Re: Migrating to Mac
If you want to paste in a Mac Terminal, the same keyboard commands for Mac programs work in the terminal. -C to copy, -V to paste. Check this page <http://mactips.dwhoard.com/mactips/x11-and-terminal/copy-and-paste>for other combinations with X11, etc. On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 5:39 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Can you help Carl to find a way to paste (I assume in a terminal) using > the middle button? > > On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 5:36 PM, Donn wrote: > >> They support three button mice very well.

Re: OT: bookmark storage?
I have seen instructions for XMarks to store it's data on dropbox but haven't done it myself. I use it on Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE, on Windows XP, 7, Linux, and OS X and it works very well. It occasionally gets confused on a specific PC/Browser and I need to Download from server and overwrite local bookmarks, but for the most part it works very well. The Cross-Browser requirement is the catcher, since each browser stores it's Bookmarks in a slightly different format, some translation is required.

OT: Compile a cpp file on HPUX with gcc
OT-OT-OT-OT All, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question way out of my comfort zone. We have a cpp file with three .h header files that I would like to compile in our Oracle servers (HPUX 11). The gcc compiler is installed on the HP servers, but the source code does not contain a make file, so we don’t know how to compile it in HPUX (not being programmers, but IT nerds). Does anyone have any pointers? Here’s some information on the program from the source company: The files are: lpssend.cpp wdsocket.h wdprotocol.h wdprotocolcmd.h What is LPSSend? This is a sample project designed to be used as a tool to help integrate with the new Loftware Print Server (used for barcode label printing across the enterprise). This program opens a socket connection to the LPS, sends a print job, receives status of the job from the LPS and then disconnects. LPSSend is a multiplatform application thus works on Windows as well as other operating systems. Operating Systems known to compile LPSSend without error: Linux/UNIX: Redhat 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 Corel 1.1 SCO UNIX Open Server 5.x Debian 2.1 r4 FreeBSD 4.0 NetBSD 1.4.1 MicroSoft: Windows2000 WindowsNT Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. -- Donn There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." -- Dave Barry --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Re: ubuntu vs fedora vs mandriva...
I don't remember actually installing it, but about:plugins in Firefox reports version 9.0 r48 and the Adobe Flash site, youtube, and flash on every site I have visited works fine.

Re: ubuntu vs fedora vs mandriva...
The latest Mandriva 2008 Spring has been a joy to install and use. All multimedia capabilities you would expect are easily installed and configured. The nVidia drivers are offered to be loaded at install if applicable. Compiz sets up with a few clicks. Respositories setup easily and program installs are a breeze. You can try it out with the Live version, even including the nVidia drivers. I have been using Mandrake/Mandriva for years and the last two versions have been vastly improved over previous releases.

That was part of my point. OS X has ONE Price and One version. It also has none of the typical Windows issues with Registry hell, reboot after sneezing hard, corruption of basic services by applications (at least typically), etc. As far as 'Free' or Open Source' vs. proprietary software is concerned, I try to take a realistic view. It is somewhat irritating to me to hear 'but that is proprietary software!' as if something smelled bad. I am not trying to be argumentative here, I just want to make a point. I agree on principal in the building block theory of Open Source software, that is that knowledge should be shared and move us all forward without wasting effort in constantly recreating code to do the same things. This is an admirable goal. I try to support open source software that I use and appreciate. I generally do not use free software, since it is generally, but not always worth what you paid for it. What I don't agree with is the Microsoft method of market domination by intimidation. I have a great deal of admiration for what Apple has done with their products in most cases. They are not beyond draconian methods either, but the shear elegance of some of their hardware and software is difficult to argue with. No one else in consumer electronics even comes close, except possibly Nintendo, and very rarely Sony (believe it or not). I have a 24" iMac and it is the best piece of hardware (and software with Leopard) I have ever owned. At their core, Microsoft seems to be about one thing, holding on to their 'lands and titles' like the Nobles of old. Apple seems to aspire to something better in every product they sell. They don't always hit the mark, but in my mind, the aspiration is the thing that deserves recognition and admiration. These are more words than I have ever written on this list, and I apologize for the diatribe.

The simple solution is to set the Video to 'Vesa' when installing, then once running, change the Video card configuration and driver.

Re: your mail
There are several that I have heard of. The Linux Router Project<http://pigtail.net/LRP/index.html>is small and can be run from a floppy, flash drive, or external Hard drive. I have heard of Smoothwall <http://www.smoothwall.org/get/> being run from a Flash Drive, and this link<http://community.smoothwall.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16604>may help. I have personally used the Mandriva Flash v2008 and highly recommend it as a bootable Flash Distribution. It is a complete Desktopdistribution on a 4Gb Flash Drive, but it is not designed to be a firewall although it could be configured to do so using iptables and writing logs to a HD or external location. Finally, the Yoggie Pico <http://www.yoggie.com/howItWorks.shtml> is a complete Hardware Firewall in a Flash Drive type form factor. Just some suggestions. Good luck.

The iMac is a terrific machine. I have a 24" and love it. Rumors are that there may be an update to the iMac line very soon (possibly next week - if you believe them).
