested for some time in learning how to use a DB. My only
previous DB experience was long ago with a DOS-based version of Lotus
1-2-3, with very clunky Hebrew support. I am looking for a database
programme suited to my needs.
The DB would be used by English teachers in a Jerusalem High School, to
keep detailed ongoing records of students - class, hakbatzot, grades
etc. Currently, such records are kept in (Hebrew-enabled) MS Excel
files: English interface, all data in Hebrew. OOcalc offers some
solutions, but like Excel requires alterations to multiple spreadsheets
when any changes are made. A DB with full Hebrew support is an obvious
solution. MS Access is *not* an option.
Most of the actual and potential users are native English speakers,
MS-centric, with poor Hebrew literacy, with limited computer skills (is
this redundant? ;-) ), and with *no* CLI skills.
The requirements therefore are:
1. *Full* Hebrew support
2. GUI, preferably but not essentially in English
3. Ability to import existing MS Excel data
4. Reasonable learning curve for the technically-challenged
First allow me to ask:
does your school use Linux as Desktop OS ? :)
Part I. DBMS:
.
The choice should be based on workload and data size.
Alternative 1. PostgresSQL http://www.postgres.com
Alt. 2. MySQL http://www.mysql.com
I suggest Postgres. I think you will need features like triggers &
stored procedures.
Part II. Frontend:
.
Alternative 1: "Rekall". it's homepage is: http://www.totalrekall.co.uk
Alternative 2: create a web based interface to the DB on top of
Apache/PHP/{PostgreSQL/mySQL}. the teachers/secretary will browse the
site, and play with the data.
Alternative 3: OOo Calc.
The only one who will have a steep learning curve (again if & only if
he/she's decided to work in a small time frame) is the Sysadmin, who
will have to learn DBA, and create a good frontend.
I do suggest alt. 1 as the best idea, inspite the fact it is
Best,
M.
Any and all suggestions will be gratefully received.
TIA
