I'm not goping to flame you back, because I have some problems myself
|
|
with the 'version .0 always has bugs' view. (I really don't know enough
|
|
about GNU history to have a very intelligent view on this, just a feelign
|
|
that the only products I've ever seen where this was literraly true were
|
|
all made by Microsoft.)
|
|
|
|
On your subejct of 'come on and help us develop' though, i wanted to make
|
|
you aware of anothre side. Myself, I would love to do some Linux kernel
|
|
hacking, but i don't because I work 40+ hours a week programming for a
|
|
living, which only leaves a small amoutn of time (after the chunkc other
|
|
responsabilities take out) to work on my own projects. Given that, at
|
|
the moment, other projects interest me more. As fasr GCC goes, I'm happy
|
|
I have it, Ill be happy to report bugs, but i don't mhave the time to do
|
|
development on it as well. If that were really necessary, Ild go buy a
|
|
commercial compiler. Luckily, I haven't found that to be the case.

I saw a book in one of our technical bookstores the other day called
|
|
"Unix for Dos and Windows Users" or something similar.
|
|
Thsi is not an endorsement, i didn't need it so I didn't even crack it,
|
|
but i thought you might liek to know its there.
|
|
|
|
In general, there are alot of VERY good books now on using UNIX. You
|
|
basicly can't go wrong with one from the ORiely Nutshell series (just be
|
|
sure the one you buy is on your level since they range everywhere from
|
|
basic beginner stuff to complex programmer's subjects).
|
|
|
|
Just because Linux was free (or virtually) doesn't mean taht you can't or
|
|
shouldn't spend the money on a few good books. Many of the simpler
|
|
questions I've seen float by here coudl be answered by such references.
|
|
|
|
I would STRONGLY advise anyone who is seriosu about running Linux to put
|
|
aside a 'book budget'. (After all, you just saved $60.00 at least over
|
|
the cost of Windows or OS/2, right? That'll buy you one or two good
|
|
books right there... ;) )

Well, I must say, congrats to the DOSEMU team. I have yet to run into
|
|
something DOSEMU could not do, other than run Protected mode software.
|
|
(I am at version 0.52, but I understand that the latest patchlevels of
|
|
0.53 are supporting even Doom!)
|
|
|
|
Today, I was so convinced that I was in a true DOS session (I didn't
|
|
bother to switch VT's), that I decided to run Optune. (Mind you, I
|
|
generally leave my box in Linux, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, but I
|
|
had rebooted to try out the System Shock demo.) Well, I realized long
|
|
after I had started the optimization that I was in linux. Well, at
|
|
first I freaked out. "Oh my god, did I just swiss cheese my drive?"
|
|
|
|
I exited the dos emulator, unmounted my DOS partition and prayed.
|
|
I ran dosemu again, and lo and behold, my drive was 100% intact!!!!
|
|
Congratulations, DOSEMU Team! Even DISK OPTIMIZERS seem to work
|
|
OK under DOSEMU. But, I wouldn't try this at home.... :-)

Well, the only thing I didn't add was 1.1.51 for the kernel. While
|
|
nothing is locking up, there is a lag while telnetting with an FTP
|
|
session going on that is annoying. I've received a patch that I
|
|
hope to be able to roll in this weekend and do some serious testing.
|
|
Other things that run are Sendmail+IDA as a daemon, xntpd, and
|
|
CERN's web server. The ftp session definitely takes over the system.

I did :-)

It is no real problem, you can keep both compilers and decide which one
|
|
to use with -V2.5.8 or -V2.6.0
|
|
|
|
I really like 2.6.0 for my c++ programs, it gives /much/ better error-
|
|
messages, but the performance seems to be less good than 2.5.8,
|
|
2.6.0 takes more memory at compiletime, and the executable seems to be
|
|
slower when it does a lot of numbercrunching...
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the compiler fails and I have to use 2.5.8, but most of the
|
|
time it works well.
|
|
|
|
I am not experienced enough to pinpoint the problems I had well enough to
|
|
file a bugreport for the gcc-developers, though. But of course I will
|
|
test the gcc 2.6.0 and any newer version :-)
|
|
|
|
Cheers, Michael Will

PS: Running kernel 1.1.52 compiled with gcc 2.6.0 and still no problems :-)

Yes. It emulates termcap via terminfo. You have to link with ncurses

I guess so. The makefile offers an option to link curses.h to ncurses.h.

I am somewhat confused on this issue. What exactly is multi-threaded? And

are multi-threaded and multi-user mutually exclusive?

love this multitasking stuff, but I have a slight problem. I can't seem
|
|
to get the printer to work just right. I am using the Fall version of
|
|
Yggdrasil, and love it. It loaded right up with not problems at all. The
|
|
boot section shows that I have my printer on lp1, using the spooler, and
|
|
when I try to print something, the print light comes on but nothing
|
|
happens. So I issure the command again, and when it does print it is all
|
|
of just three lines that look like this:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
#Entries have this format:
|
|
#
|
|
#Machine-Name Time Type Class Phone Login
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
and so on. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this problem?
|
|
I sure would appreciate it. Also I have seen on here about this
|
|
compiling the kernel. What is this. Like I said I am new to this stuff.
|
|
I can't even get my clock set right. HELP HELP HELP.. And Dos where is
|
|
the Dos stuff that I am suppose to be able to get to. I can't even get
|
|
around this stuff let alone get to the Dos side of. I really like the
|
|
OS, but I think I need some learning.

Try using "man 5 hosts_access" to get the proper structure.

Hope this helps..

Try recompiling your kernel for Logitech mice. Worked for me with my ATI GUP.

I woukd say that *BSD and Linux were both quite stable at this point. I have
|
|
had few problems with either.
|
|
|
|
>2) more software available that runs on it
|
|
|
|
Most of the same software runs on each.
|
|
|
|
>3) faster
|
|
|
|
No clue.
|
|
|
|
>4) more compliance to POSIX (I think standards are good, or am I wrong)
|
|
|
|
Linux is more compliant to POSIX.
|
|
|
|
>5) more people using it.
|
|
|
|
Judging from the respective number of posts in each newsgroup, I would
|
|
say that many more people used Linux.
|
|
|
|
>6) more support for third-party hardware (VLB, EISA, modems, etc) IMPORTANT!
|
|
|
|
Once again, no clue.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Either should be fine.

I have.
|
|
|
|
I prefer Linux, but I use FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 because it more closely
|
|
resembles Ultrix, which I have to run on a DECstation which I assist in
|
|
administrating.

I'm looking for PCMCIA ethernet card for my notebook running Linux. I

have the list of Linux-happy cards (got it from the Stanford ftp site

about a month ago.) I'm looking for recommendations on these or

compatiable cards, as well as leads on good prices. Thanks!
