I'd like to obtain a word processor for linux, of the MS Word or IslandWrite
|
||||
variety: WYSIWIG, menu-driven, et. al. Does any of you know of such a beast?
|
||||
Please email me in addition to posting, particularly if you have one installed
|
||||
(vendor email invited as well).

If linux had 1) a good word processor, 2) Quicken, and 3) ran my dos/windows
|
||||

|
||||
appreciated!

For myself and at least one other person, the fix was to upgrade to
|
||||
kernel 1.1.50. It's in the Incoming directory on sunsite. In my case,
|

since my slip server itself uses a Cisco for it's default route, I also had

Well the problem is what constitutes an interface and thats something GNU
|
||||
do need to clean up. There are numerous other little problems with it like
|
||||
any other license
|
||||
|
||||
eg - Can BSD code be incorporated and redistributed as part
|
||||
of a GPL program: Specifically does the BSD license
|
||||
requirement for credits in the documentation etc count
|
||||
as an 'additional restriction' on distribution as the GPL
|
||||
requires there are none. If it does (as my legal info says)
|
||||
then you can't mix BSD with GPL and distribute the result.
|
||||
If it doesn't can I therefore sell software GPL'd but with
|
||||
a documentation requirement of must come with this expensive
|
||||
booklet I've written ?
|
||||
|
||||
- How do inline functions in include files related to the GPL
|
||||
|
||||
- What about structures from include files
|
||||
|
||||
- When is a dynamic link a dynamic link
|
||||
|
||||
- Interface issues. If I build a system that can use an LGPL
|
||||
shared library I don't have to give a damn about the LGPL -
|
||||
It hasn't got any gnu code in it and if people choose to
|
||||
plug the two together its up to them.
|
||||
|
||||
A GPL v3 seems needed for at least one of these issues.

This only applies if the original sale did not already include a copy
|
||||
of the source code. The intent here is that there should be no
|
||||
opportunity for a company to sell a program object code (such as a
|
||||
binary) for a low price and then the source code for a high price so
|
||||
that the profit once again derives from the "restricted" access to the
|
||||
source code. If, however, the program is delivered in one package
|
||||
which includes the source code, then it may be sold at any price.
|
||||
|
||||
The idea is simple. You can sell GPLed code, you just can't sell it
|
||||
without also providing ready access to its source code. If you want
|
||||
to distribute without the hassle of delivering megs of C files to
|
||||
users who usually won't care, then there is a provision (quoted above)
|
||||
to make life easy for you.

Also highly recommended is: TCP/IP Network Administration. It has

^^^^^^^

Actually, this is not true. We purchased the ``Accelerated'' X server
|
||||
from X-Inside a few weeks ago. We also purchased an ATI MACH 64
|
||||
specifically because of this and other advertisements which make such
|
||||
claims. After working through versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the server
|
||||
without success, I called them back to get some technical assistance.
|
||||
They finally told me that a later release would fix the problem (It's
|
||||
not that the performance was poor -- the server never worked at all.)
|
||||
They promised to FedEx a working version to me ASAP. It never
|
||||
arrived. I called back. It was to arrive yesterday. Still nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
Jeremy Chatfield has not returned a single phone call. Gary Anderson
|
||||
was great at selling me on X-Inside but has failed to produce a
|
||||
working product or deliver any of his promises. I am actively
|
||||
seeking a refund.
|
||||
|
||||
Let the buyer beware.

|

|

Can a Linux user tell me what is the length of the clock tick on Linux ?
|
||||
The following program, when compiled and run, will print it out:
|
||||
|
||||
>-----------------------------------------------------------------<
|
||||
#include <unistd.h>
|
||||
main ()
|
||||
{
|
||||
printf ("%d\n", sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK));
|
||||
}
|
||||
>-----------------------------------------------------------------<
|
||||
|
||||
Secondly, has anyone experimented with making the timer granularity
|
||||
finer ? If so, what sort of overhead is incurred ?

Yup, I'm doing this. I get 40.something BogoMips on it. I'm using an AMD
|
||||
486DX2-66 with an SiS 486-471 VL bus motherboard.
|
||||
|
||||
One catch. It crashes randomly unless I have the case cover off and a
|
||||
desk fan blowing on the motherboard. And yes, I do have a fan on the case
|
||||
(*and* a CPU fan), but it wasn't enough.
|
||||
|
||||
I'd still recommend it, though. There's a hole on the case to mount a
|
||||
second fan, and I think once I do that the problems will clear up -- the
|
||||
one that came with the case is pretty weak.

We already heard that AMD dx2-66 can be work as dx2-80.
|
||||
|
||||
But do anybody think/had tried to work P5 90 at frequency of 100?
|
||||
Or work P5 60 at frequency 66MHz?
