[Hardware] RAM question
What's the difference between PNY's 256MB PC100 SODIMM memory for $70 and Kingston's for $144? Got a friend with a laptop (Dell Inspiron 3800, I think) that wants to add RAM to it.

Thank you, Myles. I had the sense that there was no need for a
migration tool, but IANAAE. More than anything else, I'm just amusing

IANAAE either, hence the book ;-) A2 is rather neat to play with though,
so enjoy.

Those who specialize in PC hardware definitely recommend being brand selective on memory. Kingston and Crucial are good quality brands. Most others are commodity providers.

Re: [Hardware] RAM question
My personal experience, and that of others who work in the PC hardware industry indicates that Kingston Crucial are garbage memory, as is PNY. If you're looking for high quality memory, Corsair Samsung are highly recommended.

Thats prety much true due to the fact that *any* cheap RAM is either renamed and or remanufactured, usually both. RAM remanufacturing is a *big* businesss and cheap RAM is remanufactured RAM.

Then of course there's the slam against Linus Torvalds who has been patient, but should (IMHO) sue SCO for slander, misappropriation of Linux code in violation of the GPL, etc. Ciao, David A. Bandel Never happen. Linus is to much of a moderate to do something so personally extreme. Linus reflects the thinking of a majority of developers within theLINUX community, and most of those people *hate* dealing lawyers, and only work with lawyers if they have to. And that is the opensource software community only real weakness, and Linux as an OS could die from this. SCO has raised the ante and tossed another 2 suits at IBM, at another billion each. The suit SCO vs IBM now totals some $3 Billion, so I don't see a forseeable end in sight for a while in this legal monetary lawsuit mess. SCO corporate must continue to pursue this course, since it made a promise to it's shareholders that it will endeavour to return to profitability. So far, their stock has jump to past $11.50 since the stock falloff. So, their doing what they promised. Since SCO is a puppet of MS, and IBM is making to return to the personal PC market, MS will make Linux a costly or at least unprofitable for IBM if it pursues further developement, support, advertising with/for Linux. Microsoft can't get their feet wet in Linux, and it really pisses them off that a hobby OS is taking market share away from them. The only lawsuit left I'm waiting for, is for SCO to go after the GPL, and make the source code license for Linux invalid, and in direct violation of the UNIX license. I'm pretty sure OpenSoftware and the Linux kernel project will die in about another 5 - 7 years after that, whether of or not SCO is successful. __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

lindows 4.0 is coming. Harry Potter watch out.
Just so eveyone knows what they'll be missing by not using lindows. Here is the latest blurb about lindows 4.0 from the CEO. If this is true, and with Debian upgrading has been painless so far, then this might actually be useful. I'll know by next Wedneday, I guess. If my Zire palmpilot works after the upgrade, I'll be impressed. Note the claim for plug_and_play support. Joel Michael's Minute: Microsoft Is Right (Until Next Tuesday) Next Tuesday, when we release version 4.0 of LindowsOS, desktop Linux takes a giant leap forward and in so doing, overcomes Microsoft's biggest remaining criticism of desktop Linux. One of our ongoing initiatives at Lindows.com is an operating system with zero maintenance. The concept is a simple one - we want to remove the hassles of managing your computer. Computers should be more like other electronic appliances (think DVD, radio, toaster). They shouldn't require learning a whole new language or taking hours to set up and maintain. While we haven't fully realized our zero maintenance initiative (there's still a tiny bit of effort that the user has to apply), as of next Tuesday, Linux becomes easier to manage than Microsoft Windows for personal computers. Here are a few capabilities in LindowsOS 4.0 - many of which are firsts for either Microsoft Windows or Linux or both. One click configuration I was able to install copies of all of the software programs from my old computer onto my new computer. This saved me hours in finding CDs, running installation programs, and typing in registration data. Similarly, new employees of Lindows.com get their computers set up with a custom suite of programs in just a single click. One click operating system install Lindows.com is the first company to offer major operating system upgrades with just a single mouse click. LindowsOS 3.0 users will be able to upgrade to the significantly improved version 4.0 with a single click -- which is the first time that computer users have been able to do major operating system upgrades, completely digital, with just a single mouse action. One click software install Installing software can be a time consuming task that works differently for each program, but with LindowsOS 4.0, a user can install software with just a single click -- whether you're installing a commercial office suite or a free game. We've worked hard to perfect the system and we now see success rates in the high 90's -- even for users over slower modems. One click upgrading Keeping software up to date has always been a laborious task, but not with LindowsOS 4.0. LindowsOS keeps track of the software installed on your computer and permits you to update any of the software programs with the same one click ease as when the original program was installed. A graphical user interface shows which programs have available updates and lets you select which ones you wish to upgrade. Plug-N-Play Support The launch of LindowsOS 4.0 means that for the first time, desktop Linux can plug-n-play a wide range of devices, including printers, memory cards, hard drives, CD-RWs, digital cameras, and even firewire devices. Most of these innovations are embracing the concept of complete digital delivery, which is fast and cost effective -- an area where LindowsOS is leading the way. Conventional wisdom says that Linux is harder to use and some analysts are now parroting this blindly. Next Tuesday, we'll release LindowsOS 4.0 and with it will be a new era when Linux is easier to use and lower in cost to maintain than any other software. I'll explain how you can be one of the first to get it next week. -- Michael ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Which filesystem to use?
I was just pointed to this document at sgi. It was the result of a search for the optimum filesystem for linux. The document makes a nice read, points out the pro's and con's of some of the more popular journaling fs's... The highlight for me are the included performance graphs and they quite nicely backup what I've been spouting... EXT2 and EXT3 ain't that bad.
