[newbie] USB Hot Sync with Palm Device
Has anyone had any luck with hot syncing their palm device using the USB connection? I have tried pilot-link but don't have enough knowledge to get it to configure and work by applying the tarball file. I think I'll just be waiting for a working version to be installed with the next version of Mandrake... Dan B Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Inporting informix DB to MySQL.
When you export a informix database you can use the dbexport command which will create a sql file with the constraints, indexes, triggers, etc for the import.

Re: [newbie] Perl
This months issue of Linux Magazine talks about Perl and scripting languages in general. I'm with John, but see some of Jeanie's side too. I work as a network / database administrator, with more of my work on the database side. I really enjoy data manipulation using awk and sed and keep promising myself that I will learn Perl. I also will spend hours writing a script that executes in two minutes that finds faults within our databases. But the alternate choice of sitting down and inputting request into SQL request by request would take days compared to what a script can do in minutes that was written in a few hours. Perl, Awk, Sed, Vi and others will be around for awhile yet to go and will continue to be valuable tools to administrators just like Java and C++ are valuable tools to the developers.

If someone wants to become a programmer, C/C++ or Java is the best place to start not a scripting language. There are alot of hacks that can be done much more easily in scripting languages, my suggestion is learn how to do it right (sans hacks) because hacks will come back to haunt you.
