Linux Brochure - Short Version
by Mrugesh Karnik 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi, Creating a new thread because the original has gone way too awry (I am to be blamed for it too, I guess :/ Sorry, anger got the better of me). Anyway, here's my version of the Brochure: http://floyd-n-milan.blogspot.com/2006/12/linux-brochure-short-version.html It's for anyone to copy, distribute or modify, if they want to. Just one (or is it two?) condition. The term ``GNU/Linux'' must not replace the term ``Linux based Distribution''. Any matter from that post must also not appear in any document that uses the term ``GNU/Linux'', unless it is used in the following context (quoting myself from a previous email to the list): > Do something. Create an OS which does NOT have Xorg, KDE, Apache, MySQL, > Postfix, Mozilla, OpenSSH etc etc etc. In essence, only the software > developed directly by the GNU project. Do NOT include software that's under > the GPL but not developed directly by GNU. Do NOT include the software > that's not under the GPL. I doubt any GNU projects use any other license > than the GPL. Use the Linux kernel. Call the OS GNU/Linux. If you can't abide by the condition, please do not use any of the matter. I personally won't stop you from breaching the condition though. That's completely up to you. Thank you. -- ---------------------------------------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net ----------------------------------------

FC6 and Display Problem
by nilesh mahajan 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi, I installed FC6 on Intel Core2 Duo Processor with Intel 946 chipset.When I installed at first time it get installed with normal FC6 kernel but when I installed after few days it will get installed with "fc6xen" kernel. What it stands for? Also when I am trying to change graphical mode(X Server) to text mode(80x25) and vice versa by using ctrl-alt-F1 and alt-F7 the display gets stretched or flickering. Some time shifting of graphics to text mode and vice versa is perfect by mostly it is abnormal. Even shifting during shutdown/reboot has the same problem. How can I solve this issue.Please Help.

Problem with running a long process on apache
by Pascal Nunes 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

I can run a script as the linux user apache. But when I try to invoke the same through a web-page running on the server (I am using the php system command) it does not execute, and I get a return value of 127. This script takes really long to run, can run for several minutes sometimes. I am clueless about why this is happening... Any suggestion to how a user can call it on a web server? -- Any tool is only as good as it is used. .:[ Pascal Nunes <http://pascal_nunes.blogspot.com> ]:.

A Linux Brochure.

Some time back there was a discussion on why there is lack of Indian contribution to development of FOSS. Lets put on our thinking caps to find out what we GLUG-BOM can do for Linux. We also need to find centralised locations nearer to railway stations or major junctions so that members from all over Mumbai can attend regular LUG meets. May I propose a simple assignment for this list? Some time back when I was with Krish, I mentioned to him the need for a linux brochure as, other than live CDs, there is nothing in text to distribute to people from the windows background. Many people may not want to use the CDs or may not know what work to do with them. So can we as a list create a brochure for Linux. We need to start with an overall picture and then a basic partitioning information to show them the difference between the windows and linux partitions and the file system hierarchy like 'C:\' and '/'. Provide a lot of links too. There may be brochures available on the net but lets do it our way. We could create the brochure on the net as a wiki or some online room where the project grows and leave the printing to the downloader. Regards, Rony.
