GNU/Linux month
by Amol Hatwar 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi all, I read a seperate e-mail about RMS' bithday on 16 of March. Why not all of us celebrate it in the following manner: All of us who beleive it must be GNU/Linux and not Linux, carry an email signature indicating this, and a link where one could get more information for about a month. This should be equivalent to wearing a badge in the net-era. Let's declare March 16 - April 15 as the GNU/Linux month. I'll be glad to see more of such badges floating around :). ------------- It's most certainly GNU/Linux, not Linux. Read more at http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html. ------------- Warm regards, Amol Hatwar.

knoppix resolution problem
by Pradnyesh Sawant 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

hello luggers, first of all i would like to thank you for helping me with the grub.conf file to boot into my knoppix partition. the entry that i made in my grub.conf file for knoppix is as follows: title Knoppix root (hd0,8) kernel /vmlinuz ro initrd /initrd.gz one thing that i would like to point though, is that there are not 2 copies of grub.conf, one in /boot/grub and the other in /etc. in fact the /etc/grub.conf is a link to /boot/grub/grub.conf i would also like to thank you all, for in the process of configuring my grub.conf, i learned some commands on the grub prompt now, that the question of booting into the knoppix partition is solved, i would like to ask another question. i am getting very *BIG* fonts/icons in the knoppix gui. i changed the screen resolution to 1024x768 in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, but it did not help. i continue getting huge fonts/icons even after rebooting. i am attaching the part of the file mentioned, that relates to my screen.

by Gurpreet Singh 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

hi people i am working on a project where i need to generate random nos, lots of them. now til now i've been using the random() functio in C, but the thing is that when i run the program and call random() for the 1st time it goives a no say x1, and i terminate the program... now when i run it again, the random() functio returns the same no that is x1. i want to generate a random no that is random in the true sense of the word(lolz i hope u get what i mean...) i have an idea, rather two 1. we can read some arbitrary data from the ram and convert that to a number 2. we can read some random file from the hard disk. but the big question is HOW do i do all this? can someone help me with this? or does someone have a better idea of generating random nos? gurpreet __________________________________________________________ Great Travel Deals, Airfares, Hotels on http://r.rediff.com/r?www.journeymart.com/rediff/travel.asp&&sign&&jmart Gurpreet Singh Student Final Yr Computer Sc. & Engg. --------------------------------------------------------------------- M A K E Y O U R O W N R O A D --------------------------------------------------------------------

[NEWS] some interesting market research
by Dinesh Bareja 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi folks Some more news for the community... (this quotes a Forrester Research report highlights. Their report is too expensive :-) so I just have a few highlights here ! IAC this does make interesting reading) ------- QUOTE ----------- THE LINUX TIPING POINT Linux brings seductive Intel economics into the Unix heart of the datacenter. To avoid the chaos of unbridled Linux growth, CIOs must lead a shift to managed Linux deployment. The payoff? A fast track to Organic IT. - by Ted Schadler with Charles Rutstein, Laura Koetzle, Angela Tseng, Frank Pandolfe A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CONTENTS - In Interviews : - 72% of respondents expect to use more Linux in 2004. - About a quarter are replacing Windows servers with Linux. - Enterprise support stalls Linux for 46% of interviewees. Their Analysis : - In 2004, Linux adoption will explode in every datacenter, challenging CIOs to keep proliferation under control. - Managed Linux deployment gives both datacenter pros and application teams tools and processes to make Linux a success. - Recoding an application? Don't overlook Microsoft. They say it means : - Proprietary Unix is stone-cold dead -- but big iron lives on. - Laggard ISVs will regret their go-slow approach to Linux. UNQUOTE Lots more stuff inside the report ! If anyone has access I would love to read it too. Best wishes - Dinesh Bareja (M) +91 98203 0159 (T) +91 22 2878 9067 |---------------------------------------------------------------------| | ======== http://www.ideagrid.com ======= | | winning strategies ! simple ideas ! | | Open Source Products, Services & Training | |---------------------------------------------------------------------|

PCQuest Linux Version 8
by Saswata Banerjee & Associates 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi, I got the PCQuest Linux Version 8 distro last week and installed it on my PC. It is based on the RedHat 8, but with some modification which they feel is better for Indian Users. I was impressed with the way it installs and works. I think new users may find it very useful. For example, knowing that many users now use cable internet and that most of the cable operators use cyberoam software called 24onlineclient, they have provided the necessary software which can be used to connect to cable internet. Similarly, they have provided aMSN and Yahoo messanger. I found this very useful. They have also provided a software called MONO, which is supposed to be the GNU\Linux version of Microsoft's Dot Net Framework. The PCQuest magazine for this month gives detailed explaination for each of the things they have provided and how to get it running. And basically in not techie language. Basically, I got "out of the box" features. Only problem is that after every 12-15 minutes, I get logged out of my cable network and need to log in again. I hope to get my cable operator solve for me today. Regards Saswata
