Sun Ultra SPARC T1

http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/2006-03/sunflash.20060321.3.xml So OpenSolaris is dead and useless. JTD and Vihan do not bother proving otherwise, because certain class of people will never listen. The Sun UltraSPARC T1 certainly is not. So check out the above link.

This whole discussion has gone OT for the LUG list. And I checked the intel's website yesterday, the URI that was given, they have not even listed any recent distros there. There's no mention whatsoever of Ubuntu, Fedora Core, OpenSuse. I see only enterprise distributions or others which are unknown to me. So, atleast I wouldn't trust that page at all

Hi! I am looking for a console based movie player similar to mplayer. I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) and facing problems in compiling mplayer on my system. I googled for an alternative solution but couldn't find anything useful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Sarfaraz.

Hi The United States Congress passed an energy policy act which will change the start and end dates for daylight savings time (DST). The changes go into effect March 2007. Microsoft has released patches for this. Is there any requirement to do anything on Linux boxes ? Regards Mangesh

The Linux Brochure [Concluded]
by Rony 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Hello All, Now that the wiki is up, I have uploaded the final pdfs with the spellings corrected. This successfully concludes the Linux Brochure (for beginners) idea and implementation. You are free to print these files as per your convenience and technology available. I will get in touch with my local printer. http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Image:LinuxBrochure4.pdf http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Image:LinuxBrochure3.pdf http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Image:LinuxBrochure2.pdf http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Image:LinuxBrochure1.pdf A big thanks to everyone who participated and gave their inputs and suggestions for this idea and helped in realizing it. Now the next idea I will be putting into reality is the Wireless Linux Download one where a local web server gives out Linux distros through a wireless LAN (WAP) for anyone to bring a laptop and download. The process for gathering the hardware will begin soon and I will setup a command line linux distro with apache. Then, I may request the list for help in building the site. Thanks and Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!
