Alix - The original name for GNU kernel
by Pankaj Jangid 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hi All, I came across this paragraph while reading about "The GNU Project". These words are written by "Richard M. Stallman" Alix The GNU kernel was not originally supposed to be called the HURD. Its original name was Alix--named after the woman who was my sweetheart at the time. She, a Unix system administrator, had pointed out how her name would fit a common naming pattern for Unix system versions; as a joke, she told her friends, "Someone should name a kernel after me." I said nothing, but decided to surprise her with a kernel named Alix. It did not stay that way. Michael Bushnell (now Thomas), the main developer of the kernel, preferred the name HURD, and redefined Alix to refer to a certain part of the kernel--the part that would trap system calls and handle them by sending messages to HURD servers. Ultimately, Alix and I broke up, and she changed her name; independently, the HURD design was changed so that the C library would send messages directly to servers, and this made the Alix component disappear from the design. But before these things happened, a friend of hers came across the name Alix in the HURD source code, and mentioned the name to her. So the name did its job. -- Pankaj Jangid NCST, India

This is pretty basic. But yeah... the moment you want to do something that's not "inside" tomcat, you'd want to use Native Methods. For this you will have to code on the platform on which you are coding. For example if your external program/method is on Linux, you'd use CPP or C on Linux; if its on Windows, something equivalent. Lets hope things are not much ambiguous now. The question I replied to before had me stumped with ambiguousness. The answer is wrong nevertheless. This one sets things right.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] how to run Tom Cat Server on Linux?

Hints: 1) install tomcat on linux.(JRE required) 2) by default it listens to port 8080, if u disabled it then re-enable it. search for server.xml file, in tomcat directory. Amish. P.S. Apache(port 80) can also serv JSP pages through a module. You will have to modify httpd.conf for that. MALHAR PUJAR wrote: >using JWSDP.

I use Eudora and I had to enable 'show all headers' for it to show me all that information. By default it only showed me the standard few. This will be true for _most_ other clients as well as web based interfaces. And how many people do use Pine as their main email client? I have used Pine for a long time (vsnl shell days) and no doubt it is very flexible and powerful, but I find Eudora much better to use. Why is it that one often encounters this kind of line? Why should one ask everyone to reach one's own exalted heights and esoteric grounds instead of bending down to the poor prune's level and showing him the right way up in a reasonable way? He has but to travel up slowly. And not all may reach all the way up. Isnt one of the purposes of this (and other) forum(s) to give clueless people a chance to ask questions and for smart ones to answer them? :D peace, quasi
