I've dealt with this issue before - but in an easier manner: Sold the customer a RedHat server; used the standard imap/sendmail setup; copied particular folders to the imap server therefore deleting them from the .PST (this took DAYS - no joke); upon completion, reset the configuration for LookOut to just use the IMAP server; customer happy, worked faster than it did before. Customer decided to make use of another server (linux, of course) for file/print sharing. Now I only drop in once in a while to check the Windows2000/XP workstations - the server keep on serving... Problem is, their mail is handled by a hosting provider. I tried to sell them on an inhouse mailserver using IMAP, but they are 'concerned' about security and reliability.

[newbie] using different kernel, moving files over network
I'm trying to make my own livecd but I've got some embarassing gaps in my knowledge. I've never messed with my kernel, and Texstar recommends not using the default 9.2 kernel. So, I downloaded and installed the tmb kernel from contrib and installed via rpm -Uvh, edited lilo.conf to use the new kernel as default, and ran lilo. This seems to work when booting, we'll see if it transfers to the livecd as well. If I wanted to completely replace the old kernel with the new, is that an easy task? Finally, I'm building the livecd on a computer without a cd burner so I have to somehow get the iso to another computer. I've got a network--a dlink router--but I don't see any way to easily see the other computer. I could use scp, but I'm sure there's got to be an easier way. In my network and internet section of mcc (9.1) I've just got drakconnect, drakproxy, and drakgw. Should I have another package for this?

One last thing here. One of Microsoft's long term goals is to migrate most of their apps to web-based systems which will be sold as subscription services - ie; Microsoft Office. That's one of their prime reasons for coming up with dotNet. Part of Microsoft's game plan is to be able to sell those services across all platforms, since much of the web already is platform-agnostic. It's the easiest way to capture a higher marketshare. So, don't be too surprised to see a lot of companies coming out with web-based applications in the near future. If companies can build apps which will work just as well on Linux and MacOS, as they do on Windows, compatibility will take a distinct move up the ladder. Microsoft also knows that this is one way that they can continue to build crappy applications, without all those nasty crash events happening, simply by moving the app from the hard drive to the web. It also means that they'll probably try to sell it's merits by promoting the stability factor of the web. Also, this also explains why the new Windows ( currently due out sometime this decade ! ) will have a newer version of Internet Explorer (something like version 8) which will be tuned to take advantage of the new web-based apps that Microsoft will be selling. Don't be surprised if they call LongHorn something like Internet Commander or something, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was the core of the OS.

Re: [newbie] MS: We know we suck, and we don't really care.
Software issues aside, what about Windows XP affecting laptop hard drives? My boss had his second laptop hard drive failure this year. When talking to the software/hardware support people of the company, he was told that the stock of replacement laptop hard drives was very low. The reason: Windows XP is spinning the drives to death! This is a company that should have (conservative estimate) 15,000 to 25,000 laptops in service, nationwide in the USA. How long can a company afford to swap out bad laptop hard drives? Especially when using a 3rd party to make the switch. It's overnight shipping of the drives, then the 3rd party installation, then another shipping back to the company storehouses for refurbishing or whatever is done with the bad drives. The economics of the hardware failures caused by Windows XP, if uncorrected by Microsoft, will have to cause a company to switch operating systems. The Other.

(for example, try running windows update using mozilla.) Part of Microsoft's game plan is to be able to sell those services across all platforms, since much of the web already is platform-agnostic. It's the easiest way to capture a higher marketshare. They already have 90+% of the office software market, and they have a big windows monopoly as well, they are not going to sacrifice one for the other until they have no other choice. So, don't be too surprised to see a lot of companies coming out with web-based applications in the near future. If companies can build apps which will work just as well on Linux and MacOS, as they do on Windows, compatibility will take a distinct move up the ladder. Oh yes, I don't doubt that for a minute, but do you think microsoft are just going to give up the single biggest reason they have why people should run windows (the ability to run office integrated into all sorts of other software packages)?? thats not going to happen. When windows is irrelivant, and it starts costing office sales, then they will consider it, but not till them. Microsoft also knows that this is one way that they can continue to build crappy applications, without all those nasty crash events happening, simply by moving the app from the hard drive to the web. Do we really want MS writing office code that makes Linux crash so they can claim that windows is more stable??? it wouldn't be the first time. .NET code will still have security vunerabilities, and it will still be able to take down the underlying OS. (Just as Java can.) so do we want Office running on Mono on linux so that M$ can mess with linux's reputation even more??? It also means that they'll probably try to sell it's merits by promoting the stability factor of the web. Also, this also explains why the new Windows ( currently due out sometime this decade ! ) will have a newer version of Internet Explorer (something like version 8) which will be tuned to take advantage of the new web-based apps that Microsoft will be selling. Don't be surprised if they call LongHorn something like Internet Commander or something, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was the core of the OS. Certainly would explain why the tried to merge IE 5 through 6 into the OS, and why Bill Gates was buying up cablevision companies in Europe a few years ago. Who else is gonna supply that much broadband to a user-base? Well who knows, but as I said above, they will not open anything up till they don't need windows anymore. Thats not going to happen anytime soon. As for Longhorn, it will be much less of an upgrade then they initially touted it as... They can't go ALL OUT for net applicatons because they have been stung before by the lack of widespread broadband.. They won't make that mistake again.. Longhorn will have to work both ways, because

Yes, I think the fact that Macromedia are looking into it is a big win. They won't be the last. In many cases, well-estasblished apps written for Linux years ago have been improving by leaps and bounds, and as people start to migrate over to Linux, they'll start depending on those apps, instead of seeking commercial or proprietary ones. no arguements there. One last thing here. One of Microsoft's long term goals is to migrate most of their apps to web-based systems which will be sold as subscription services - ie; Microsoft Office. That's one of their prime reasons for coming up with dotNet. I totally disagree with this.. it may have once been the goal, before linux got where it is now. but it aint the goal anymore.. .net and C# were created to stop Java becoming the defacto enterprise development platform, something that would have taken it out of M$'s hands once they found out they couldn't make their own version of Java without having to pay their profits to Sun.. They can't afford to make Office a by the web subscription service that will run on any platfrom.. because that will totally remove the need for windows, and windows is still a huge M$ cash cow. Not necessarily. Microsoft now needs to put some effort into protecting their cash cows, and Windows isn't one anymore. Notice that they either spout a lot of releases or they take a long time to release a newer version. That's because they either view a relase as a Hit or a Miss Now it's their server versions and licenses, as well as Office that have become the cash cows, except that the server versions are taking a serious hit from Linux and so are their license sales. In order to get past the poor history that Windows has had, they'll be starting to move to a Light Windows install, with a large block of apps only available via the web. Much like you pointed out below with Mozilla, you'll still need their browser to access the applications, or a plugin for other browsers, much the same way that Microsoft made Office, Outlook Express and Internet Explorer versions for iMac's. If that is correct, expect everyone to start paying for it one way or another, assuming that they want those features and applications. many consumers ( hell Most of them ) won;t have a choice but to continue on with whatever M$ spews out of their Willy Wonka factories! Besides, as in the past, many of the big PC producers wull Bundle this stuff into their systems - no matter which OS it runs. By manipulating that cross-platform type of architecture, Microsoft can go a long way towards getting rid of a bunch of anti-trust lawsuits, and by selling or licensing the technology out to it's competitors and partner companies. They're after a 100% market share, and they also want to cash in on Linux, MacOS, and anything else that gets popular. The Mono project is just M$ paying lip service to the open operability thing, if you think it will be allowed to ever run Office on linux machines (without a court case saying it has to.) then you need your head read. Allowed ?? Who needs to allow it? Microsoft needs permission? C'Mon! Mono, as with most everything Microsoft has give away, will not contain ALL the api's that microsoft will be using.. you can count on that. just the same way that office now uses windows API's that M$ have not given to the rest of the community. It won't be a question of API's anymore, except for a fairly short list of companies that have good resons not to. For those, you'll still install them in the normal manner. For the rest, it'll be a question of plugins and codecs designed to control the apps, but they will be managed, tracked, administered and monitored on the backend (ie; web-servers, database servers, etc.), so they'll only have to comply with browser interfaces. That makes it easier to maintain, develop and upgrade. Oh, BTW, My head is fine thanks. I don't need any! g When windows is no longer a cashcow for M$, and they can't do anything about it, THEN you might see them open up to office on other platforms. before then, I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you. Uh, Frankie? Windows is NOT a cash cow, now! That's why there's a lot of talk about giving it away, to maintain the user's dependancy on Microsoft. Hell, I can buy it legally for less than $100.00 Canadian through my wholesalers, and Dell, HP, etc., ( for example ) pay less than $50.00 US for it. It won't take a lot of pressure from consumers switching to Linux to force that price even lower! Free is only a few years away, after Microsoft rapes everyone for a few versions of LongHorn that is.

loading apache2-mod_php?
Apache2, and yes, the mods are loading for php. Here's the error I get
when I try to browse to the http://localhost/phpgroupware/setup
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in
/var/www/html/phpgroupware/header.inc.php on line 37
This is a source code error. It seems to be a common problem for
phpgroupware users.
Take a look at:
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=header.inc.phpsubmit=Search%21idxname=phpgroupware-usersmax=20result=normalsort=score
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /var/www/html/phpgroupware/header.inc.php:37) in
/var/www/html/phpgroupware/setup/index.php on line 62
This warning is a consequence of the previous error. Nothing to worry
about.

Xfce's panel will do it; does anybody know if there's a way to make a window do it, as well? RIGHT-CLICK on the title bar, choose STICK Naw, all that does is slap the window up across all of my workspaces. What I meant was, is there any way to have one particular window always on top, no matter which window I'm working in? For example: under KDE, I could have, say, a terminal window open and set it to Always on top, then type something in another window while reading output from the terminal window, which would never be covered by another window (think Xfce's panel layer set to Top). It's not a deal-breaker as far as Xfce4 is concerned, but it was one workspace management feature of KDE that I really liked.

HTH -Dennis M. Linux user #180842 I have to comment here - most of the time, what Dennis is saying works just great. *Most* of the time. Some packages just don't seem to cut and run like this though. Example- Mplayer. I've got PLF setup as a source, as well as eslrahc and the club internet places. So I tried a simple urpmi mplayer when I thought a newer versions was out. A list of files that needed to be removed and updated was given - a very long list of files. Including some apps that just seemed to have nothing to do with Mplayer. To make a long story short, Mplayer never worked right after that. I ended up removing (manually) everything Mplayer related and re-installing them (and Mplayer). Don't get me wrong folks - I think urpmi rocks! and rules! but sometimes...its not all peaches 'n cream... :-) -- /\ Dark Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
