Well i got the latest (in india) Acer Aspire 5002 with AMD Turion ML-30 processor. It rocks i also have a toshiba 1.8ghz centrino , when i compare i think AMD is a monster. though laptop comes with 256MB ram i doubled it. only draback is itz 400FSB :( ... there are some wonderful machines in international market ( i mean USofA) like HP nx6125 turion 2 ghz ... but as usual asian countries get the let over. so i think this HP machine will come in india in next 6month ( or later) abt acer also has good machine in UK and US . not in India :( i think these chaps are least bothered ( damn pissing) Abt Linux for Turion, i tried Fedora core 4 and Ubuntu( modified to my requirements ) and both are equally good. and much faster then windows for sure. and plus point Turion processor doesnot have heat problem ... anymore raj

Suggest R-Connect Phone
by Rony Bill 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Hello All, I am thinking about migrating to the 115 kbps r-connect internet service through a fwp. I liked the iphone's speed but it is usb and works on windows. I have a few questions. 1. According to those of you who have used reliance's fwp for r-connect on linux, what would be the best option for top speed and linux compatibility; the older one with serial cable or the iphone with usb cable or older one with usb cable? 2. Can the serial cable version be setup without drivers in kppp just like an external modem is setup? 3. Does its dialler work in the gui mode like kppp or it has to be controlled through cli only? 4. Which linux flavours have you tried it on? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

I recently bought a HCL branded PC with 2.93 GHz, 512 MB DDR, 80GB SATA, DVD combo drive, intex speakers...

problems with erasing CD-RW on samsung cd-writer
by chirag radhakrishnan 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I have been trying to erase a CD-RW(moserbaer) using cdrecord utility (on kernel 2.6.11). Writing o CD-R is not an issue. To erase the disk I issued the command "cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdd blank=all" After issuing this command it receive the following message <snip> Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 10 in real BLANK mode for single session. Last chance to quit, starting real write 0 seconds. Operation starts. Performing OPC... cdrecord: OPC failed. Blanking entire disk cdrecord: Success. blank unit: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: A1 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 73 03 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x73 Qual 0x03 (power calibration area error) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 215.197s timeout 9600s cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting. </snip> I searched on google there have been people who have faced similar problems albeit with different kernel and different cd writers.

[OT]: The world's first open source beer
by Sujeet Bhatt 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

http://www.voresoel.dk/main.php?id=70 What's this "Vores Øl"? Vores Øl (Our Beer) is a great tasting energetic beer and it's the world's first open source beer! It is based on classic ale brewing traditions but with added guarana for a natural energy-boost. Version 1.0 is a medium strong beer (6% vol) with a deep golden red color and an original but familiar taste. Why Guarana? The South American Guarana beans are a natural source of energy and health. Their stimulating effect nicely balances the drowsiness that is associated with beer. (The caffeine contents in each beer, approx. 35 mg, is lower than in a cup of coffee so you shouldn't have to worry about possible side effects.) Is it a real beer? Yes and no. You can't buy it in stores (at least not yet) and by the time you read this we have probably drank all the beer we brewed in the first batch. (It tasted good.) But somewhere in the world someone might be using our recipe right now, and as long as they publish their version of the recipe they are free to sell it in a store near you... How can beer be open source? The recipe and the whole brand of Our Beer is published under a Creative Commons license, which basically means that anyone can use our recipe to brew the beer or to create a derivative of our recipe. You are free to earn money from Our Beer, but you have to publish the recipe under the same license (e.g. on your website or on our forum) and credit our work. You can use all our design and branding elements, and are free to change them at will provided you publish your changes under the same license ("Attribution & Share Alike"). Can large companies market Our Beer? Yes, they are free to use our recipe at will - but they also have to comply with the licence and publish their version of the recipe under the same Creative Commons license. This requirement is to keep the beer "free" so everyone has the freedom to improve the recipe based on the work of others. Who are "we"? We are "Vores Øl Group", a group of students at the IT-University in Copenhagen and have created Our Beer in collaboration with Superflex as an experiment in applying modern open source ideas and methods on a traditional real-world product (beer). Why beer? Why not? We all like beer, and as an added bonus there is a legendary quote used to explain the concept of free software (now usually referred to as open source software): "Free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer". We think that our open source beer is a nice twist on this quote, and we think it is interesting to see if our beer grows stronger in out in the free and perhaps one day becomes the Linux of beers. Who knows? Is your recipe in any way uniqe? Yes and no. According to google.com there is no other "open source" beer out there (except in fake news). Others have added Guarana or caffeine in beer, but we haven't found any that is similar to our in color and taste. This work (all text, images and code) is licensed under a Creative Commons License.

Alternate Dialup Problem
by Rony Bill 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hello All, I have been experiencing problems whenever I want to use an alternate dialup isp instead of my main default one. I use Mandrake 10.1 with kppp as my dialer. After I have connected to one isp, if I disconnect and select the second isp, the connection is successfull but sites don't open up. The kppp accounts are set to delete earlier dns entries so that everytime there is a fresh entry and the firewall is also flushed but no luck. If the system is rebooted then I can use the second isp. Conclusion: Whatever isp is dialled first works, for the next, its a hit and run case with more failures than success. Any clues? Any Tips or tricks? How would a regular user like a customer do it, as it can be done in windows? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
