I teach students doing their MSc in s/w systems, and I was amazed at their ignorance about free software. Since I teach software engineering, we've taken up GNU/Linux as a case study for this subject. I get the feeling it has aroused their interest in free s/w. One student asked me, "If it's so great, which I can see it is, how come we never knew about it?". I also wish to encourage these students to take up GNU/Linux related final-semester projects, where I hope the PRC will assist me.

News Extract from EcoTimes: ELX
by Darshan.Wakchaure＠lntinfotech.com 09 Jul '02

Everyone's Linux, Maxil to launch ELX Power SUNIL RAJANALA TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ TUESDAY, JULY 09, 2002 2:37:56 AM ] HYDERABAD: Everyone's Linux (ELX) in association with Maxil Technology Solutions, US, is gearing up to launch a Linux-based operating system, ELX Power desktop version across North America, Europe, Latin America and Australia by end-July this year. ELX is India's first commercial Linux-based Operating System, which matches Windows by every feature and provides the additional advantages of Linux's robustness and security. The Linux operating system has been developed by Hyderabad-based Everyone's Linux, formerly 3T solutions. Speaking to ET, Maxil Technology's MIS director, Raj Kosaraju said, the soft launch of ELX Power Desktop Version 1.0 took place during late June this year across North America including Canada. By the third week of July, the product will find its way into markets of Europe, Latin America, South Africa, Australia and the rest of the world, he said. ELX also plans to launch the product in India during August for just Rs 900 for Indian customers. To strengthen the relationship, Maxil proposes to enter into a joint venture by participating in ELX equity. "Right now, we are not a JV but we are planning to enter into equity participation in the near future. We are actually a strategic marketing alliance partner to ELX and are working towards handling a global marketing initiative through our network partners all across the globe. We are planning to invest quite substantially in ELX in the next few months to scale up the operations to meet a growing demand," Mr Raj said. He said Maxil will be investing to the tune of Rs 50 lakh immediately in the next three months and subsequently bring in additional funds keeping in line with business volumes and sales forecasts. The revenue model is based on a 55:45 ratio with Maxil sharing 45 percent with ELX from the revenues that accrue in terms of overall product sales. The advertising and promotional costs along with infrastructure and overheads will be borne by Maxil. Meanwhile, talks are on with a Canada based hardware manufacturer to bundle the operating system with the hardware. The name has not been divulged because the discussions are still in the early stages. Just as Walmart sells Lindows (Linux) based desktops which are much cheaper than big brands, Maxil is trying for a venture to make desktops available at 30-40 per cent less than the regular PC, Mr Kosaraju said. He said during the test phase, the pre-release version of ELX had 89,000 free downloads between April and June 2002, with most of the downloads from educational institutions, colleges, and universities. He expects to sell around 5000 units in the US during next three months and 10,000 by the year-end. Further releases of the power desktop version are being planned with ELX Power Desktop 1.0 Light scheduled for release during November, followed by ELX Desktop 1.1 version during 2003. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow.asp?art_id=15402221

Re: [LIH] /etc/pam.d/wvdial
by Philip S Tellis 08 Jul '02

Well, there was thread on this last week, and it may also be useful to others, so I'm posting it. To let all users use wvdial without giving them root password or making wvdial setuid root, do this (tested on RH6.0) 1. put your wvdial binary in /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin (your pref) make sure permissions are no more than 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) 2. create /etc/pam.d/wvdial with the following: #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so #auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so The line with pam_pwdb is commented out. If you want wvdial to prompt for user's password (not root password), then uncomment that line. 3. create /etc/security/console.apps/wvdial with the following: PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/wvdial (or /usr/local/sbin/wvdial depending...) 4. create a symlink from /usr/bin/consolehelper to /usr/bin/wvdial (or /usr/local/bin/wvdial) 5. run wvdial as a normal user. -- Can't open /usr/fortunes.

Re: Disk Driver Overlay and Loadlin clash at MBR! help
by Vinay Pai 07 Jul '02

07 Jul '02

I think you can fix your problem by installing LILO or Grub on some partition rather than the MBR and making that the active partition. for example if your HDD is /dev/hda and you have Windoze on /dev/hda1 and Linux on /dev/hda2, put Grub on /dev/hda2 and DDO on /dev/hda (the MBR). Then use FDISK to set /dev/hda2 as the active partition. I think this should work. If not I do have a few slightly more complicated workarounds in mind. > I had installed disk manager of samsung to support my new 40 GB HDD as > my motherboard bios dont support large capacity drives.
