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.

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.

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

workshop in DJSCE?
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Hi, I had visited D. J. Sanghvi CoE some time ago to collect my leaving certificate. There some people in the Electronic dept informed that the HoD was interested in a 2-day workshop on GNU/Linux ... I had given them the LUG's email address, but seems there was no further action on that. I noticed at least one person - Charudatt Mulye - is a student in DJSCE. Can you contact Dr. Mrs. Warnekar and follow up on the plans for a workshop? I believe the college is setting up a lot of new labs and want to have a good setup that will be manageable by students themselves ... Sameer.

IEEE symposium
by Pradnyesh Sawant 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

hello luggers, this is regarding my previous mail in which i had sadly informed that we could not hold a workshop in Vivekanand engg. coll. for the PRAXIS festival. i had also said that we could instead have a workshop on behalf of IEEE. i talked to a person in IEEE vesit chapter today, and he said that there's a *bombay level* symposium coming up in probably 2nd week of april. we could have a gnu/Linux workshop during the sympo. he said that since the sympo is bombay level, there will be a very good response, and that the no. of people (both students and professionals) wil be large. we could have a stall for selling cds, etc. if we are willing to pay them some money. the exact amount will be decided by them if we are willing to pay them. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

PCQuest Linux Version 8
by Saswata Banerjee & Associates 11 Mar '03

11 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

knoppix problem
by Pradnyesh Sawant 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

my hdd has the foll config: partition type mount size comments hda1 vfat /mnt/win 3GB hda5 ext3 /boot 23MB hda6 ext3 /data 10GB hda7 swap 205MB hda8 ext3 / 2.5GB Red Hat Linux 7.3 hda9 ext3 / 3.33GB Knoppix i first installed knoppix in hda9 and then installed Rhl 7.3 in hda8. The Rhl installation did not detect knoppix and hence did not create an entry in grub. when i tried to mount hda9 as ext3 in /knoppix on hda8, while booting it said that the filesystem is not supported. but when i mount hda9 from root prompt in hda8 using "mount -t ext3 /dev/hda9 /knoppix", i can access all the directories present on hda9. i tried making the foll entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf title knoppix root(hda0,5) kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda9 initrd /initrd.gz #here i've created "$ln -s /boot/initrd.gz initrd.gz" but, when i try to select the knoppix option at the grub login, it gives me "error 15: file not found" what is the problem? how do i solve it? hence, my immediate problem is to get a working entry in grub, so that i can use my knoppix installation. any help will be greatly apprediated -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

about praxis
by Pradnyesh Sawant 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

this is regarding the technical festival named "Praxis" to be held in Vivekanand engg. college on 16-17 march. in the last meet, i had said, that being a student of Vivekanand engg. coll. i will talk to the Praxis managing committee about holding a small workshop on Gnu/Linux and/or having a small stall where we could sell Gnu/Linux related cds like Knoppix, etc. i inform you all with great displeasure, that the festival is heavily scheduled with various events, and that we cannot be allowed to hold a workshop. but i also have a good news. in all probability, we might be allowed to hold a workshop on behalf of the IEEE VESIT chapter in the following week. we might also be allowed to have a stall to sell cds, etc. i will contact the necessary authorities, and let you all know about the workshop as soon as possible. i personally think that educating students about Gnu/Linux is important and the media shouldn't matter much. so we should all see this as a good opportunity -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Postgresql Apache PHP fine tunning
by Paresh parihar 10 Mar '03

10 Mar '03

Hi Srinivas, With Php/Postgres/Apache what issues i see is the configuration directives that u have given while compiling php with postgres and apache, here are some configuration parameters you can see: Postgres Configuration Directives: pgsql.allow_persistent boolean Whether to allow persistent Postgres connections. pgsql.max_persistent integer The maximum number of persistent Postgres connections per process. pgsql.max_links integer The maximum number of Postgres connections per process, including persistent connections. So your php{3/4}.ini file should have these types of values assigned for these directives: [PostgresSQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. pgsql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. pgsql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent+non persistent). -1 means no limit. pgsql.max_links = -1 If these values are fixed then you might get problems what you are talking about. These values can also be read from phpinfo() in a php script file, so u necessarily need not open this file. Srinivas Wrote: Hi , We are using apache php and portgresql for one of our web based accounting package . Initially we were using pconnect then we stated getting too many connection errors the moment more than five users loged in. So we switched to connect , but problme is the whole system runs very slow . Infact i would like to get some optimisation techniques for all this kind of setup .

INDIA: Debian...KDE programming... dynamic images (DEVELOPERiq * March 2003)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

THIS ALL AND more is included in the March 2003 issue of DeveloperIQ magazine, published from India (www.developeriq.com). Check the issue for THEN THERE ARE [GNU]Linux fanatics. I admire Linux pros a lot, and I know that using the OS needs more than mere mouse management. But what puts me off is an attitude, which many have for Windows users, developers and the rest of the community. I know many who have thrown away (actually they formatted the hard disk and loaded a new distro) Windows boxes and switched to [GNU]Linux and continued being happy. Great! But you just cannot stamp all Windows users and developers as mentally retarded. -Editorial, S. Ramdas Contact: ramdas(a)developeriq.com o DEBIAN 3.0 -- the first of five CDs. (Readers can avail of the other four at Rs 149, incl courier. But the CDs will be shipped with DeveloperIQ over the next year too.) o READER'S QUERY on why the installation program could not write to the MBR... o JAVA IN the enterprise: "Java's heritage is more aligned with the Open Source movement and community process. In fact, many would argue that free software forms an important part of the dynamic Java..." 4-pg.article o STATE OF WEB services: One of the biggest myths, which many developers especially coming from the Microsoft camp have, is that Web Services means .Net. This is not true... Where Sun and Microsoft score is they have ready-made roadmaps and product offerings.... Soon all the products from MS, including MS Office, will be .Net enabled, locking the customers to a .Net environment as far as possible... The Open Source world still does not have a combined solution... But there are lots happening, read the next article. o OPEN ROLE in Web services. Open Source (Free Software?) is fast catching up with their Web services portfolio. Axis from Apache, jBpm, OBE, Powerfolder, TestMaker, Rotor ("this is not exactly Open Source and is more Shared Source"), NetAything, The Go Mon Project, DotGNU. o DotGNU; The GNU version of the .Net initaitive. GNU branding is big, but the project somehow is lagging behind Mono. DotGNU is being developed jointly under the auspices of FreeDevelopers and the GNU project. The DotGNU system will be a well- integrated part of the GNU system and it will also be available to the users of all other wisely used OSs. It sounds very ambitious since the final goal is to create an operating system for the Internet. Currently a primitive beta version of the framework is available. See http://www.dotgnu.org o APACHE AXIS, the leading FLOSS tool kit for implementing Web services, gets two pages. o MASTER EMBEDDED Linux/Linux drivers from experts. Projects on porting, writing BSP for embedded GNU/Linux, network, wireless LAN, SCSI, fibre channel, USB device driver. Fees Rs 12,500-30,000. Four to six months course. Grace Systems, Bangalore contact(a)gracelabs.com http://www.gracelabs.com (ad) o TERMINAL CAPABILITIES of UNIX. By Arun Sundar. http://www.geocities.com/delightfularun/index.html o INSTALLING Pear:Soap o LINUXMAGINDIA on a CD. 18CDs in a year, customised for you, at Rs 1499. o KDE Programming Part 2. The KDE project had the goal of simplifying the use of GNU/Linux, very much like the Windows OS. This looks at how one can program using KDE in a typical GUI environment. o CREATING dynamic images, using PHP and GD.These are images that are generated on-the-fly by the server. o PLAYING AROUND with Python buttons. "Windows programmers may be warned that if you are comparing Python GUI with Visual Basic, it's like ptiching the Australian cricket team against the Bangladesh team." There are several widgets, which the Tk module supports. Mastering them is quite easy and infact learning Tkinter is as easy as learning Visual Basic. -- Frederick Noronha : http://www.bytesforall.org : When we speak of free Freelance Journalist : Goa India 403511 : software we refer to Ph 0091.832.409490 : Cell 0 9822 122436 : freedom, not price.
