Regardless of the contempt I personally feel for Microsoft and their business tactics; they still have enough clout in the real world, and enough customers that will never read anything more than official Waggener Edstrom press releases, to make life very miserable for anyone that holds an opposing view. Anyone that doesn't believe that can do a search for companies/technologies that were either 'embraced and extended' to death, or purchased outright after MS bullied them out of their skivvies and off the map. Or see the way the anti-trust trial turned out. The point isn't whether anyone that frequents this mailing list; or any other list or site devoted to 'mutual support' of open source software, would willingly bow to the will of "The Beast." It's whether Joe SixPack would even notice. If the average consumer doesn't hear why this idea should die aborning from people that are aware of what it means then we are abrogating our own freedoms. My original question was what we can do about it? I'm already receiving replies from people that I forwarded one of the many links about it to. Most are asking 'What the hell is this and what does it mean?' The best I've managed to offer so far is that if they want someone else to decide what they can see, where they can surf, even whether they're allowed to e-mail 'Auntie Em' a digital photo of 'little Festus' without the permission of the Almighty Microsoft in their benevolent wisdom, then leap right on that bandwagon and shout "Hallelujah!" 'Cause the all knowing, all seeing, "His Billness's" palladium may not allow Auntie Em to download it/open it even if you're allowed to send it. It may not be "Trusted" (tm). I'll never sell MS short where marketing and pulling the wool over JsP's eyes is concerned. If the company had any respect for anything they might actually build an OS that isn't swiss cheese when considered from a security and stability standpoint. I hope all those scoffing at the very idea of this getting off the ground are correct; but I won't stop telling people why they should refuse to buy into the latest crap from Microsoft either. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so. -- Bertrand Russell Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Has anybody set something like this up? I have a Soyo K7VXA-2BA2 MoBo running an XP 2000 + chip. Most of the setup is from there web sit www.thermaltake.com appears straight forward except for the connection of the switch for the fan controller. The SoYo has two cpu fan connectors one is used for auto shutdown if mobo detects it's too hot and the other appears to be unswitch. Could this be used?

Keep in mind you're tryin to use a proprietary Apple Mac app, ported to Winblows, but tryin to run it on a Linux system. That said, go ahead and buy the Crossover plugin, the developers deserve the contribution. I've tried 3 ways of playin QT movies. o Codewavers (the Crossover people's) free rendition of wine. Works pretty well runnin QT5 from Win98. Sound really sux. BUT Codeweaver's wine is still probly the best wine effort to use other Winwoes apps. o Codeweaver's Crossover plugin. No nag screen, IME works better than the demo. Sound is good, a few intermittent drops with a sound chip that's not recomended for this use (AC97). Only problem is the shortcommings of Quicktime player itself. Works very well with Galeon, Mozilla, or Konqueror. I haven't bothered with Nutscrape in quite some time. o Xine. The latest xine-ui-0.9.12-1mdk, libxine0-0.9.12-1mdk plays QT movies better than QT5 runnin under Windoze or Crossover, ... video wise, I've yet to get the sound workin. OtOH, it's the solution I like, 'cause .mov's can be played multiply, full sreen from the CL. No need to to start the plugin or player for each separate movie as with the Winsux or Crossover players. I've got CD's of QT movies that play for many many hours ;> http://xine.sourceforge.net/ (btw, they're seeking contributions also). So, IMO, your best bet for playin QT from a browser (other than Nutscrape) is to use Crossover. Better for playin stored .mov's is Xine. The QT on Linux situation has come a long way recently, expect even more shortly. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Linux on RS/6000
Hi all, This is my first email to the list. I will try to be very clear. I just bought the 2 CDs Mandrake for Power PC processors, I am trying to install them in RS/6000 B50 model and none of the CDs are bootable. I think they try to use some Mac Bios function that obviously does not work with RS. I was cheking the list archive at http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker-ppc/ and I found similar cases but not the definitive answer. My question is if any of you could give a reference where to start? For example, how can I build a zImage kernel with all.rdz-2.4.13-12mdkBOOT file?. Thanks in advance.

Linux treats it as a regular folder. If you put the files in the folder when it was not mounted, it will always be there when it is not.

Did you run 'sensors-detect' (as root)? It asks a bunch of questions (default answers are usually best), then generates some lines you need to paste into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and /etc/modules.conf. You might also need to put 'i2c-proc' in /etc/modules. Then as user typing 'sensors' should display temps, fan speeds, voltages.

Again; no. I'd be more inclined to trust a thief in a bank vault or a weasel in a chicken coop personally. Or any politician, or group of them, with control of any spending or legislation without any checks and balances. (Woops redundant, sorry.) I understand your points, and the reason I said I'd go troglodyte first was just that. From what I've seen on this and other GNU/Linux users lists there isn't a problem with those that have chosen to use open source software. It's the drones that succumb to the "Windows Upgrade" virus that will; and they're still the vast majority of computer users on this planet. Not developers; not contributors to open source in any way; even only in a willingness to use open source software and report any bugs, then share experiences with others using it. Or only to use it and try to learn more. Most of these people have already chosen to think for themselves. I'm worried about the ones that still whine that "Linux is too hard!"
