Wether their website supports other browsers or not is a minor quibble. The real issue here is are they aware about Libre software. If they are they should have been using GNU software. Libre software is about keeping knowledge open and useable for the benefit of all. This is the only issue that is important. The opensource movement very convienently forgets this issue. The recent SCO shenanigans should be an eye opener. I havent as yet read the mag. Therfore my comments maybe way off. I intend to read it on Sunday. rgds jtdsouz(a)softhome.net

Open Source Databases
by Amol Hatwar 15 Mar '03

15 Mar '03

Hi, Somebody put a mail on how Open Source databases compete with the commercial one's on this list a few days ago. This story from CNN may add to the picture: http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/03/12/fortune.ff.open.source/index.html Amol Hatwar. It's most certainly GNU/Linux, and not Linux.

Re: How to configure web server behind Proxy

You can redirect traffic coming to a particular port to another host on the network using xinetd. You might have to do a little tweaking for http traffic, but it is possible. Configure your proxy server (in this reference, gateway) to redirect the traffic to the host serving http. > > > In my college we are using squid as a proxy server for the entire lab.

GNU/Linux month
by Amol Hatwar 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi all, I read a seperate e-mail about RMS' bithday on 16 of March. Why not all of us celebrate it in the following manner: All of us who beleive it must be GNU/Linux and not Linux, carry an email signature indicating this, and a link where one could get more information for about a month. This should be equivalent to wearing a badge in the net-era. Let's declare March 16 - April 15 as the GNU/Linux month. I'll be glad to see more of such badges floating around :). ------------- It's most certainly GNU/Linux, not Linux. Read more at http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html. ------------- Warm regards, Amol Hatwar.

knoppix resolution problem
by Pradnyesh Sawant 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

hello luggers, first of all i would like to thank you for helping me with the grub.conf file to boot into my knoppix partition. the entry that i made in my grub.conf file for knoppix is as follows: title Knoppix root (hd0,8) kernel /vmlinuz ro initrd /initrd.gz one thing that i would like to point though, is that there are not 2 copies of grub.conf, one in /boot/grub and the other in /etc. in fact the /etc/grub.conf is a link to /boot/grub/grub.conf i would also like to thank you all, for in the process of configuring my grub.conf, i learned some commands on the grub prompt now, that the question of booting into the knoppix partition is solved, i would like to ask another question. i am getting very *BIG* fonts/icons in the knoppix gui. i changed the screen resolution to 1024x768 in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, but it did not help. i continue getting huge fonts/icons even after rebooting. i am attaching the part of the file mentioned, that relates to my screen.

Hi folks Some more news for the community... (this quotes a Forrester Research report highlights. Their report is too expensive :-) so I just have a few highlights here ! IAC this does make interesting reading) ------- QUOTE ----------- THE LINUX TIPING POINT Linux brings seductive Intel economics into the Unix heart of the datacenter. To avoid the chaos of unbridled Linux growth, CIOs must lead a shift to managed Linux deployment. The payoff? A fast track to Organic IT. - by Ted Schadler with Charles Rutstein, Laura Koetzle, Angela Tseng, Frank Pandolfe A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE CONTENTS - In Interviews : - 72% of respondents expect to use more Linux in 2004. - About a quarter are replacing Windows servers with Linux. - Enterprise support stalls Linux for 46% of interviewees. Their Analysis : - In 2004, Linux adoption will explode in every datacenter, challenging CIOs to keep proliferation under control. - Managed Linux deployment gives both datacenter pros and application teams tools and processes to make Linux a success. - Recoding an application? Don't overlook Microsoft. They say it means : - Proprietary Unix is stone-cold dead -- but big iron lives on. - Laggard ISVs will regret their go-slow approach to Linux.

PCQuest Linux Version 8
by Saswata Banerjee & Associates 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi, I got the PCQuest Linux Version 8 distro last week and installed it on my PC. It is based on the RedHat 8, but with some modification which they feel is better for Indian Users. I was impressed with the way it installs and works. I think new users may find it very useful. For example, knowing that many users now use cable internet and that most of the cable operators use cyberoam software called 24onlineclient, they have provided the necessary software which can be used to connect to cable internet. Similarly, they have provided aMSN and Yahoo messanger. I found this very useful. They have also provided a software called MONO, which is supposed to be the GNU\Linux version of Microsoft's Dot Net Framework. The PCQuest magazine for this month gives detailed explaination for each of the things they have provided and how to get it running. And basically in not techie language. Basically, I got "out of the box" features. Only problem is that after every 12-15 minutes, I get logged out of my cable network and need to log in again. I hope to get my cable operator solve for me today. Regards Saswata
