Hi I am going to retain the old pc (IBM branded PC celeron 500 64mb RAM) The new non intel PC will be used as a desktop PC and will be networked to the old pc through a crossover cable. Although I would like a MAC but it is ruled out. I have decided on AMD. which processor and motherboard will be the best combo. Any further suggestions are also welcome Thanks Ninad

Worst case, a >Power processor. Power PC is the old name for the G series of processors that Mac now uses. The iMac range is not terribly overpriced, but in any case it is no longer the most cost-effective option for Abhishek. That is the Mac Mini, which is a small box containing motherboard and HDD with DVD combo RW drive and a host of connectors for monitor, keyboard, mouse and network peripherals (standard IBM PC type peripherals work, so you can use your existing monitor, keyboard and mouse). It starts at under $500 (please check the Apple Store at www.apple.com for official India prices) and I am told there are already deals at other sites for better prices - check your local hardware market. You need to add Bluetooth or WiFi cards, which are extra. Doc Nagarjuna uses Gnome on his G4 laptop and so do a host of other users here in India, many on this list, who have remained silent for some unfathomable reason. The Mac Mini ought to satisfy the needs of any power Linux user. -- Vickram

>how to run exe file on red hat linux? AFAIK There is no "exe" file in linux. What you do have is files with the rwx (read write execute) attributes. So if the execute bit is set and you have access to the file, you can run the file by just typing in the filename at the shell prompt Gishu

Or maybe an UltraSparc, or an Alpha. > Worst case, a Power processor. Agreed. But would a Sparc or Alpha qualify as a PC. The Sparc arch has a reputation for unbelievable reliability. But then would be overkill sitting on a desk. I am planing on buying an Optetron single processor mobo- Tyan has some models which are highly recommended. The problem is 64bit pci cards at 133mhz. Cant find any here. Using regular pci cards will simply bring everthing to square one. rgds jtd

A single day has seen a 100% increase in the team size. Our resident CA on ILUG is around and committed. He will definitely jump in formally as soon as he gets around to reading this. And we need not just CAs. Accountants, business people, troublemongers, testers, jholers, etc too who can give practical inputs on their requirements. While current Packages dwell into the inventory aspects, not all needs of inventory management are met. Not all needs of reporting are met. Such individuals can provide valuable input for that too. Is there any way the other LUGs can be spoken to? Pune and Bangalore? I am pretty confident that there are many enthusiasts like yourself around who have done a lot of coding. So someone needs to take the best of all and put it together. I think it's the last mile that needs the walking.

You will need to run them using WINE (http://www.winehq.org) or CrossOverOffice. This simulates the windows environment upto the extent of letting u run lot of executables. They may or may not run correctly. While Wine is free CrossOver is a paid product built around wine. Xandros 3.0 has CrossOver office bundled which otherwise is available for a 30 day evaluation version or a $40 download for the full version. If you .exe requires only DOS to execute, then you can install DOSEMU which as the name suggests is a dos emulator. hope this helps. abhishek __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
