I've run several "benchmarks" on both a 486DX-33 and a Sun IPC with the
|
|
overall result that the PC was in the same ballpark as the Sun. The
|
|
benchmarks were: Drystone test, whetstone test, and a large TeX file
|
|
that came with the SLS distribution (gentle.tex). The PC went from
|
|
a .tex file to a .dvi file, using the same version of tex, in a little
|
|
more than half the time that it took the Sun. OTOH, the Sun was slightly
|
|
faster on the first two tests.
|
|
|
|
For my purposes, there was no need to go further. I had satisfied
|
|
myself that the Linux box was roughly in the same ballpark as the
|
|
workstation on which this message is being composed. However, the
|
|
Sun cost in excess of $10,000 when it was new (the prices have since
|
|
dropped), and that's quite a bit more than was paid for the PC. In
|
|
terms of cost / effectiveness, Linux has already outdistanced the
|
|
Sun.

Hi there,
|
|
|
|
I have already posted this but due to a Probleme with my address in the header
|
|
I repost it an other time:
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have installed the SLS 1.03 release, with some problems.
|
|
|
|
My machine is a 486DX50, 8Mo RAM, 214Mo HD(IDE), screan NEC 4FG
|
|
mouse MS compatible 3 bottons, AZERTY keyboard, NCR 77C22E (2Mo) video card
|
|
with a DOS and a LINUX partitions.
|
|
|
|
1- after runing fdisk and writing the partition table to the disk, I had this
|
|
message:
|
|
79076 unallocated sectors. Is it that bad ???
|
|
|
|
2- at the tex pkgs installation I had thsi message:
|
|
installing texbin...tar:could not create file usr/TeX/lib/tex/inputs:Is
|
|
a directory
|
|
|
|
3- at the end of installation, when the system write the de boot floppy
|
|
I had this message:
|
|
Setting up lilo on $ROOTDISK
|
|
If any specify a DOS partition to (...blabla...):/dev/hda2 (my LINUX
|
|
partition, I answered!!)
|
|
First boot sector of /dev/hda2 doesn't have a lilo signature (what's wrong??)
|
|
|
|
4- an other message;
|
|
open /etc/lilo/map no such file or directory
|
|
|
|
==============end of installation
|
|
|
|
after reboot, I tried to change the american keyboard into french keyboard
|
|
with setkbd but it asked for files I don't know where they are.
|
|
The README file is not very clear for me.
|
|
same problem with the doc of X11, I haven't found the doc for my video card,
|
|
to change the clock parameter and so.
|
|
|
|
Any help greatly apreciated, if any one around here is using a NCR 77C22E
|
|
video card and have a runing Xconfig file, send it to me via email.
|
|

I would prefer email answers if any, there's a lot of trafic in this newsgroup

Thanx a lot

Ok, quick question about the I/O. On the sparcs, are the drives local?
|
|
Or are they mounted through NFS? (Some sites mount local drives through
|
|
NFS for some reason, don't ask me why). NFS is MUCH slower than direct
|
|
access. Also, what OS is being run? We had Sparc classics at work running
|
|
Solaris 2.2 (*PUKE*) - when one of the guys there got SunOS 4.1.3 up
|
|
and running on the classic the difference in performace was unbelievable.
|
|
I would almost dare say twice as fast, though that might be overly
|
|
optimistic, but there was a VERY noticable difference.
|
|
|
|
>Now, I'm kind of biased. I personally believe Sparcs are junk, and that
|
|
>a 40Mhz motherboard with a 386 is just as good as a 40Mhz Sparc motherboard.
|
|
|
|
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say Sun's are better (I happen to
|
|
like a linux machine better than a sun if only for no other reason than
|
|
the fact that the OS is free, and the hardware is cheaper), just to point
|
|
out some reasons for these numbers.
|
|
|
|
D
|
|
|
|
note: Just as an aside, X runs GREAT on my roommate's 486/33 w 8megs.
|
|
(I don't own my own machine... :( - but i do have a terminal
|
|
hooked up to the serial port, which i'm using now while he works
|
|
on C++ ;) - it runs faster than the DECstation 2100's at school,
|
|
and some of the SPARC's that we had at work.

Slackware is a Linux distribution like SLS. Here are some others:
|
|
|
|
MCC (from the Manchester Computing Center)
|
|
TAMU (Texas A&M University)
|
|
Debian (Soon to be released)
|

Personally I've used SLS and Slackware. I prefer Slackware because it has

many less bugs (at least in my case).

Hope this helps,

I have been successfully running linux for about a month now and I have friends
|
|
that are trying it out but one of them seems to be having a problem setting
|
|
up user accounts. I told him to type:
|
|
useradd -m name
|
|
passwd name
|
|
Which works fine for me but when the users log in they don't have write
|
|
permission to their own directory. I thought the problem was easy enough
|
|
to rectify so I said do (at the /home prompt):
|
|
chmod 777 name
|
|
chown name name
|
|
chgrp other name
|
|
Which set the permissions on the users directory and it still didn't work
|
|
so I had him change the mode for the /home directory to 777. And it still
|
|
doesn't work...
|
|
|
|
I'm out of suggestions. I beginning to wonder how mine ever worked :)
|
|
|
|
It's probably something stupid so don't make me(us) feel bad...:(

Although it's not much I can add this:

My Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V (running Linux) is about 3 times faster than

Help! :)
|
|
I am not new to Linux,, but I can't figure this one out.
|
|
I have a 386-33 8megs RAM 220meg IDE, mono, 10BT ,etc,etc....
|
|
|
|
And a 14.4k modem as /dev/cua1
|
|
I have set up uugetty, so I can dial out with cu, etc....
|
|
And I can dialin and either login as a regular user OR login as a SLIP
|
|
user and automatically start "dip"
|
|
|
|
The problem I am having is that if you drop the connection when running
|
|
a program (ex. "dip", "ping", etc...) it just hangs the process, instead
|
|
of killing it and uugetty respawning.
|
|
|
|
What gives? The "dip" man page says it will die it it looses carrier.
|
|
And if you log out normally it resets fine.
|
|
Also in "cu" if you do a ~. the modem resets (showing that DTR is
|
|
working correctly).
|
|
|
|
One other question. How do I setup a Charon LPR process to print BINARY
|
|
files to my LJ2 connected to /dev/lp1?
|
|
It is a remote lpr request, and it works for text files but not binary
|
|
files. Pretty useless for anything with different fonts than my printer.
|
|
|
|
All help is wanted! :)

I've got a very similar machine, except for the controller is ide
|
|
and the motherboard is EISA/VESA/ISA (oh, and a different VGA board).
|
|
|
|
Actually, I assume that the above system is ALSO VESA since the
|
|
quoted SVGA board is "(32bit VLB)" :-)
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I'm the only user, and its WONDERFUL ;-)

>: As you can see, I have not fixed the monitor and the video card.
|
|
|
|
Don't let anybody talk you down from your 17" monitor, that's what
|
|
I've got and its GREAT.

I'd agree completely. My only "real" sorrow with my system is that I did
|
|
not get a bigger drive - mine is ALREADy completely full...

Subject: Driver for NE2100 ethernetboard available?
|
|
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 93 17:13:37 GMT
|
|
|
|
Is there any Linux support for Novell's NE2100 ethernetboard?
|
|
I know that this board is not compatible to the NE2000 board,
|
|
which is already supported. Any information is highly
|
|
appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Thank you
|

Dunno but they are aging fast...

My advice to you is, get MCC and install Xfree over the top. It's not
|
|
difficult (from the posts I have seen recently SLS seems to make it harder :/)
|
|
|
|
I had 90% of MCC installed, plus all of XFree except PEX and the fonts, in
|
|
35MB, so you shouldn't have any problems.

UNIX was not designed to stop its users from doing stupid things,
|

as that would also stop them from doing clever things.
