[SLUG] scaling postscript files
Dear SLUG, I have a ridiculously large postscript file that I'd link to shrink down to print on an A4 page (mostly for entertainment value admittedly). What's the easiest way to do this shrinking?

[SLUG] Problem with X Window in Debian 3.0R2 Woody
Hi, I am new to Debian, I have been using RH and Mandrake for the past 4 years!!! Just last week I got the 7 CDs of Debian 3.0R2 from UNSW, and installed fine in my P3-800. However the XFree86 doesn't seems to want to work with my configuration, I have select NV for my Nvidia GeForce 2MX 32-MB Video Card, and enter my own H and V Frequency of my Viewsonic E70-3 17 inch monitor. The error message out of Xfree86 is "Can't find the monitor", however just few line before it says moniter information is there, I have switch back to Mandrake 10 after trying everything for a week, as I really need linux for embedded system study. The other thing I notice is there seems to be no monitor information database in /var/X11/ there is no sub directory of "monitor" as state in the Xfree86 manual!!! Sorry I should wrote down the acutally error message, however if anyone know what is the problem of this, pelease do tell me. I really want to learn the linux from buttom up.

If you wish to reduce the entire page by 2 times add this line:
0.5 0.5 scale
Here is an example pulled from some playing that I did a while ago:
You can see where I have added a "2 2 scale" to double the size.
What is does is to change the scale of the deafult units that the
PostScript uses.

I'm running 2 * 120GB SATA disks using Linux software RAID, on an el-cheap-o Silicon Image controller and the Linux IDE subsystem siimage driver. Working well so far, though I had to leave LILO for GRUB to get RAID1 booting going correctly with SATA. Sounds like "upgrading" to the SCSI subsystem's libata-based driver might be a good idea though (and not a hard thing to do with software RAID - the system won't care that my md0 is suddenly sda/sdc instead of hde/hdg). - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norwayhttp://2004.guadec.org/ "Having strings in a language seems to be a case of premature optimization." - Paul Graham -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

OK sounds like it's not going to stop cases where the employee signs a form stating that email belongs to the company and the company reserves the right to check email from time to time for the purpose of smooth running and non-business related email.

[SLUG] New Membership Benefit
Dear SLUG members, After some lengthy negotiations, the Sydney Linux Users Group committee are pleased to announce the availability of the SCO Intellectual Property License for Linux at a reduced rate for SLUG members. Ordinarily, these licenses are $699 for a uniprocessor server, and $199 per Linux desktop. As a special benefit for SLUG members, the reduced rate of $698 per server and $198 per desktop is now available. As many of you know, SCO have recently revealed that several lines of SCO header files appear to have leaked into the Linux kernel, giving them ownership of the entire code base. As such, the SCO Intellectual Property License for Linux is now required in order to legally use a Linux system. SLUG is very pleased to provide its members with the opportunity to become SCOSource compliant, and the boss of SCO Australia and and New Zealand, Kieran O'Shaughnessy, is reported to be "just this side of ecstatic" at the opportunity to bring in some sales. In order to assist SLUG members with taking advantage of this deal, we've provided SCO Australia and New Zealand with a complete list of all our members, and they'll be in touch with everyone soon!

Despite the ample evidence that the very worthy www.groklaw.net has compiled, I don't think anyone can say yet what the courts WILL state. After all, both the Linux kernel and the SCO source trees were written in the VERY SAME CHARACTER SET, which is clear evidence to me that there may be copying going on.

Re: [SLUG] New Membership Benefit
Hi Kevin and all, To my knowledge and understanding what Kevin stated here is right as far as this issue of SLUG selling Linux licenses to its membership and audience. That this ownership issue, whether it is SCO or the FREE SOFTWARE COMMUNITY is still open. SLUG should not become a vehicle or instrument by which SCO is given de-facto recognition as the owner of the LINUX CODES without being settled by the proper courts as it is currently being pursued by our FRIENDS at IBM, NOVELL, HP, etc. I agree with anyone who wish to distance SLUG from this situation. SLUG Committee perhaps is jumping the gun. Don't SLUG be neutral and wait a while while this case is the Courts ? This is my opinion. I wish to be enlightened. > Sorry forgot to include sluglist > Hmmm Didn't /. have something in about IBM filing for a decloratory > judgment > in the SCO case.

We're still looking for someone that knows the appropriate jargon to write it up correctly. My summation of my stance is: SLUG takes the privacy of its members and mailing list subscribers very seriously. Personal details are only collected to meet legal requirements and allow correct notifications of AGM and SGM or other official SLUG business. At no stage will SLUG be selling or making available the details of members without their permission. Details of the mailing list subcriptions are available to the volunteer list administrators, chosen by the SLUG committee, and email addresses can obviously be collected by anyone subscribed. Subscribers concerned about this are probably best off using ficticious details when subscribing to the list.

[SLUG] samba share and XP
Hi, I'm running Redhat 9 and samba 2.2.7a. I recently setup an XP on my network but couldn't get it to recognise a share on the linux box. Usually on W98 and W2000 I'd use the *.reg files that come with the samba distribution. This would ensure that the password encryption is consistent. There is a '.reg' file for XP, but running that had no effect and I couldn't map a network drive from the XP box. Does anyone have experience with setting up shares on samba and getting them to work with XP? any input appreciated, kr, Luke -- "when my computer smiles, I'm happy" ===.~ ~, Luke (Terry) Vanderfluit |'/'] Mobile: 0421 276 282\~/` -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
