Printing on Linux, or *ix for that matter, is in an embarrassing state
of affairs in quite a number of ways.
Not as embarrassing as under windows where you need a few thousand
dollar to buy a tool that prints your documents as pdf and where nobody
has ever heard of anything called postscript.

Ghostscript for windows is a free download. So is acroread.

True, but this is a problem in peoples' heads,

There is another free download here which enables you to convert your
documents
At least in windows one can kill a print job which has already
started[1].
A bit naughty but I have been known to pull out the cable in the past!
If you mean the data cable, this doesn't even stop the printing (printer
buffer content still gets printed). The power cable/switch does the
trick
Hello Dave G,
I understand that Win$ is a non-starter with 64bit???
Sorry but there are 64bit Win O/s systems out there.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/experiences/nightmares etc.
before I take the plunge??
Only building Win OS machines and once i sorted out the non-default bios
We have a Dynalink 302G which works fine and was cheap but I cannot browse
into it with Konq or Firefox or Mozilla. (IE works fine and that really
peeves me off 'cos I do not use Windows at home)
Firefox worked with 302g for me. New or old version?

Hi,
Have just gotten home from a mini install fest of my own ... putting the latest
Redhat version of their Enterprise server on a 5 - 6 year old IBM x series box.
It was a last minute job from a client who has prevericated over this for a
while.
All went well despite the old gear (broken

Yes - WPA all the way.
For how to set up a linux mchine with WPA please refer to this

I still haven't got hand-off working well between APs on the same lan, and
when I go home I am on another network with a different PSK.

Or, stop everyone from trying to break your wlan, set it up with no
encryption at all, do traffic shaping on the router and allow say 2kbps
for a few open ports to allow neighbours and visitors to use the net to
check for email
They use an accounting package which bases its files on
the Linux server. When a user uses the system it works
fine. when they try to re-index the system it changes the
user permissions on the files. As an example.
/Local/SybizDrive - drwxrwxrwx root:root
datafile.dbf -rwxrwxrwx
Sorry but there are 64bit Win O/s systems out there.
that was my understanding as well
Only building Win OS machines and once i sorted out the non-default bios
settings it worked a treat.
so if I understand correctly 32 bit programs (incl. win98/XP) will still run
on AMD64 architecture

ftp://linux.jetstreamgames.co.nz appears to be functional.
that would be because they are different machines :)
The ftp server was down for a while though.

You have a point...
In an ideal world, bandwidth would be a lot cheaper, caps wouldn't exist,
and we could share the left-over capacity nicely.
However its not, and remember the other side of things... give people an
inch and they'll take a mile. IE, provide a service like that, and noone
will
further to my post:
I was also planning to have a suitable Lan etc. installed so that I'm all set
for the next installfest, the mobo I'm looking at has a Lan onboard?
(MOBO:
GIGABYTE GA-K8NSC-939 nForce3 Ultra, Socket 939,
Dual channel DDR400/333/266 Gigabit Lan,
SATA.AGP 8x,8-CH Audio, USB 2.0)
I have searched and found no cause for horse to go belly up last week.
Evidence included
A load average of 15-16
A number of processes in state D, including a bunch of
apt-extracttemplate processes
Giving a reboot command from remote hung the machine.

The Gigabit LAN points to there being a suitable network already present.
It's been a vary long time since I came across a lan that linux didn't
support - except for early D-link gigabit adapters which lock up.
As for cables - how long do you want it... I've got about 200M of cat 5e
at home (:

Just a straight through, say 5 metres should be long enough to reach
most parts of Robert's garage :)

no worries, I'm new to the networking thing, either way I'll sort

Actually I have just realised that if I was more patient then it does work in
FireFox - but it takes minutes before the first page appears - why is that do
you think?
