You SHOUDL be confused, because so was the last poster! :)
|
|
|
|
Linux is a UNIX work-alike. In these matters it is very similar. UNIX is
|
|
a true pre-emptive multi-tasking operating system. This means that
|
|
multiple 'processes' may be run at once and that they share the available
|
|
resources, such as the CPU. A program will be one or more processes (a
|
|
program can 'fork' itself to start new processes. Thsi is hwo most daemons
|
|
operate.) Because you can run many process at once, you can run many
|
|
programs, or many copies of the same program at once.
|
|
|
|
UNIX implements multi-user access by running a seperate 'shell' process
|
|
for each user. (There are actually other process invovled too, such as
|
|
getty which handles the terminal io, but thats more detail then you
|
|
probobly need.)
|
|
|
|
So yes, UNIX is multi-threaded in the sens that there are multiple threads
|
|
of control operating in a time-sliced fashion. The term 'threading' is
|
|
often used in multi-tasking system however to denote a 'lesser form' of
|
|
multi-taskign that goes on completely within a single process. thsi is
|
|
also sometimes called 'light-weight multi-tasking'. UNIX (and Linux)
|
|
don't inhearently preclude this, but implementation of it is up to the
|
|
makers of a light-weight tasking library (such as the berkley light-weight
|
|
multi-tasking library) or teh compiler system in cases where light-weight
|
|
multi-tasking is built directly into the compiler system (as in Modula2).
|
|
|
|
All of the above are generalizations. If you REALLY want to know more
|
|
then you can pick up an intro operating systems text. Particularly
|
|
useful would be one that discuss UNIX in detail.

Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of

I managed to install X on my linux box and seem to have configures Xconfig
|

properly. So upon starting "startx" everything runs smoothly. My question
|
|
is, when I exit X, i see the message . . .
|
|
|
|
"xinit: unknown error (errno 0) client error"
|
|
|
|
What is this aerror for. Everything seems to work fine but this is bugging
|
|
me.
|
|
|
|
Also, does anyone have any mwm-like system.fvwm configerations I could use.
|

There are a few in the slackware distribution, but I'm sure ther must be

some real hot ones out there.

Running linux, with a CD-ROM, can one access (read) commercial cd's such

If the whole point is to give linux things that windows has already, why not
|
|
just wait for WINE? Running the programs they already know and love will
|
|
appeal much more strongly to the average dos/win user.
|
|
|
|
About a year ago (as someone already mentioned in this thread), some people
|
|
tried to write a WYSIWYG LaTeX interface. If something with that kind of
|
|
power is not the object of this discussion, whoever takes this project on
|
|
will just be wasting their time, in my opinion. There may be no WINE before
|
|
its time, but I think WINE will be running word for windows long before a
|
|
comparably powerful packages can be put together for Linux. The lead is just
|
|
too great.
|
|
|
|
I think that rather than trying to appeal to the dos and windows users, this
|
|
project should follow the Unix tradition of doing things right.
|
|
|
|
There is no need to appeal to the dos and windows users. They are flocking
|
|
to Linux almost as fast as they are hearing about linux, and the reasons are
|
|
growing daily. But I for one would hate to see Linux turned into merely a
|
|
multitasking dos. One of the evils of Word and WordPerfect etc., is that you
|
|
can't without great difficulty, work on files in a different word processor.
|
|
They do this and other things on purpose, to make you dependant on their
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
I suggest that people reconsider a WYSIWYG LaTeX interface, keeping in mind
|
|
that it would not have to contain every LaTeX feature in order to be useable
|
|
and to create LaTeX output. There would be no need to know LaTeX, yet it
|
|
would be there for manual tweaking and editing with vi at your friend's
|
|
house. Also, it already exists and is an exceptional package. Why reinvent
|
|
the wheel? Just put a motor on it and watch it go.
|
|
|
|
Just my opinion.

The hurd is (mostly) hardware independant, but the underlying Mach

I'm currently connecting to the internet via a dialin PPP connection. I've

configured smail to route mail through my PPP host as a smart_host (I'm using
|
|
it right now), but it only works if I'm actually connected via PPP. If I
|
|
try to send mail while I'm not connected, I get the following:
|
|
|
|
|------------------------- Failed addresses follow: ---------------------|
|
|
lenz@comm.mot.com ... transport smtp: connect: Network is unreachable
|
|
|------------------------- Message text follows: ------------------------|
|
|
|
|
I've tried using the 'retry' file and durations in my smail config, but it
|
|
insists on dying if my PPP connection is not up when I try to send mail.
|
|
|
|
Is there ANY way to be able to have smail retry sending mail if the smtp
|
|
connection is down?
|
|
|
|
Right now I've kludged it my having smail only queue mail. Then when I start
|
|
up my PPP connection, I enable smail to process the queue in the background.
|
|
When I shut down my PPP connection it likewise kills smail so that it won't

try sending anything. Certainly there must be a better way.
|

ANY help would be appreciated (I can forward my config files if needed).

I have been having trouble getting Linux up on a system

the Bernoulli. The controller is an Adaptec AHA-1520 but

Hah. Apparently you didn't hear that the Am486 DX/2 66 could be safely

over-clocked to run at 80Mhz. All the DX2-80 is is a relabeled DX2-66.

That's why it's not much more expensive. It's the same chip. Anyone wanna

The chip is manufactured (here in Austin, I might add) by Advanced Micro
|
|
Devices (AMD). It is an internally clock-doubled 33MHz CPU, just like the
|
|
i486DX2-66. As far as I know, there are no 'real' 66 MHz chips. The pin-out
|
|
is identical to the Intel; it is supposed to work in Intel 486-compatible
|
|
motherboards, although from experience this is not always the case.

I am running Linux 1.1.45 on a mystery motherboard (UMC chipset) with an AMD
|
|
486DX2/66 with no problems, although my first motherboard choice (OPTi chipset)
|
|
had trouble when I upgraded the cache from 64K to 256K. Older versions of the
|
|
chip reportedly had problems with Ghostscript, but gs (and everything
|
|
else) runs just fine on mine. Be sure to get one with the MS Windows-
|
|
compatible logo on it; these are newer and more compatible, and you can cover
|
|
up the logo with a heatsink!

I'd love to come, but I work until 5pm, and with rush hour traffic, probably
|
|
wouldn't be there til 7. In the future, why not have the meetings start a
|
|
bit later for those of us that are not located at Tech, or are not students
|
|
and have a full-time job and have to travel a bit to get there????
|
|
P...p...p...p...p...please!!!
|
|
|
|
(also a little more advanced notice would be nice :)

Same thing is happening to my X.

Anybody knows what is the problem? Any fix?

Any help will be appreciated.
