Well I don't know about our archives stinking... grepmail on my 30 meg vox-tech archive takes a few seconds. well, i guess our archive are awesome. the search utility is *useless*. it doesn't even always print mail correctly. don't GET me started... grepmail sounds interesting. from its name, i assume it knows mbox and can print out entire messages based on grep patterns. does it thread? I think I've come to the conclusion that I'll tell latex to put a .5 inch boarder around the page, pick a readable font size, figure out how many lines fit in a given page, and have my perl stuff spit out long tables of the correct length for a page... using pagebreak when needed. sure. if you feel up to it, it might be nice to post a summary of your task at hand and solution. prolly a lot of writing, but i'd sure be interested in reading it. Also from reading over the archives, it seems to me that tex/latex is very stagnate. latex2e was released sometime in 1994 and version 3 project which started then... doesn't really have anything released. Sigh... true. the dev team is a little secretive. but here's what we can expect from latex 3: http://www.latex-project.org/guides/ltx3info/node4.html pete -- Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler. -- Albert Einstein GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

[vox-tech] Old PC
Title: Message I have an old Dell Optiplex GS+ in my office. I thought It might make a dandy little Linux box, but it's pretty darn slow by today's standards. At a cool 200MHz at a whopping 32MB of RAM, I think a current distro would run poorly (if at all) on the box. So my question is: What version of Linux should I put on this little guy? I'd like to use it as an internet terminal and word processor. John Marcotte

[vox-tech] AC97 Sound Card
i'm not even sure if the problem is the sound card, but when i play music from any player or given any file to download or a link to the internet that would require any sound, the sound sounds like the chipmunks are speaking or singing and it's sped up. what's going on? i have an IBM NetVista computer, it's pretty old.

Re: [vox-tech] Old PC
If you can a little RAM, then you could have a nice little box. I may have a few sticks lying around if you can check to see if it needs 72 pin simm, or 168 pin dimm memory.

John Marcotte http://www.biznerds.com/ Not sure how well X programs in general will work on the box (especially a full featured web browser), but I recently put together a box with a similar configuration in 64MB of RAM using Debian unstable, AbiWord (OpenOffice was too big), and a choice of Galeon or Dillo as a web browser. The only real problem was that on the monitor they had, there would be redraw problems with Galeon (although I never noticed any redraw problems when setting it up using my own monitor.) -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
