2003-06-13 Thread Jonathan I. Nori
Hi all! I stumbled across this today while searching for some information on my ancient Gateway Handbook 486 laptop. Given the number of posts on the list about installing Linux on various laptops, I figured this page would be of use to some people: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ Have fun! Jon

Re: [expert] Pentium4 motherboards keeping ISA slots

2003-03-12 Thread Jonathan I. Nori
I don't know about a P4 version, but Biostar's M6 series of motherboards all supported various Celeron/P3/Athlon configurations and each had an ISA slot. They just recently discontinued this particular line, though, so you may have call around to some different suppliers to find one. I got mine

Now *this* is the kind of linux application development that gets me giddy. *grin* Once you can make a business case to replace the back-end systems of a business with linux, *then* you have a real shot at converting the desktops (you listening Mark? *hehehe*). I might have to have Mr. Weaver s

Re: [expert] Bandwidth partitioning

2003-02-07 Thread Jonathan I. Nori
Hi! Within Morpheus you can set it to only use a certain amount of bandwidth. For the most part, it's fairly good about it (except that the bandwidth controls don't apply to the spyware/leechware portions of the program). The only other way to do this is with an expensive router with bandwidth-

[expert] Something that just might work for Mandrake...

2003-01-16 Thread Jonathan I. Nori
Hi all! Here's a small plan that could help Mandrake get out of some of its financial woes and possibly help to make Mandrake an even larger force in the Linux community and help Linux in general (but Mandrake specifically) to make some serious inroads into the business desktop market. This id

2003-01-10 Thread Jonathan I. Nori
Hi! Okay, I think I know what you've got going on here. Do you have your systems set to automagically share their printers over the network? If so, what is happening is that the linux boxes with no local printer are attempting to share the network printer back to the box hosting the printer. So

Hi! Sounds like you want an SGI or Sun Solaris workstation. The kinds of tools you seem to be looking for really aren't in a mature (if they even exist yet) stage on the linux platform. If you want to do professional, high-end audio/video/animation editing (which you seem to be hinting at) yo

Hi! If this is "just" a server, and not a workstation, then there really isn't a reason to put a CDRW in it. However, with the amount of disk space you're dropping into this box I would get some kind of high-capacity tape backup system, as you are mmore than likely going to need to back up fil

Hi! Does anyone here happen to know which file system Quantum Snap servers use? We've got one in-house one of our users managed to delete a *very* important file, and because of a way the Snap server runs we didn't have a good backup on DLT, and so we're trying to run some linux utilities agai

Hi! Now, I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, so just bear with me for a minute. Can I set up a linux box, Mandrake or otherwise, that will emulate a Netware Bindery box and allow drive mapping through NDS? I want to be able to move some storage space off the netware boxes and onto a linux b
