Doubtful. The only way you can strengthen Caldera is to fire all of its management and entire marketing department. No amount of standardization can compensate for blunders such as the overpriced purchase of SCO then managing to lose its biggest customer or the pr mess they made out customer relations and their cowardly retreat from the retail market and failure to develop a decent desktop.

Re: Skippy's project
W98 acts perfectly with a raid controller card. In fact, W98 is the reason billy is forcing XP. The upgrade numbers have not been good since W98 was released. W98 will be around for a long time. billy boo-boo'd and made a windows version that was fairly stable,(for windows). My back office came with NT4. Suppose it can be had with or without. It is optimized for NT/2000. I suppost W98 could run some of the backoffice apps but probably not all. Tapes are as reliable as the tape is old. Keep fresh tapes and you will have better luck.

Re: How many Boxen?
Overall I'm reasonably happy with it. It works much better than I thought it would. It is the *only* affordable broadband out here in the stix. Costs $60US/month and speeds often exceed 1Mbps. Cost was $650US to get it installed. (I had 128k ISDN for 4 years before that at $190US/month.) It does have several drawbacks: - It must gateway through a Win box via a USB connection. Dumb. But my W2k Pro box does an ok job so it isn't really a big problem. Hughes has announced a DW4020 gateway/router box that would do the job currently filled by the Win host box. I'll buy one if they ever ship and price is reasonable. That would put my Linux box on equal footing with Win. - Linux (several distros) really seems to hate the latency aspect. Kmail and Mozilla mail both frequently hang when trying to check mail. Even browsing (Konq, Opera, Moz) is frustrating. I need to learn how to turn the Linux IP stack to better cope with it. - Hughes has something called FAP. Fair Access Protocol. Except it should be called Punitive Punishment Protocol. What it does is throttle you if you use too much bandwidth in a given time. Like when doing a 650M download of an iso of the latest version of CalderaSuseTiva, I have to set GetRight to a "speed limit" of 10kB/s or Hughes will FAP me. And the link essentially dies when FAP kicks in. Even browsing stops working, for all intents. - Hughes forces you through their proxy server. "To accelerate performance". Yeah, right. But the accelerator frequently dies and browsing stops altogether. - A high latency link causes web pages to sometimes seem slow to load (scads of little tiny files means lots of round-robin requests). But that's mostly not a problem compared to the alternative. Some good points: - The sucker is really, really fast on moderate download sizes (say, <50M). It will often do 150kB/sec. - Hughes tech support is pretty good as ISPs go. And the best part is that they are not Earthlink. - The thing works in all but the most inclement weather. It takes a heavy downpour to stop it. - It beats 24,000 bps dial-up "8 ways to Sunday" - which is what I would have otherwise. - They're supposed to soon have a $10/month option for a static IP. That would be nice for some things I need to do. If I could get a landline (cable, DSL), I'd take it in a NY minute. But the Sat is a lifesaver otherwise.

I doubt that. Now, instead of having to compete against 4 entities, Redhat has to compete against one. Redhat was already starting to show indications that it had its crosshairs on each of them individually. Now it has to track a single entity, and go in for the kill. Less competition *never* helps the marketplace. There is no way that a non-destructive upgrade path can be provided for each of these 4 company's "legacy" products to their new "super" distro. Home users may not care too much, but enterprise users are going to sh!t bricks. Furthermore, anyone who hated any of the 4, isn't going to want to try out a product that is released by them collectively. If you are sickened by Redhat's methods, would you feel less sickened if Redhat started doing a "team release" with Mandrake? If Debian's religious zealotry rubs you the wrong way, are you going to feel less offended if they start teaming up with Lycoris? Additionally, this looks like an act of desperation. They're all admitting that they didn't have the resources to survive on their own. Working together is going to compound their negative qualities. IMO, what hurt all 4 of these companies wasn't the quality of their engineering departments, but everything else they did (of failed to do). Being forced to reconsile alot of crappy internal & external practices is going to further strain each of them. I could be wrong about all of this, but somehow i don't think I will be. A year should be ample time to see if this is going to be beneficial to the quartet. If they haven't gotten their act together by next June, they never will. -- ~ L.

Sorry, Joel, my statistics used to be quite good 25 years ago, but now they got a bit rusty. I fed your data into OpenOffice Calc and got results similar to yours (only my variance is a bit different, var=0.49772 ...). Now Alan Jackson's posting gave me the clue: the discrepancy in your graph between the plotted bar graph and the normal curve is a problem of scaling. One idea behind the normal curve is that probabilities or relative frequencies are represented as areas under the curve; that yields an area of 1 under the total curve. In a bar graph, relative frequencies often are not represented as AREAS, but as HIGHTS of the respective rectangles. All these hights (in your graph you have 21 of them) then add up to 1. Now your data are grouped into groups of width 0.2, which can be seen as the width of each the rectangles. Thinking of areas, that means that the rectangles have a total area of 0.2. So, for bringing together the bar graph and the curve, you can either divide all the bar heights by 0.2, or multiply the curve by that factor. In gnuplot, plotting 0.2*f(x) instead of your f(x) should give you a reasonable result.

Re: Strange Port hits
Yeah, that occurred to me, and may be how they did it. I was still learning SQLServer, didn't even know yet that there was an 'SA' account as separate from the Windows 'Administrator' account. So that's likely it. So I try not to be dumb, but it's hard not to be ignorant when I'm always learning new things. Now it does have a password, as well as a different port. I hope that's enough. ++ kevin On Tue, May 28, 2002 at 09:58:38AM -0700, Aaron Grewell wrote: > Depending on when you installed and what SP you were at, the sa password > defaults to being blank. > > On Mon, 2002-05-27 at 21:12, Kevin O'Gorman wrote: > > Oh, and I read the thing about Spida.

Re: backup systems
RAID is not a replacement for backup. It is a complement to a good backup system. Many will tell you that Tape Backup is slow, antiquated, and no to be trusted. I would not begin to argue these issues either way. I would say this: If you will NOT be using a Tape Backup (or CD, or other offline media), you would be advised to have a second server with 2-5 times the storage ( you can install that additional storage in the primary server, but it's really hard not to use it in a moment of weakness) so you can still archive. Joe Schmoe, the President's secretary, calling you because his Excel spreadsheet with everyone's bonuses is corrupt... that will teach you very quickly the importance of archiving. This is also very important when considering HOW to archive... :) On Fri, 24 May 2002 16:30:11 +1000 "Keith Antoine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have the local Chemist who is asking me to build 2 fileservers, not a > big deal but! > > They have a tape backup system that has never been used (8gig) so its a > biton the old side.

Re: KDE 3.0.1 is out
Some of the only issues I've run into with it "blowing up" on me have been related to the .DCOP and "socket" links when I do something out of the ordinary. I'd kind of prefer that these were deleted at start up (softlinks from .kde and .kde2 to /tmp/...) because while I can figure them out, I always look at Linux as an ALTERNATIVE to Windows, not just it's mysterious nemesis (ie. How would my parents feel if this happened?). Normally this behavior happens when I su to another user and start up some DCOP-oriented KDE app (which I'm not real impressed with). Other than that, I am KDE or CLI and have been since my start with OL2.2. I've used Gnome a bit, don't get me wrong. But I always have been more impressed with KDE, and particularly COL's versions of KDE (with integration of key system config apps into KControl) On Fri, 24 May 2002 05:28:57 -0400 "dep" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > begin Brett I.

I installed XP for her, Speedstep for ME was incompatible, and she still has her two hours of battery life without Speedstep.

Video CD
Does anyone have a SMALL video CD (VCD) format binary image? I need to test a player that claims (in the manuals) to not support CD-R, even though the tech support people claim it does support CD-R. It is a non-computer-based (??) DVD player. It also supports VCD, but is unclear about support for VCD on CD-R discs. I want to use the player to play VCDs that I create myself. I am not set up to make them yet, and must return the deck if it does not support this before I will be set up to make such CDs. If you have such an image that I could 'borrow' to make a CD-R to test the system with, I would be ever so grateful. -- ++===+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 |Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | ++===+ ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Then, the simplest app is 'dvgrab'. There is a step-by-step (not the one known in these parts) in the sourceforge site I listed earlier.(http://linux1394.sourceforge.net/start_req.html) It guides you through setting it up and locating software to get you started.

Except that this determines which software you can use with it. So he will record the event with just the camera, and then move it to PC via a firewire interface at a later time? I would think that most any digital video that supported firewire would work, as the interface protocol over firewire is standard. Or, let's say that there is a standard. If the camera supports the DV (not DC) standard over firewire, then I would expect it to work with, say, dvgrab.

RE: What's the best filesystem battery-wise for laptops?
I have RH 7.2 on a Compaq Armada e500 laptop getting 2 hours battery life. Has to be tweaked though.. Shut off monitor after 10 minutes, etc. For KDE look in the control panel (system) for help -- you will need to invoke apm to take full andvantage it. Works fairly well. Check out some web sites for laptops for hints. Find your laptop and chances are somebody has a few words to say about it. Might help in twaeking a few minutes out of the battery. http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ Roger -Original Message- From: Bob Raymond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2002 1:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: What's the best filesystem battery-wise for laptops?

I don't have all the time in the world to set his computer up perfectly, just the time to make sure it is relatively bug free and he can check e-mail, etc. I have too many of my own hardware troubles to worry myself with fully optimizing everything he has.

I find free software monotonality very strange. And tiresome, boorish, and intellectually shallow. The proposition that someone who is pro-Linux cannot also support, or at least be open to the discussion of, software patents (which does not equate to "non-free software," by the way) contravenes one of Linux's most basic themes: CHOICE. News flash: having CHOICE means I can choose not to adopt the free software party line. > Any opinions? Yes, I have *lots* of opinions; at least two on almost every issue. On the subject of software patents, I oppose them as a general rule. However, what constantly irritates me is the conclusion that "linux" must necessarily imply "anti-patent." I'm desperately sick of people who insist that I or others must toe the free software line. As it happens, I choose to bet on free software, but I'm not going to demand that others do the same; this is in sharp contrast to standard operating procedure over at the Fascist^wFree Software Foundation.

What he had before was a JVC MiniDV machine with an IEEE1394 interface. When he was still using Windows, he could use the software provided with the camera to copy from the camera to the computer, and then he could e-mail clips out. Is there a USB or PC-Card video capture card that works in Linux? I don't think he'll have much luck connecting a PCI card like that to his old 486 with Win 3.11, so this has to be on the laptop.
