Re: [ILUG-BOM] Tally and Linux

They want us to purchase Tally on Windows. Ok, but here is my question again. Is there something like a Tally on Windows SEPERATED from a Tally for Linux? Doesnt matter what the dealer likes or not. If it exists, then I'll beat it out of them, but if it doesnt, then I'll only be pushing against a wall. Without Tally and Galileo on Linux, I cannot be the revolutionary crusader who achieved Mumbai's first window less office building. -abhishek __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

My beef with external modems is the power supply being outside the box. Somehow I am always 1 plug point short no matter how many I have. Maybe it could be added to Mishra's laws.

I can give you a copy of PCQ 2004 dec which has Debian Sarge. Since we are exchanging in kind it is commercial transaction and a commercial distro - fully legal - which you can copy and redistribute and you are encouraged to do so. For details visit http://www.debian.org. I have used it on the following hardware without a hitch. Via p4m266a Piv celeron 128mb (sound is Half duplex on some of these boards). I865 P IV 3.3 GHz 256 MB full duplex sound IBM T70 thinkpad Iball laptop (actually an I855 clone from china) The Via setup burns cds/dvd, plays music /videos, connects to the net with umpteen isps, uses usb flash storage, and does everything that i want it to do. Uptime is 3 months and counting (if this box konks out 700 people will be locked out of office, an me will get some broken bones). Caveat I know what i want done and i know the capabilities and limitations of the hardware. If you are running a production system, you must have Reasonable net access for security patches and updates. rgds jtd

TV Tuner
by Revant 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

Can you people suggest me any TV tuner card and related things? What I want from it is: 1) It MUST work on Linux (Mostly Debian/Ubuntu) 2) It should have AV Composite so that I can play my playstation on computer with sound 3) It should be relatively easy to configure. I'd prefer autodetection 4) It should be avaliable in Mumbai market .... grant road. I tried My friend's BT878P+ Pixelview, It works fine and is autodetected, Only problem is, It has only AV Composite -- Video wire, i.e Yellow, there is no Audio Left-Right female thing on the card, So I never got to try it with sound

Best Linux Desktop distro or maybe FreeBSD?

The older desktops like Twm or simple X would suit your purpose. Try a older version of kde or gnome too it should work but the graphics will not be as great. (My old celeron use to work with around the same config as yours). Derwyn.
