Share your views with LFY: CommunitySpeak Episode 2
by Janani Gopalakrishnan 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hello all, Greetings from the Linux For You team! As you all know, last month we launched a new initiative called CommunitySpeak where we pose a question to various ILUG mailing lists and publish the top five responses (selected by our technical editors) in the magazine. Thanks to all those who responded to last month's question on "why a majority of the world's top 10 supercomputers are powered by Linux". The best five among the responses received are to be published in the July 2006 issue of LFY. The selected responses were sent by Vishnu Vyas (Chennai), S R Parthan (Chennai), R Subramanian (Chennai), Manu Konchady (Bangalore) and P Sriram (Chennai). Thanks again for your participation. This month we have chosen the topic: "What would make a Windows user pick up a Linux magazine?" No, this is not a marketing tactic. We are *really* curious. What would make Windows users pick up a Linux magazine? How can we convince them to read about and adopt Linux and other free and open source software? Would they be interested in reading about free business software than run on Windows? What's your take on this? Our eyes and ears are wide open and we are waiting to listen to your ideas. Please write to us at writetojanani(a)gmail.com with a CC to atul.goel(a)efyindia.com before July 5th 2006. The top five responses will be published in the August 2006 issue of Linux for You. Look forward to your responses. Thanks, Janani Gopalakrishnan, Freelance Writer Atul Goel, Asst. Associate Editor, LFY

Anything kicks "OK/Cancel"'s a$$ ;-) > I just suffered a major Mac OSX crash...some hw problem that I haven't yet pinned down. But practically all my data is back now, thanks to third party proprietary software tools and loads of help from Mac users. Similarly, when I have problems with my RH9 installation, I get help from this and other users. But in comparison, although there were some sneers here (I thought) about Mac's Unix framework, the level of help and ease of fixing a serious problem was a different grade. I am sure a command line recovery would have worked pretty effectively, but would have presented me with a steeper learning curve, instead of which I got a clear and simple graphic utility which allowed me to see my destroyed files and save them back to my remote hdd with a series of clicks. I used to be a fairly neat hand at Windows, but can't even imagine wasting my time fixing its problems when they arise, and with the level of weaknesses and attacks commonplace today, that is just too often for my comfort. Looking back on the last 15-16 years of Windows development, I just think that Gates lost control, and perhaps was seduced by the incredible success and money. Yes, you can fool most of the poeople most of the time, but for someone else to do it better takes a fresh approach - Apple had nothing to lose and so could gamble on Next's experience, but the Linux world does not seem to be quite grasped of the urgency of the opportunity - at least not in India. I have seen some attempts from India to do creative things, but on the whole depressingly little - certainly too little for the kind of interest levels and keenness one sees on this and other lists. I don't know what the issue is, but instead of moaning about Gates' failures, we should look a little inward and evolve a way to bring out something better for ourselves. Vickram

fc3 (tecra 8100) and fc4 (desktop) function keys settings
by Abhishek Daga 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

I am using FC3 on a tecra 8100. Connected via ssh to a remote machine running an application written in c-tree. it requires the use of various function keys. F1 pulls up Help instead of doing what app wants it to do. F3 just spits out a character. F10 acts like the Alt key. Same for Fc4 on a std desktop. All function keys work as they are supposed with putty over winXp. Any ideas on how to resolve this where F1, F3, F10 do what the application want them to do and not what is predefined? Also, i can scp files from remote server as I am sshing into it. But can I download files from remote server on local machine using putty? thanks abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Microsoft's New Linux-Based Wireless Network
by Sameer Bagwe 24 Jun '06

"The next time Bill Gates sends an e-mail through Microsoft's shiny new Wireless LAN it will be passed through a behind-the-scenes Linux-based network appliance. Earlier this year Microsoft and Aruba Networks jointly announced the two companies will work to replace Microsoft's existing Cisco wireless network with Aruba's centrally-managed infrastructure, which eliminates the need for individual changes on the access points.
