To get the performance of IE5 and Word97 on Win95 with 48 MB and a 233 MHz processor, I needed 256 MB on a 700 MHz processor (running Konqueror, primarily). (I run AbiWord on Windows, when I'm not running Word97.) i have to say i am confused by that statement. how do you compare the performance? if you mean the time to open an app, that is illusion created by preloading. Illusions can be nice. ;-) if you mean raw performance, on the same hardware, one running 98se and one mandrake 8.0, setiathome (as a cpu heavy example) is almost 40% faster. if you mean to actually edit or surf in those apps you mentioned, and you really see that kind of performance trouble, you need to look at your hardware or perhaps changing to the newer kernel (the one on the download cds does have a vitual memory problem) because that is simply not right. I had similar performance with Caldera 2.2 and 2.4, RedHat 6.2, Mandrake 6.2, 7.0, 7.2, and 8.1 (the ones with kde 1 did perform a little better, still did not match Windows). Tried on several different machines, with, at this point, three different motherboards (all low end). If I need a high end motherboard or high end other hardware, it just reinforces the idea that Linux needs more (or better) resources than Windows for similar performance. besides, 8.1 compares to win 2000 not 95, for far too many reasons to go into here. suffice to say, morre's law (is that how you spell his name?) drives software as well. ;-) Moore Linux will get there one day, and is already there at the server level. The advantage of Linux is that it provides competition for Microsoft, which is why I'm sticking with it -- trying to learn more, improve it (if I can), and support it. the irony, as much as MS fights Open Source in public, without it they would have an even worse product, and not just because of compitition It is unfortunate that some people feel mislead (myself included) by the promises that we thought we heard about Linux. I want to be careful about what I say about Linux -- I'd rather have somebody be pleasantly surprised than unpleasantly surprised. while i agree i would rather be pleasently surprised, i am bewildered. i was able, with some hacking, to make an old 486sx machine with 4 megs of RAM give me the text editing and html display i need for most of my tasks. no, there is no X display, no kde, blah blah blah, but i would like to see any other OS give me multiple terminals, 32 bit power, tcp/ip, text editing, and basic html display, in the same 5 or so megs of harddrive space on that cpu and ram. WinCE requires more. hell my visor has better specs! in fact i prefer the visor for hardware reasons, the old laptop was just a learning project. Win 95 with Word, Excel, Access (all 97), Visio 5.1, AskSam (3.1), ZyIndex (very old dos version), Visual Basic 5 and 6, Turbo Pascal, and built in Samba (SMB) networking, do just about everything I need, with adequate response and reliability (I watch resouces and reboot when appropriate) on a 233 MHz machine with 48 MB and on a Gateway colorbook 486 50 with 8 MB (with fewer windows open) *and in GUI*. I expected Linux to do better than that. It doesn't. I may be able to run a webserver, mailserver, etc., and am now starting to do so -- but I don't need to (and these are on a separate box anyway). If I was not interested in Linux for philosophical reasons, I would be unhappily back in the Windows world, confident that I had given Linux a fair trial.

Erylon, Thanks for your response! Randy Kramer Erylon Hines wrote: I feel I must disagree with this. IF you run the latest KDE/graphical gui you need more ram, but 256 on a reasonably up-to-date machine (700+mhz) is enough for the job. If you run an older, slower machine, and use a smaller gui such as Xfce, IceWM, etc (I've used Blackbox, but found it a bit too minimal), a P200 with 128 megs, or even less, will do the job. Choose your apps carefully--use Opera for web browsing and xwc for file browsing, and you will do fine. I have an older kernel, 2.1x something and RedHat 6.x on a P90 with 48 megs and it runs fine--looks a lot like Win3.1, though. BTW, I'm typing this on a P233, 284megs, running Xfce, and it is FAST! This machine is sitting on top of a (overclocked) P733 with 284 megs. Both run 8.0, and the primary difference is the gui of choice for the 733 is KDE and the one I'm running on this one is Xfce. I use the slow machine most of the time because I really do prefer Xfce, and I can't see any performance hit at all, between the two. Both machines have VooDoo 3's.

Re: [newbie] RaiserFS or Linux partition
If you do choose ReiserFs, please ensure that you have disk write-caching turned off (I dont know how - maybe edit bdflush parameters?) I recently experienced a lot of file corruption due to power failure on my reiserfs partitions. Please note, I did not fool around with write caching, so maybe caching is turned on by default. If so, the mdk installer should turn caching off for a disk if reiserfs is selected for any partition on that disk. Also, the reiserfsck utility which comes standard with 8.0 is broken, you need to get the latest version from namesys.com (if in fact some catastrophic error occurs).

Re: [newbie] NVidia RPMs for LM 8.1
OK... I think I just learned something about RPM... Do I understand Mr. Slooten correctly? By using RPM with a --rebuild option on a SRC.RPM, you'll create a binary build of the SRC RPM?? Hmmm... At the console, rpm --help doesn't even list --rebuild (of course, it lists --rebuilddb but that's different). Yet, if I enter rpm --rebuild (with no package mentioned) I receive the message: rpmb: no packages files given for rebuild This seems to imply that the --rebuild option does, indeed exist.

Hey there Rick Rick wrote: OK... I think I just learned something about RPM... Do I understand Mr. Slooten correctly? By using RPM with a --rebuild option on a SRC.RPM, you'll create a binary build of the SRC RPM?? Please call me Ralph :-) Sounds so formal... Mr. Slooten... Yes, by doing that you do create your own binaries... Hmmm... At the console, rpm --help doesn't even list --rebuild (of course, it lists --rebuilddb but that's different).

Well yes, an example is rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.src.rpm ~ as in rpm --rebuild filename rpmb: no packages files given for rebuild Correct, you have to specify which file to rebuild. This seems to imply that the --rebuild option does, indeed exist. Correct.. So... will this create a binary build RPM from a SRC RPM?? Well, it should do. I do believe you will need the kernel-devel files and such to do this though. If it compiles correctly, and ends of saying RPM: Created NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.i586.rpm (or whatever) then you should be able to find the 2 files it's created in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/whatever architecture you have/ Good luck, and if you have problems, please just let me / us know...

[newbie] Help with pop-before-smtp
Hi, All. This is my first post here...hope it helps. I've spent the last few weeks setting up a mail/ftp/http server for my company using Mandrake-Linux 8.0 on a Pentium II 233 with considerable success. The server exists at the office, and ties to the internet via a 1.5 Mbps DSL line. I exist in another area code, so to save on long distance, I dial-in through a local ISP. Since I don't wish to be blacklisted by running a (Postfix) open SMTP server, I am attempting to use POP3 authorization before SMTP relay to allow me to relay mail (posted through my ISP) through my server. After considerable research (there is not much material on this subject), I settled on POP-BEFORE-SMTP 1.28 from Bennet Todd: http://www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/pop-before-smtp_en.shtml I followed the installation to the letter, and as far as I can tell from the log files, POP-BEFORE-SMTP is operating properly: read ts=Feb 8 16:54:10 ip=216.77.218.206 accepted --- not in mynetworks read ts=Feb 8 17:01:49 ip=192.168.0.20 read ts=Feb 8 17:04:59 ip=216.77.218.206 accepted --- not in mynetworks read ts=Feb 8 17:15:35 ip=216.77.218.206 accepted --- not in mynetworks read ts=Feb 8 17:26:09 ip=216.77.218.206 accepted --- not in mynetworks ...etc and the /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp.db has been created. Unfortunately, when I try to send mail, I just get time out errors, and the /var/log/mail/error file get entries that look like this: Feb 8 10:24:46 server postfix/smtpd[22809]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp.db: Unknown error 4294936306 Feb 8 10:25:47 server postfix/smtpd[22817]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp.db: Unknown error 4294936306 Feb 8 10:26:48 server postfix/smtpd[22823]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp.db: Unknown error 4294936306 Feb 8 10:27:49 server postfix/smtpd[22830]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp.db: Unknown error 4294936306 ...etc I believe (and I have no basis for this) the the .db file is being created in the wrong format (or corrupt). Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about Perl Scripts or Hash Files, so I am hoping someone out there can tell me specifically the which environment variable to change (from what to what) or what # mark to remove... ...or at the very least give me a hint.

Re: [newbie] How do I upgrade existing 8.0 to 8.1?
I'm showing you my configuration here. Usually there is a host1 and a host2, however in my case I have disconnected all drives from the first two ide buses. Therefore when devfs creates the directory structure in dev, it shows only the buses that have active devices attached. [root@tamriel ide]# ls -ail total 0 370 drwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Dec 31 1969 ./ 1 drwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Dec 31 1969 ../ 1073 drwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Feb 8 13:53 hd/ 371 drwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Dec 31 1969 host2/ In your case below, you only have your first two IDE channels active with devices; therefore host0 is the only one shown. Devfs ignores unused resources. The other directories you are showing below ( cd, hd, zip) are reserved areas for more symlinks. Why, I'm not quite sure; I assumed that there would be no reason not to dump all symlinks into the /dev dir proper until all system apps become completely compatible with Devfs, and access the real devices themselves, which is where we are going, btw. In any case, give me a listing of everything under /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 and /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0 We'll take it from there. :) On Friday 08 February 2002 11:54, you wrote: Thanks for your message.

As to where to get one from Indonesia... Try the soyo website to see if you can find a dealer near you. Or find a dealer in Australia (?). The soyo web site is at: http://www.soyo.com good luck.

[newbie] Building a PC (3).
Ok, I am getting closer to my goal, but still have a few questions: 1) For those on the list using the Soyo Dragon+. I see that there is a sound card built into the motherboard (C-Media 6 Channel Sound Card). Any problems with Mandrake recognition of the card or performance problems with Mandrake? Should I disable the C-Media card and go for the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Platinum? 2) My tech guy can't seem to get an ATI Radeon AIW 32mg nearby. The other possibilities are a PixelView GeForce3 T200 64MB or one of the new (new here anyway) Radeon 8500 cards. Any advice or comments?
