This just can't happen. That is, what Linux is today is free and under
GPL so you can have it. There are certainly commercial packages that run
under Linux and such (see the ads in Linux Journal) but that is a totally
different matter.

LINUX JOURNAL FAQ
6/23/94
This FAQ contains information about Linux Journal, the magazine
covering the Linux Community. Topics covered are:
o general/history
o content
o subscriptions
o writing for LJ
o advertising in LJ
o Linux-related product releases
o consultants directory
o distributors/retailers
o misc
o if all else fails ...
General/History
We see our mission as serving the Linux community while working
to promote the use of Linux. Although most of our initial sub-
scribers have come from the Internet we expect half of our future
readers will find LJ as their initial source of information on
Linux. This means that LJ can provide a way for people to find
hardware, software and help in getting themselves going. We see
this as a benefit to the Linux newsgroups by reducing "newbie"
questions as well to our advertisers by providing them with a new
way to reach potential new users.
The idea for producing Linux Journal arose in early 1993. In late
February, 1994 we mailed our first issue. The magazine received a
very positive response - both on the Internet and elsewhere. Is-
sue #4, the August issue, will be released in mid-July.
SSC, publisher of Unix and C pocket references for over ten
years, is now the publisher, with Phil Hughes having the overall
responsibility for the complete publication. Phil's 11 years in
publishing and 15 years of experience with Unix will be applied
to ensure the quality of the publication as well as its promo-
tion.
Michael K. Johnson is now the editor. He founded the original
"man project", which was the forerunner of the current "Linux
Documentation Project", and maintains a few Linux packages, as
well as the "Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide".
Content
Each issue of Linux Journal offers articles that appeal to new-
comers as well as serious technical articles for long-time Unix
users. Although LJ is Linux-specific, many of the articles are of
interest to Unix users and other users of freely redistributable
software.
Regular columns include:
o Interviews with prominent Linux personalities
o Linux Programming Tips by Michael Johnson
o What's GNU? by Arnold Robbins
o Cooking with Linux by Matt Welsh
o The Debian Distribution by Ian Murdock
o New Products
o Letters to the Editor
o Book and Product Reviews
o Linux Counter
o Linux Consultant's Directory
Features that have appeared in Linux Journal include:
o Tips for Optimizing Memory Usage by Jeff Tranter
o Sendmail+IDA by Vince Skahan
o World Wide Web by Bernie Thompson
o Comparison of Linux, Windows NT and OS/2 by Bernie Thompson
o Onyx: a copylefted 4GL by Michael Kraehe
o Icmake: a new make tool by Frank Brokken and Karel Kubat
o Linux and Hams: what hams involved in Linux have to say
o Hints & Tips for Optimizing Linux Disk Usage by Jeff Tranter
o Linux Systems Administration by Mark Komarinski
o Linux Journal Survey Results
o Linux Around the World
o The Linux File System Standard by Daniel Quinlan
o Linux Distributions
o Wine Status
Advertisers include:
o Algorithms Corporation
o Amtec Engineering, Inc.
o Basmark
o Fintronic
o FYL
o InfoMagic
o Prime Time Freeware

Subscriptions
Subscriptions are available internationally through SSC directly.
They are also available in specific regions through our interna-
tional distributors. Magazines are mailed internationally through
a "surface air lift" service which delivers the magazines quickly
to the countries of destination where local mail will be handled
by surface delivery.
Subscription rates are as follows:
$19/year U.S., $24/year Canada, $29/year Foreign
$34/2 years U.S., $44/2 years Canada, $49/2 years Foreign
Back issues are available for $4 ($6 airmail) while supplies last.

At this address we can accept payment by checks in U.S. funds
drawn on a U.S. bank or a foreign bank in their native currency,
American Express, Visa and MasterCard. Since the internet is not
a secure network, you may not wish to send credit card numbers
via email.
Subscriptions start with the next issue of Linux Journal. Back
issues, if still available, are $4 each or $6 each for air mail
delivery.
Writing for Linux Journal
Articles in Linux Journal cover the range from "how do I get
started" to kernel hacking. We intend to try to strike a balance
so the magazine will be accessible to the newcomer and yet con-
tinue to contain useful information to long-term Linux users.
Also, in order to legitimize Linux to many business unix users,
we need to offer articles on commercial uses for Linux. They can
be in the form of documenting a place/job where Linux is being
used commercially, a technical article on the development of a
commercial application, or a review of a commercial product.
If you are considering writing for LJ or have a lead to a commer-
cial use, contact our editor, Michael Johnson. He can be reached
via e-mail at ljeditor@sunsite.unc.edu, or as Editor, Linux Jour-
nal, P.O. Box 85867, Seattle, WA 98145-1867
Advertising in LJ
Linux Journal is supported by a combination of subscription and
advertising revenue. Rates are competitive for the number of
readers we reach and our specific target audience matches the
needs of those who have products targeted to the Linux market.
We currently only offer display advertising. Future plans include
classified advertising and a card deck. If you are interested,
request a media kit and rate card.

Linux-related Product Releases
If you have a new product that you feel is of interest to the
Linux community, send us a press release. We have a regular new
products column and will publish information on the most relevant
products.
We also have a review team and may be interested in reviewing
specific products. If you would be willing to make a review copy
of a product available, please let us know.

E-mail: newprod@fylz.com
Consultant's Directory
We maintain a directory of consultants that work with Linux. The
directory is published periodically in Linux Journal. The first
listing is currently free, and rates for subsequent listings are
reasonable. To be listed, send your name, company, address, phone
and e-mail and/or fax contact information along with a brief de-
scription of what you work on to:
Consultant Directory, Linux Journal, P.O. Box 85867, Seattle, WA 98145-1867

E-mail: joanne@fylz.com
Distributors/Retailers
We are in the process of setting up newsstand distribution of LJ.
Computer Literacy Bookstores and Barnes & Noble carry the maga-
zine and we expect to get distribution to many other stores in
the next few months.
If you are aware of a store that should carry LJ you can suggest
they contact SSC at (206) 527-3385 about reselling or send us e-
mail at dist@ssc.com with their contact information.
Misc
Q: Is LJ available Electronically?
A: Not yet. Once we have the paper copy under control we plan to
work on this. It requires contract arrangements with both authors
and advertisers before we can do it.
Q: Can information printed in LJ be reprinted?
A: Authors may use the material with the only restriction being
that if they use it immediately they include the phrase "reprint-
ed with permission of Linux Journal". Other people wishing to use
material should contact LJ. Permission is generally granted ex-
cept where restricted by author or other prior copyright.
If All Else Fails ...
If your question isn't answered here, send e-mail to ljedi-
tor@sunsite.unc.edu. We will send a e-mail response and, if it
is a common question we will add it to this FAQ. If you don't
have e-mail, you can fax questions to (206) 526-0803 or call
(206) 524-8338.

If you are downloading, pick Slackware. Very popular, very modular and it

But, the best bet is get a CD-ROM. It is cheap and well worth it.

Well, I just "hinved" the machine and apparently it's back to 150MHz.
I guess that chip was taken out of there. Over the summer it had been
saying 200MHz. Oh well. I can live with 150, I gues. . .

Okay folks...having read the PCI spec a couple times thru now.
The PCI 2.0 spec has been around for many many months. I saw it
first about a year ago if memory serves. This spec has always defined a
64 bit bus and a 32 bit bus. Both sizes are supported.
REALITY CHECK:
All of the peripheral parts I'm familiar with are using a 32 bit interface
today(that doesn't mean that 64 bit parts don't exist, I've just not seen
any yet!) SO, today if you go buy a PCI based system, it'll be a 32 bit
bus.

Hey. I've been using UNIX for ... lets see... 28 years now. For about 24
of them I've been using vi. I NEVER use sedf aor awk. (Well, to be
honest, I learned PERL last year and use it from time to time... its far

magnitude faster. It can also do binary output, a real limitation of awk.)

They did this to preserve the print control and port control features
to make it identical to the MS-DOS versions. I can't say I am thrilled
about having it (I would feel fine throwing that away), but it works
fine here nonetheless.

This is not true.... certainly not in 5.1. You click on file, you do

It does crash if the Xserver runs out of pixmap memory- I have complained to

I have 100 people using it all day long (on the same machine, no less).
I would estimate our average crash rate in the text version is about
1 time per month (which affects only a single person, and the work they
were doing is saved automatically in /tmp/*.bk). In the X version
(less used since most of our terminals
are text based), I would estimate about 1 crash in every 20 sessions.

I have never seen that behavior in WordPerfect for SCO Unix....
Although I have seen this happen on a few other programs.

There definately appears to be a problem with the Ultrix version based

No software is perfect.... especially not huge programs which run on
all kinds of machines, try to do everything in the world, and try to meet
everyone's needs. (Darn- I should copywrite that!)

Ok I have a question for you guys. Since I didn't here the beginning of
this thread I have this particular problem:
I have a problem. There is a machine which I dial up and get
a slip link to. On this machines network I can access all of the
machines. However I have to telnet to a machine I have an account on
on that network to be able to telnet or ftp to the rest of the internet.
Is there a way I can somehow have the machine that I do have an account
on to act as some sort of a gateway. I've tried specifiing that machine
as my gateway to no avail.

I want to make it look to my machine as if I am connected directly to
the internet. And if possible to the internet that I am connected directly
to it. I am assuming the termserver will not route packets out side of
the network the machine "bert" lies on. I have an account on the machine
bert, which is how I access the internet. I would like to be able to
do what I do from bert directly from my machine, which happens to be
a linux box.
Here is what I see when I type the route command on my box. By the way
which is a Linux machine.
