Finite element method

Is there any FEM software equal or better than FElt http://felt.sourceforge.net/ It used to be good. But on new and decent Linux distributions its rendering part is not working. Like stress contours shown at http://felt.sourceforge.net/stress.gif It seems to be dead. Any one who know some alternate software or way to make it to render properly. -- H.S.Rai ===================

ubuntu vs knoppix
by Satish Alwani 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Just curious, I know distro wars are bad, and well alot of people just say use what best suits you, I am just curious if anyone has had first hand experience between the 2. And if so which would be a more "debian" /apt way to go. And also have a nice clear interface to deal with out of the box, not to mention the support and ease of use. A friend of mine is strongly considering moving away from all MS products. So much so he sold his xbox 360 and has been collecting for a while to be able to buy the ps3. I told him if hes loading up linux on his ps3, he might as well get the exposure on his desktop. After all, that baby will smoke his current AMD 2000. So which distro would you guys suggest and between those 2 and if you have a specific reason why, would be nice so i can tell him. Also if i could grab a DVD off someone (maybe couriered) would be nice. Else I could just download it and have it in a week. Thanks, Satish

965 CD ROM Support Puzzle.
by Rony 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hello All, Today I got another chance to try live cds on the 965 RYCK with core 2 duo. I tried the Knoppix 5.11 DVD and the DreamLinux 2.2 Live/Install CD ( Morphix Deb based ) that came with this month's LFY. :P In both the disks, the initial boot screen appeared and the Kernel/Image was loaded. when the detection stsrted, it threw up the error of not finding the media files. What puzzles me is that if the PATA support for 965 boards is not yet come out in Linux distros except FC6 and Sabayon, why does the live distro CD even show the boot prompt and load the initial image/kernel? I even got the starting logos and splash screens. Then why does the distro not go on to *fully* load, irrespective of not detecting PATA drivers? If it cannot load PATA drivers, why does it not run on the generic drivers as it begins initially. The initial data came from reading the drive anyway. Can this be achieved manually by passing some boot parameters? Is this a flaw in Linux kernels? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.
