bidi under linux netscape

hebrew under netscape
I tried the patch given here some time ego to make hebrew usable under netscape. It fixed some of the problems (I think, I don't remeber if I could read these pages or not) At list it gives me iso8895-8 fonts and hebrew(hb) language pages. I still have a problem reading some pages. For example, on egged's page there is the timetable seaching, and I still get giberish.

Reading hebrew files in xemacs21
How do I reads hebrew files under xemacs21 (mule version)? I tried to change language in the mule menu, but I still got rubbish I tried to change the font, but apperently I didn't find the right font, because it just defaulted back to courier, and i still got rubish. I got the mule package from huji, but I didn't know If its xemacs 21 competible so it's not installed yet. Also, when using x-symbol, when I try to insert hebrew text (good for short sentenses) It converts the rubbish to apear as is (thinking its math mode) whick gives me an error, and wont print out in hebrew. Without x-symbol it works (although I would prefer using x-symbol, because it is a usefull package). I only need the graphics, not the input shortcuts, if it helps.

Re: How to change the window manager in RedHat 6.0
Try inserting it into .xsession if you want it only for the single user, or as the first option in /etc/X11/ , I don't remeber the exact file but it starts with wm... somthing. I hope Its the same because I use debian, but in this respect the versions should be close enough. You should also enter the full path to the window menaget executable, because the path is not loaded yet when the system searches for the file.

Re: sun StarOffice for linux
I know there is a new office suite from sun which is free and about 60 megs download, havn't tried it yet though (don't have the disk space right now) but my dad has it so I will probably be able to tell you in a few days how it is. I know it is available for several platforms (linux, windows and a few others, I don't remeber) and that its supposed to be competible with microsoft documents.

RE: using X with keyboard
Did you check in XF86Config that you are really pointing to your mouse. Its probably using /dev/mouse, but its usually a symlink to someware else, /dev/ttyS0 for exxample, and it may just be pointing to the wrong link, because when you changed motherboard you may have chainged the port of your mouse. If its connected to a serial port try /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 (you can increase the number if you have more then two serial port).

Well, I know thats whats alien is for, but because it's not the same packaging system it can't check conflicting packages, so if you are not carefull you can over write parts of a debian package.

IMO, its strong YZ points (compared to Linux) are: I'm a bit surprised how many myphologized is a mind of an average advocate. What you say is "standard 'Linux sucks' advocate kit". As most "standart advocate kits", it's built on myths that or were true 5 years ago, or were always false. I didn't say that Linux sucks. I said that FreeBSD has some stronger points. YZ. It is based on sources from a single source (UCB CSRG), while Linux is YZ derived from many non complaint sources. Well, ITYM "non-compliant". In fact, just yesterday I've read an article that says BSD is better because in Linux you have just Alan and Linus in full control of code, while in BSD it's full team. You are confusing an OS and a kernel. These are not the same. An OS has a kernel and a few more supporting programs. YZ. The develpment cycle is slower. A stable major release every three to This is an advantage, yeah? So now development at all means a perfect system? Slower means added stability. Rabid upgrades make systems less stable. I am not suggesting that Linux cannot be stabalized in that respect. It just seems that people are upgrading "becuase they can". The fact that people upgrade because they can is their problem. If you wan't stable you can always stick with the stable releases when they come and not use the development ones (which from my experience are very stable - and I have a bad tendency to have bugs in my program that crash most systems, didn't menage to that to the linux kernel). YZ. The development cycle is centralized. Authorized developers are making YZ changes to a central cvs repository. You'll be surprised, but there's some little guy named Linus Torvalds, who has a little kernel tree that is akinda official. Isn't this a thing you call "centralized"? Again. OS vs. kernel. Linus maintains the kernel tree, not the OS tree. YZ. The development cycle contains all major OS parts. This means that when YZ you say FreeBSD 3.2, you are refering not only to a kernel, but also to YZ libc and most system binaries (such as ln, awk, grep etc). I know yet another system which has almost all system binaries intergated into the OS. I do not like that OS. Developing an OS and developing awk is different things. Side note: I could guess what you meant, but you said totally different thing... Let me iterate. Developing kernel and other OS parts, such as libc, other libraries and /usr/bin in the same cvs tree makes the system more integrated. There is less chance that changes to libc will break calls in grep, because after you make your changes, you compile everything together. YZ. Its UFS is more stable than ext2fs which optimizes like hell. See SGI's YZ initiative of donating XFS sources to Linux. Which one does optimize? ext2fs optimizes to a dangerous level. And why donating XFS means UFS is better than ext2? I think I've lost your point here. SGI, being a Linux advocate and a company that wants to ship Linux on a commercial basis for their systems wanted a file system that delivers, so they offered a better one. YZSummary: my choise for a stable, fast, conservative network server. Did you try a marketing job in a big corporation? Nope. I do sysadmin for a living. P.S. Could we bury this holy war now?

Re: Rh 6 Vs Other Distros
I am using a debian system which i think handles packages better then RH and can also handle RH packages. Concerning the window manager crashes. Gnome is still not very stable, and RH probably still ships with version 0.3, there is version 1.somthing out now. Try getting s later version (It was much more stable, at list on my computer). Also see if they have a stable and non-stable version, although the nonstable is usually better then the stable one in my expirience. enlightenment is also still in development, last i checked it was something like ver 0.15 so it still has a few bugs. kde is stabler although i still get a few bugs with it too, but nothing that crashes my computer. BTW the crashes could be comming from something other then X too. I had some problems with my configuration in the past and the comupter crashed on me too withh no connection to x. What solved my problem was to upgrade the kernel( I also recompiled it, put it depends on how unnormal your system and requirments are) It does improve its speed.
