Core2 Duo on Linux.
by Rony 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hello All, I came across this article on linux for Core2 Duo. http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/22/0415251 What does the author mean by the statement thats quoted below? "Since we have a new core in this review, I decided it was prudent to pull out both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Linux. We wanted to find out where Core 2 shows the most performance and how it did versus AMD in each mode. The table below shows the compile options for each OS and processor type. I didn't go all out and be over-aggressive here. It was important to compile the applications for each specific processor type but not be too aggressive and cause instability." What compilation has he done? Is he actually compiling the kernel or packages or does he give the specific commands at boot prompt? Could someone briefly explain the process? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

File Deletion
by neelam 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

hi, I want to delete files older than a particular date or older than a particular no of days. the command i used for this is on a usual linux machine was- find /dir -type f -mtime +7 | xargs rm -f ( also i used a combination of "touch" and "find" which too worked fine) now my problem is i have to perform the same task only in C (without using shell script ) as the device for which i m writing this module has its own small linux kernel and hence doesnt support many commnads like "find" , "more" ,"mv" etc .......... i am aware of the remove() function in C but how do i get the date a file was last modified and then delete it ??? Any solution / suggestions will b of great help to me ........... thnx .......... --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta.

Lack of IDE suooprt on 965 mobo.
by Rony 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello All, Yesterday when I was searching for core2 info on the net, I came across complaints that the Intel 965 board PATa (parallel IDE port) is not detected by the Linux distros and the alternative is to use a SATA CD ROM or usb install. Even Dinesh J. had mentioned it. My query is that why does a distro need to understand or talk to the IDE or PATA port controller chips when the port itself is a universal port with pins dedicated to power, read, write, address and data? Shouldn't the BIOS be the interface that takes communication _internally_ between the port and its controller chip? Another point is that why is the old XP SP2 2002 edition able to talk to the _new_ PATA controllers on 965 while the new linux distros cannot? Is there a windows specific command structure secretly available between M$ and the BIOS manufacturers? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo! Mail. http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/nowyoucan.html

Install Debian GNU/Linux from Windows
by പ്രവീ ണ്‍‌| Praveen എ|A 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Hi, You want to install GNU/Linux, but don't have a cdrom/floppy/bootable usb drive? (I faced this challenge some time back and this document helped me http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html ). It is easier now. You can install Debian GNU/Linux if you have a working internet connection and you are running a Microsoft Windows Operating system. Debian now has an installer that runs on Windows!!! http://goodbye-microsoft.com.nyud.net:8090/ (the site seems to be suffering from high requests at the moment. So other pages might not work) Cheers Praveen -- Join The DRM Elimination Crew Now! http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-DRM-Campaign

Ubuntu Multimedia Centre CDs?
by Rony 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

Hello All, If anyone has downloaded Ubuntu Muitimedia Center RC1 CDs then could I have a copy of the same? I read the reviews and it appears to rock. It plays propriety media formats out of the box. I would try it on various hardware. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.

is fedora suitable for server, any experienced users?
by krishnakant Mane 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

hello all. one of my clients is confused about the differences or rather the non-differences (as usual with most of the semi experienced gnu/linux users ) wants me to setup a server but is only confident about a distro named fedora. they have been using fedora for quite some time on a dual boot machine. but if at all I were to setup a server, will fedora suit the server requirements? there will be only gnome installed and that too wont run by default because I am going to set the machine to init level 3. we are supposed to run a ftp server which will mostly be proftpd and also apache server with php support. mysql5 will also be installed on the server. so since the customer wants fedora I wont be ready to start a distro flame war as long as fedora can handle the needs of a secured stable server. the setup is in narel which is away from mumbai so I can't go there very often hence I need a stable server. regards. Krishnakant.
