Ajai Chowdhury, said that the new PC had undergone vigorous tests to make it perfect for the Indian conditions. "Most of the existing low-cost PCs are either stripped down versions or made of spurious components," he added. Wonder what he means by "spurious". rgds jtd

Only a single pci slot. You always seem to require one more than available. That apart it is a great platform to do all sorts of stuff.

Software decoding of MP3 on 8 bitters is a no no. Hardware decoders / encoders yes. But the cost of 32bit arm / mips / sh micons with onchip flash, ram and mp3 encoder /decoders is about $8 retail. Adding an ide is easy. Or even better add usb driver ic at $1. Get USB to ide disk dabba from Lamington Rd. stick in 400gb hdd and freak out. The problem is that there is vast array of devices available to do a given job. Couple that with the even wider choice of GNU software and the decision making process becomes never ending - even for a fun thing. Was the 8051 and ISA better? I need to think before i decide |-/ > Can pci standards be used on a pci card > without a pci slot mobo? No. The PCI signals require special drivers to reduce signal bounce and switching power consumption in order to run at high speeds, apart from other requirements like irq routing and dynamic address and dma assignment etc. The old ISA bus was simple to interface with but was pathetic at i/o. Even on a 386 33MHz signal bounce was a nightmare with dma transfers. The RD and WR signals would pulse twice causing all sorts of problems. rgds jtd

Unless ur idea is to learn making ur own MP3 player.... For real bang for the buck nothing can beat the i386 pc. The compromise is power consumption (as in cant use a battery) and size (as in cant carry around). A via cle266 based mobo with 1.6Ghz onboard cpu costs around Rs.3100. Add 128mb ram, 40gb drive, cd and box. Total Rs. 8600/-. Add 2 line lcd and remote =Rs.1200/-. Add 15" LCD, pixelview tuner card, audigy sound card and creative speakers and DVD/cd combo = Rs.26800. Load Mythtv and friends. You have a full blown home entertainment Personal Video / Audio Recording system which should last for the next 5 yrs. It should beat the crap out of commercial stuff costing 4 times as much. You need a 105db noise floor sound card to match the pros. I am renovating my place and am doing precisely the above. I am going to add an LCD projector. My amp is a home brew 200w rms mosfet thingy. For starters i will be using my 100w 3way 20 yr old homebrew speakers (after limiting the amp ofcourse). I might build a pair of Electro Static Loudspeakers tho. The mid and high clarity and definition is astounding with ESLs. I will be loading linux bios for fast booting and will run it from a usb pendrive. In order to reduce harddisk wear load all songs into ramdisk and stop the hd.One problem area will be the SMPS. The ones in the pc are perfect audio and rf noise sources. Embeded boards are expensive because of miniscule volumes. Their advantage is battery operations, low heat, no moving parts and compact size. Relative to their cost the performance is pathetic. If you do not need the embedded intrinsic advantages use the i386. rgds jtd

Hi I have 2 hdds both 40gb. ( Say D1 and D2) I have 2 pc's (say P1 and P2) P1- new with P4,256mb ram CDR/DVD combo drive etc.and D1 is connected here P2 old IBM branded celeron 500 64 mb RAM 52x CD ROM drive BIOS does not support CD booting and D2 is connected here The P1 pc boots XP and FC3 as XP is used by my brother. Also I have installed 2 more distros on this. As the P2 pc does not have a FDD and CD boot is not possible I was not able to load any distros except ubuntu so it was lying idle for some time I removed D2 from the old PC P2 and connected in the P1 Pc The P1 Pc is detecting it as Primary master and Primary slave. Even FC3 recognises it as hdb. My problems 1.I do not remember what filesystem I have created on D2 although FC3 shows some partitions. I am unable to mount them. 2. Sometimes after booting FC3 or even Slackware when I run dmesg I get some errors of DisK_read io error 3.How do i format D2 and create partitions on the same 4.My D2 is showing as 32gb even though it is 40 gb. Can this be resolved by formatting it new Thanks and regards Ninad Bapat

need to build an embedded mp3 player

Evening Fellas, Am looking to build an MP3 player based on Gnu-/linux. This would be based essentially on one of the embedded processor architectures either the MIPS or the x86. The whole issue is as follows, i have a 25x25rms amplifier at my residence and would like to have an mp3 player with an LCD-Remote Control connected to it. The building of the mp3 player is the easiest part. The tough part is finding hardware that would be the right fit. What are the boards i should be looking at?. Any ideas or url's that i could RTFM???. Thanks and take care.

Suggest R-Connect Phone

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?

Debian, Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, CentOS (RHEL clone) are a few that have AMD64 editions. I would suggest that you try the AMD64 edition of whichever 32 bit distro you are using now. I have been using SuSE 9.2/AMD64 for the past year and I am quite happy with it. -- Arun Khan <knura(a)yahoo.com> Linux is a wigwam: No Windows, No Gates, Apache inside.

[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?
