As far as the major chunk (the actual raw materials) are concerned, they are not made in India with indian raw materials. Or to be more precise, even if they were made in india with indian inputs, the costing would work out much more. Ok, so India has advantage of labor, but it hardly helps when your product is to be built on a highly automated assembly line and labor is not much of a factor. you can still manage to find IBM Compatible desktop PCs in the US cheaper than the assembled ones in India. I think it's more cost price + margin than PPP as the driving point. Unless ofcourse, we are gauranteed uninteruppted cheap power, and electricity Transmission losses (Currently at 33% conservative estimates) are minimized, taxes are multiple surcharges arereduced yada yada. then maybe we can manufacture components in house and thus be more in line with PPP that relying on imports. even after all that, i fear the taiwanese will still kick our butts big time. they simply rock when it comes to churning out these things. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

VMWare for FC3 and FreeBSD on AMB Athlon XP

by Abhishek Daga

I am having some space constraints so hows this for a solution. On an existing desktop (AMD athlon XP, 256 MB) running FC3, can I also install FreeBSD using VMWare and run both simultaneously? FC3 is needed as the routine desktop and FreeBSD for testing. The usage of freeBSD OS will be via ssh so dont care about the gui. Has this worked for anyone? RAM is not a problem, if needed can surely add more. comments, tips, advice, warnings... all solicited. -abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re:oracle in linux

by BIJU KRISHNAN

Dear Amit, The Oracle 9i installation program is a Java based program and does not have a TUI or a CLI as an alternative. You need have X installed and running while installing either Client or server. Atleast from my knowledge u cant install Oracle 9i Enterprise without X....on the linux box..! I even failed installing Oracle Client on RedHat Linux with a dump on the HDD...! We had to put the media in and then run ./mnt/cdrom/Product/runinstaller [NOT THE EXACT PATH ALTHOUGH] bye rgds biju __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Installing GUI Desktops from a minimal Debian install

by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy)

Hi, I installed Debian Sarge .. however it was a minimal install. So I don't think the desktop managers are installed. How do I install them now? RedHat had rpms.. I think the alternate here is apt install. What would be the fastest and simplest way to install Gnome for instance ? Thanks, Gishu Pillai

You can copy and distribute distros with Yast2. Make sure that there are no restricted packages in the Suse distro though.

RE: [ILUG-BOM] Database

by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy)

>> XML (although I haven't used it under linux.. but should not >> be a problem ) >Since when did parsing XML become lightweight ;) I'm writing an C# w XML based app for a personal itch. So I am assuming he too doesn't want to spend too much time developing. Anyways are you telling me that using Access, other SQL DBs are going to be faster than XML for small files. java has classes that parse XML. But if he is gonna manually parse XML.. look for something else Gishu
