Does it really matter which is better or which is not(in phlosphical, technical, or even commercial terms) in anyone's opinion as the basic point we all have the Freedom to use, modify, and publish what we want? Let there be more kernels and more compilers et all with their lovers and critics, at the end of the day let the people choose and decide for themselves. i admit, at the same time i do respect both your freedom's to argue as well. But just consider the above few lines... Regards, - vihan

Since you are not in noida or nearby so you could not see the running systems, what we can do is send me the dhcpd.conf file. regards, Bimal Pandit

changing boot.ini
by BombayNews 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

Dear all, How does one change the boot.ini on a computer? The problem is this: The machine had Windows XP running originally with Ubuntu Dapper Drake running on a partition. So a user has to choose the OS from the Grub menu. Now after some boot files in XP got corrupted, the computer refused to boot. The technician did a back-up installation of XP and now the machine works okay GRUB, Ubuntu and all. According to the engineer this is a usual problem with XP. He has advised editing boot.ini to make Linux the default OS but he warned that it can be done only once. Also that if Linux is made default Windows XP cannot be opened, etc. So how does one configure boot.ini so that the computer begins working even with the XP files corrupted, etc. The person who owns the computer wants both Windows XP and Linux on one machine for the near future. Maybe make GRUB run on Ubuntu OS instead of Windows XP at present. Pardon if I sound like verbally challenged!!!! Shiv Kumar

Protest against Novell-Microsoft deal
by പ്രവീണ്‍‌|Praveen 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

An Open Leter to Novell CEO Hovserpian from Bruce Perens (you can also add your comments there) "To Mr. Hovsepian, The Open Source community would find little to criticize in your agreement with Microsoft, had it remained a strictly financial and technical agreement. As the agreement stands today, it betrays the authors of the software you re-market and their users worldwide for Novell's sole commercial benefit. The covenant of the GPL is that in the face of a software patent aggressor we must all hang together, lest we each hang separately. Novell accepted that covenant when you chose to include the Linux kernel, the GNU C library, and hundreds of additional works created at no charge to Novell by individuals in the Free Software community and licensed under the GPL. It is abundantly clear that Novell and Microsoft took the time to engineer a circuitous legal path of issuing covenants to each other's customers, rather than licenses to each other, in order to circumvent Novell's earlier agreement with the community of GPL software developers. ........................

[OT] Anyone bought Class 2 Digital Certificate from MTNL Trust Line?
by Arun K. Khan 07 Dec '06

07 Dec '06

I have been trying to purchase a Class 2 Digital Certificate from MTNL Trust Line (http://mtnltrustline.com/products/online.htm) but no success. In the evening hours webra.mntltrustline.com seems to be offline and during daytime I get to the agreement page, I accept the agreement but then get time outs. Problem is without an online pre-registration number one cannot send the paper form to MTNL. The help line numbers (toll and tool free) are busy whenever I call in. Has anyone bought Class 2 Digital Certificate from MTNL Trust Line? If so, pls. let us know. TIA, -- akk
