Linux for Grandma, Part 2 Our Free Software guru takes a look at new releases of Mandrake and the Gnome desktop, with an eye toward bringing one more Linux user online. Matthew Newton, PC World Friday, April 02, 2004 As I explained in my last column, I've got a mission: to bring the Web to my grandmother. She's a computer novice who's going to have a nitro-burnin' IBM Thinkpad pulling the Internet out of the air so she can sit out on her patio and e-mail me about how lovely the weather is down south. The Thinkpad will be running Linux, so when I visit her, I won't have to spend time clearing adware and spyware and viruses from her machine. And she won't care what operating system the notebook is running, which is fine with me. She shouldn't have to think about her operating system--that's my job. http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,115411,00.asp -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Why SCO Thinks It Can Win By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols April 1, 2004 eWEEK Special Report: The Battle over Unix LINDON, UtahIn many pro-Linux circles, it's a given that The SCO Group Inc. can't possibly win in court. Obviously, SCO disagrees. In an exclusive interview, eWEEK.com Linux and Open Source editor Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols visited SCO CEO Darl McBride and Chris Sontag, senior vice president of the SCOsource division, at the company's headquarters in Lindon, Utah. There, they explained why they think SCO can win the legal battle. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1559939,00.asp -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Book: The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric Raymond

02 Apr '04

Product: The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric Raymond Publisher: Addison-Wesley & Prentice Hall PTR Address: Pearson Education, 1 Lake Street, #3K17 Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 URL: www.pearsoned.com About the Author Eric S. Raymond is, with Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman, one of the three most influential thinkers/leaders in the open-source movement. In 1997, Eric published a technical paper called "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" that explained the astonishing success of Linux as a product of the transparent peer-review process surrounding its development. This paper rocked the world; it shook up a lot of established ideas about software development, gave Linux advocates powerful new arguments, motivated Netscape to release the source code for the Mozilla browser and, some say, helped trigger the tech-stock boom of 1998-1999. Eric maintains over thirty software projects and was for over a year rated the #1 hacker in the world by a hundred thousand of his peers on the SourceForge community development site. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=7489&mode=thread&order=0 -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Line balancing and modem coupling
by Rajesh 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

Hi All Can any one just go through this help me? Aim: To almost double bandwidth by using two dial up modems connected to two DIFFERENT accounts on the SAME ISP. Configuration: 1) 56K Internal Modem. 2) 56K External Modem. 3) PCQ Linux ISP: MTNL/VSNL. Have 2 phone lines under the mtnl unlimited scheme. Would like to team the two to increase my bandwidth. I have tried Multilinking (using same ISP, same Account with WinXP) and it works, but this is NOT what I want. I am looking at modem teaming, which does not require ISP support and apparently can be done on a linux machine.(load balancing). If anyone has any clue on how to go about it, I'd appreciate some documentation or help. thanks Rajesh Hi All Can any one just go through this help me?
