Ready to Rock: Kernel 2.6 [LINUX JOURNAL * May 2003]
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

CAN [GNU]LINUX do for music what it did for server applications? Ask Dave Phillips. His linux-sound.org website is a resource for everything from hard-disk recorders to music notation editors. This issue offers a preview of the 2.6 kernel and the audio excellence of Linux.... ////////[SOFTWARE]///////////////////////////////////////// o Football manager http://www.autismuk.freeserve.co.uk Graphics are crude; but the game is a lot of fun. o Magic notebook: http://www.joanthanscorner.com/etc/magic_notebook Keep notes using a web interface. o Server status: http://www.the-den.org/status Keep an eye on servers. Needs X, but clean, fast, simple. o Pebrot: http://pebrot.sourceforge.net Python version of MSN Messengers, runs without X. o GNU Pilot Logbook Pro ftp.stampede.org/skibum/gplbp/bplbp.tar.gz Professional logbook for pilots will all entries you need. o Hardware Lister http://ezix.sourceforge.net/software/lshw.html IRQ, module used and more for cards and hardware. ////////[NEWS]///////////////////////////////////////// o Ericsson releases source code for its Telecom Inter-Process Communication under the GNU GPL. o Japan to spend $8.3 million on open-source development for Linux development for consumer electronic goods. Also $416,000 to switch Japanese government computers over to free software. ////////[TECH]///////////////////////////////////////// o Introducing Plone, a simple content management solution that allows all readers to read publicly available content, and those given permissions to publish their content to the general public. o Writing stackable filestystems: Now you can add a feature to your favourite filesystem without rewriting it. o Battles inside the computer o Using Firewall Builder, Part I: use one easy GUI to build and deploy policies for all your firewalls and servers. o TECH TIP: A simple script to search a collection of RPM packages for a specific file... o Advanced memory allocation o INTRODUCING THE 2.6 KERNEL: scheduler and audio improvements are only two of the features you'll notice when the 2.5 development series becomes 2.6. Other important features include O(1) scheduler / preemptive kernel / latency improvements / redesigned block layer / improved VM subsystem / improved threading support / new sound layer. o Starting with the 2.5 series, it's simpler and faster to customize your kernel or add a driver. o Kernel mode Linux: Now you don't have to write a module to run a program in kernel space. Run any program there with this patch. o Reiser4, Part II: Designing trees that cache well. o SOUND SOFTWARE to turn your GNU/Linux box into a synthesizer studio: GPL amSynth Great analog synth emulation Proprietary Elara Proprietary UltramasterJuno6 GPL Bristol GPL LegaSynth Emulates DX7 and some chips GPL ALSA Modular GPL SpiralSynth Modular GPL MSS GPL AUBE Proprietary RTSynth Proprietary JSyn Varied synthesis methods, excel sound GPL ZynAddSubFX GPL Cumulus Unique real-time granular synthesis GPL gAlan Interesting 'module processing' env GPL jMax LADSPA support planned BSD-ish Pd Rich syntehsis, OpenGL, VST/LADSPA,JACK GPL Freebirth Bass synth, sample sequencer Proprietary UltramasterRS101 Like Freebirth but more GPL iisusynth GPL RX/Saturno o Learning regular expressions.

Problem installing Redhat 9 on AMD Athlon XP 2200+
by rupesshnaadar＠powersurfer.net 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

I am trying to install Redhat 9 on ASUS (A7N266-VM) Motherboard having AMD XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz) processor. After installation the system freezes on: "Finding module dependencies:" I dont know how to go about getting my Redhat 9 to work. Its a dual boot with Windows. I am using LILO as my Boot-Loader. My keyboard locks up as well as I can't do Ctrl + C at that point. Is there some specific kernel parameter required for AMD Systems? Or is there any other linux distro which would work on this system. TIA. Rupessh

RE: [ILUG-BOM] Sendmail -- Spam blocking
by Matthew, Anu 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Implement procmail filtering. Sendmail plays the part of the mail delivery agent, and for a single mail account, procmail filtering suits better. For mails from all other domains, you may just want to delete them, instead of sending a bounce message. HTH, ~AM Hi I have a useraccount with email address info(a)unitech.com and info(a)otherdomains.com ....... I want to setup my sendmail in such a way that it will accpet mail to info(a)unitech.com only if sender's domain is unitech.com. For rest of the world , it will be bounced back for all other info(a)otherdomains.com Richard

[OT] Is your PC legal?
by Nikhil Joshi 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hi! I've observed that somehow people advocating Linux bring morality into picture. They argue about illegal (pirated) Windows and how bad it is (morally) to use one. Here is a checklist for all those paranoid about having their PC legal: (Please add to this list something that I might have missed ) 1. Is your PC or some part of it ( RAM,HDD,graphics card ) bought from grey market ? If yes you can safely assume that it is illegal. The required taxes have been evaded. 2. Do you have Mp3z on your Hard-Disk? Linux or Windows , they are completely illegal ( Why are you making MP3z if you own the CD ? If for giving it to friends then thats illegal too !). Its illegal even if you have burnt them on your CD instead of keeping them on your HDD 3. Do you have DivX/MPEG files of latest movies ? It is illegal. 4. Does your homepage/HDD have gif's. Arguably they are illegal too. (Some compression patent problems I believe) Here's my PC's status: 1. Bought from grey market. I lose the battle in first step itself ;) 2. Yep not a single mp3 on my HDD. 3. not a single MPEG/DivX 4. Dont have a homepage so no gif's created by me that are on the HDD My point: Windows user is on equal moral grounds (regarding legality of his/her PC) if a Linux user satisfies any of the criteria. There cannot be something less illegal. Either it is legal or it is not. P.S. (While I may be sounding Windows advocate let me tell you that I have only two OS'es on my PC : Linux and Dos (the command.com from the rescue disk of Windows 98, which is licensed, but not mine. I guess that's legal too as Microsoft, I guess, does not say that you must possess a legal copy of Windows 98 to use the command.com , Anywayz I use command interpreter of FreeDos) Nikhil

The message should concern anyone whose trying to configure a capture card like PixelView under Redhat8.0 ( XAW TV)=20 I.finally got the card configured ..(i think) ..but i seem to have an unusual problem. Although all channels are clearly 'visible' ..the sound is all messed up ...the audio is hardly audible....tried changing all tuner types in the xawtv config file...but no change..... H-E-L-P .!
