MP tells Gates it prefers Linux
by Tahir Hashmi 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

The Economic Times, Nov 20, 2002, pg 10 <quote> MP tells Gates it prefers Linux BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh, with it's mantra of IT for masses is all set to go the Linux way. Chief Minister Digvijay Singh personally conveyed this message to Microsoft boss Bill Gates during their interaction last week in New Delhi. Madhya Pradesh has thus become the first Indian state to make a definitive choice in favour of open source software in the government system. "For us it is not a question of Microsoft versus Linux. We have nothing against Microsoft or Mr Bill Gates. It's just a matter of choosing between a free software and a monopoly. We feel that when we are putting public information out in the open, then it should not be through a proprietary software," Mr Singh told ET. </unquote> -- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://staff.ncst.ernet.in/tahir tahir AT ncst DOT ernet DOT in We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed

PS to PDF: argh!
by Satya 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

So I have a nice copy of my resume in PS, thanks to Openoffice and a certain OS's printer drivers. But when I convert the PS to PDF in Linux (gs 5.10), I get awful output -- Type 3 fonts in the PDF. Why? Any way to fix? And the workaround seems to be to use gsview on the afore-unmentioned OS and print to PDF -- except the pdfwrite device does not exist. Why? gsview and gs on the unmentionable OS (yeah ok, XP) are the latest versions, downloaded today. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> I need a job!

Programming Bootloaders
by Amol Hatwar 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

One of my friends is trying to get into hacking bootloaders. Most of them are based on C and Assembly. Has somebody been this way before? And is it possible to get it done without keeping all the rigisters in your brain ;) (i.e. w/o assembly). Regards, -ah

distro for installfests
by Ashish Kulkarni 19 Nov '02

http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/18/141251 Hey guys, After reading this slashdot article, I was really struck by the point made there, that you could use a Knoppix Linux _without any chance of damage to your PC_. It's based on Debian, and it's perfect for those who wanna evaluate it. (For those hearing for the first time, it's a "Live" CD -- ie no need to install, just boots off the CD). I've noticed that LinuxPlaza has it too :-) What do you think? - A.

Yes, it IS doable without keeping all the registers in your brain and No you can not do it without assembly. Writing all the important registers on paper would surely help a lot. :) The easiest way is a small hack into the bootloader, which would be then be placed at the start of SDRAM, to take the kernel bootable from some other location in memory. Again, techniques depend from chip to chip. Take your pick. I don't think in this hack you can intervene the loader via serial port/etc/etc and the loader would directly access that location but I am not sure of this feature. Which bootloader would you use? Choose one with minimal appendages. hth _h
