* waystar wonders how the BSOD looks on Mars...
Man, are the ogg feeds ever going to work right again? I had to drop and get an mp3 again because of looping on ogg.
Obviously the biggest story of the year was the passing of John Ritter
And verily did the Expose project become Caldera Systems and Novell forthwith sold the rights to relicense Unixware to The Santa Cruz Operation
"Were not going through space, oh shit oh shit, BSOD!!!"
s/not/now
Sorry RH has soured me totatlly - I'm dumping it here at work as soon as I can.

I thought HURD was just the kernel, like Linux is. How far along is it though -- can it run gnome and friends?
windows has a kernel? I thought it was just a hampster running in a wheel!
knowprose: More like a popcorn kernel. :-)
NZheretic : Even Bin Laden opposed Sadam.
HURD is a kernel. But it
hurd is micro-kernel

Thanks. My wife works for an airbrush shop.
Revolution OS thinkgeek.com
cool
or VBasic for Linux
download it..
What about microsoft claims of IP covering FAT? That's going to hurt.

yep. pride won't allow it.
question, Do you REALLY want M$ making a linux distro?

anyone here been contacted by Microsoft about what should go into their next operating system?
NO
Not saying that MS canI've seen small
Oops
jose: http://vb2py.sourceforge.net/
I think that MS, if pushed enough, will have NO choice but to release either a linux flavor with their brandishing on it, or a version of office for Linux.

<[Wildman]> MS must know Linux. They distribute their office suite on Mac X
jose there was a kde basic project in the works a year or so ago, don't know the current status...
Sure MS can make Linux. They can call it Lindows. Oh wait...
no office for linux...
there ya go jeff
Not saying that MS can't lose (they will) but I've seen small companies take years to die
i'll keep oo.o thankyou ;-D
call it windows but it can be Linux
Even after it was a done deal
Windows Media Player is available for Linux.
They willl
Embedded apps.
MGALUG -- ever see "Pirates of Silicon Valley"? Pretty good.
where's the money
DougDante: it is?
Office is already ported to OS X
<[Wildman]> SuSE's package is Winerack
Money talks. bottom line
Codeweavers has the Office thing going.
Thats why MS is mad at Lindows, they wanted to use that name!!!
Gates is obstinant and arrogant
They would rather make MS-BSD

why don't they?
namaseit: interesting observation
"Windows Media Makes Its Way to Linux" http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,110175,00.asp

but they'd still call in windows
it, not in
MS could buy Lindows
mwg: I play thenm with mplayer
mwg: which plugin for Mozilla do you use
for mplayer
No they will offer a BSD to Corporations
I want NetZero for linux, I can't go on the internet without
Not sure MPlayer is legal in USA, and 300Millino-ish people live there.
<-- alandd has quit (Quit: Leaving)
they won't be able to sustain a business model with any of their products ported to linux. Especially once the open source equivalents get up to speed.
mplayer mmmmmm
I use OO.o on Windows at work.
DougDante: Is this recent, as I have a (3+years) old WMP for linux, it never worked well.
I use mplayer in the US, and nobody has ever knocked on my door.
Gates is smart. He built a castle in the sky, and he's worried about the Barbarians at the Gate... GNU/Linux tears at the foundation.
... I had to switch to mozplugger ..rpm -e mplayerplugin ... and it kills quicktime integration
bbiab
it's a dead end - selling software that is bloated and overpriced does not work - especially on linux.
MGALUG: Mozilla Plug-in for which function?
kmplayer, can be embedded into apps like konqueror
City of Austin looking at Linux - was /.

Redhat is actively working on Fedora.
and the Fedora doesn't include xine...have to yum install xine
<[Wildman]> Yeah but where will the small to mid size company's go for their solutions when the money is not there?
JDS is very nice. I got it 2 weeks ago. Very basic, but a nice complete simple desktop system
Arne - what about the China sale

I cant wait for Project Looking Glass to be available
You don't understand what Redhat is doing!
psycholnx, yah no kidding, that 3d stuff looked pretty sweet
Fedora is not run by the community. It is just the beta for future Redhat
mwg: Exactly. Meanwhile everyone has their panties in a wad over SCO. SCO will sort itself out.
look at gentoo.....!
What's the current situation with software patents in Europe? Any Europeans or people up on that in here?
yes.. im looking forward to it
psycholnx, there is something like that already for linux, uses opengl
mwg: Even IBM is known for using patents for leverage ;)
Anybody know if there is an official Linux logo?
what is it called
psycholnx, dont remember
I signed the petition -- anything else an American can do about this EU patent thing?
dang
Borkur: yea... tux
Borkur : Tux, the penguin.
What about entire distros like knoppix on a USB key - distro and data. If those keys are ever bootable, man they'd take off like a bat out of heck
Tux is basically the "official" logo.
dang.. i guess we'll have to hunt, or wait for Looking glass
Linurati: Just generally make noise.
put it in Google: tux linux
borkur: The closest thing to a Linux Logo is a penguin named Tux.

Linurati: holy crap man, can I purchase one of these shirts from you?
Mandrake has a distro on a usb key too
Borkur -- isn't that tux
There are distros that boot off of a USB drive -- see DistroWatch.com
Borkur, Tux
Yeah I know about the tux but the tux is more like a mascot ... A logo is more like "the_official_logo.jpg" :)
i thought that was a distro that stored its data on a usb key - the distro was a cd

I use gnome because it's prettier - at least i think - but KDE kicks ass too
OOOHHH Shit. KDE.
there will never be a single linux desktop
KDE is way more stable.
Athlon XP 2600+ here.
Um. last time I checked KDE doesn't require corporate backing to survive.
XFCE4 is big enough for me! :)
Bill_E: Yeah, well...

I've tried Gnome several times, but it just lacks a bunch of features that KDE has. I wouldn't need those features if I were a init-file guru, but I'm not. Example: There is no way (that I could find) to switch my keymap to Dvorak, which is very easy to find in the KDE Control Panel.

IBM is far from stupid. They can not settle, for the same reason Israel does not negotiate with terrorists
One thing I don't like, Gnome is impossible to install from source, so many packages it's insane

That means that if you show people that the open source alternative is better anyway (example, OO.o vs. MS Office), then the closed source software will fail all on its own.
toga heh :)
Patent!!
the kernel should always be open. as long as that happens, then I don't mind closed sources apps for Linux; so long as the companies are competing fairly
Bill Gates Senior was a prominent Seattle Senator, BTW.
yeah, they're going to get dirty
ms -- what about their patent portfolio.
BG Sr. was Seatle Lawyer
M$ woi
I think MS site will get DOS attack every other month
Also a senator
john: patch 2.6.1 (not 2.6.1-rc1)
Linurati: ok I see. Your comment was more like some Zen philosophy thing. got it
Asserting their IP over FAT is going to hurt. Think about all the digital cameras, and other devices
How did OJ walk?
How can Microsoft's EULA be legal and not GPL?

indeed beware of US senate/congress to 'promote' Linux and GPL contrabandwarez
they can
their EULA *should* be illegal!

You can patent it!
Okay. I run a Linux advocacy site (Linurati.net) -- I'm on your side!

Everyone knows that, right? During the height of the Blaster worm attacks, M$ sites were on Linux. hee hee
he likes the x-files does'nt he?
hehehehe.. explain 'removal'
still are
MGALUG, then Linus would start using it too so he can go a coding rampage and create linux 2.8.0 in 48 hours!!!
sounds like a mafia thing..
is he implying knocking linus off -- i.e. a sopranos whacking
lol
indeed M$ linux would be very serious stuff. why? Microsoft has over 75% of the PeeCee hardware manufacturares inside their control, and might create a M$ Linux distro, which would then be the only distro on which all Windows hardware also works.... be very afraid.
Correction.... Bill Gates Senior _was_ lawyer, not Senator
Yeah I saw tht Linurati, LOL
However...
hahaha
Change IP to propreitary procol, Crinley predicted that oe.
hahahahahaha
:x
heh
nice comment ESR
you forgot the 'you smoking crack'
Linurati: they used akami (sp), They didn't run their sites in linux
Did he just say "go do what to yourself"? LMHO
Linus would say what refined crack are you smoking Bill
Mom Gates was the lawyer.
my minor ears, oh noes lol
what about andrew mortem and the rest of the kernel gurus
ms -- certainly could work on government regulations....

it will go underground with kde!

Sun would be screwed if linux went away, Novell, IBM. Lot's of others

Declare the GPL an illegal "pyramid scheme" where somehow the downstream people "pay" the upstream people who do nothing.
just like SCO
knowprose: LOL
knowprose: ESR HAS a lot of guns
ms office will be the transition software revenue stream before settling on something more services and hardware combo based. similar to ibm's market position.
How can Linux go underground -- it's *everywhere*! It could never go away, even if every current developer moved to Mars. The source in *everywhere*, and others would take it up.
lol
LOL
this community has so much intellectual capital now, if Linux gets derailed, we'll start something new the next day

darl's ass has to come up.
Yuck! Bad mmental image of the century!
Business is good here!!!
yah slack is where it's at
john: HERE HERE
eWeek columnist writes on the SCO 'wolf story'
john: I love Slackware -- it's my favorite distro. I'm just not knowledgable enough to use it.
I saw that in the Wall Street Journal!
More people are blaming Sun!
MicroSCO
My customers could care less about SCO.
Slack here!
MicroSCOffed?
HAHA -- GEM Desktop -- I had an 8088 Amstrad in late 80's ... it was great - on four 5 1/4" colored floppies. The green one went bad :(
eWeek even asked something about the SUN funding SCO
cstevens: No, they couldn't.
;o)
SUN bought a SCO license also
linuxitch: I still have an Amstrad PC1512. Needs some work.
Linurati: totally!
I'm in xchat -- clueless newb (re: the app) what does it mean when the name of a commentator is in color (e.g.Linurati PaulH)
IT will be interesting to see who is really behind SCOX $50 million funding
Only after AT&T pissed off Judge Greene
john, its yours

hey Robin. Been a while since the conference.
I make my living supporting Windows. Stressful at times, but as long as MS sells softwre, I'm employed.
That's a good point, though.
I'd rather support Linux.

How many active kernel hacker is there?
gonna be in NYC in 2 weeks?
THREAT: Microsoft supports some open source software, and distributes the same for Windows. IMPACT: Microsoft leverages OS software, slows switch to Linux PROBLEM FOR MS: OpenOFfice.org impacts MS Office sales.

I just saw some LindowsOS adds in Mexico
Desktop, that flat surface where I keep my monitor, keyboard and trackball. :-)
I'm probably going to be converting an animation studio to linux
You mean Sun's JDS?
THREAT: MS locks in new computers to Windows using BIOS locking mechanisms from manufacturers. e.g. "Trusted Computing" IMPACT: Users must specfically buy a computer from a limited # of manufacturers to run Linux
i had problems with acpi in 2.6.0
for me the year of the desktop is when i see linux in office max or on my mom's computer
I tripled my number of desktops running it in 2003

Will Linux get 10% of the desktop in 2004?
Novell management is very focused on being the #1 and Sun is giving competition...
2) Linux on the Enterprise Desktop - Hell YES

What about Linux in the Movies! No one mentioned that!
scotter: like what? they have nothing
when did slack do the ver # jump?
2004, the year IBM will own everything
Linurati: I'm not sure, but Windows 3.1 was the dominant version at the time.
rh5.2
Linux is the movies these days!!!!
at the end it will be only IBM
really??
dunno,
game over
what distro
woo-hoo!
graywind, dont know, check slackware.com
2004 will be the year Sun goes under
Linux *makes* the movies these days.... Shrek, etc.
Kennedy Space Center Uses OpenNMS http://opennms.org/
microsoft is irrelevant
suse that ran from disk off of a linux format magizine- then installed MDK 7.2
MS is just a toy we keep around to bash :)
Slackware but it wouldn't install off the stack o floppies so I ordered FreeBSD 2.0 on CD...
Microsoft is irrelevant, SCO is futile!

JasonPerlow, Haven't you heard my quote? - "I no longer hate Microsoft. Why should I? I haven't used their products since 1998."
MGALUG ASUS K8V deluxe : EUR 156,= AMD64 3200+ (2200MHz/1Mb) EUR 329,= (boxed including cooler)
Google?
Mars Rover Linux: http://lwn.net/Articles/62848/
jeremy_: Oh, cool.
Google?
I agree with Jeff -- the economy is swinging back, and with the $$$ save on MS products that can be pumped into real business ventures
Google? IPO
IT rose 60% this year...
I have older magazines that have ads for boxed sets of Slackware
2004 will suck to be a little linux company
yahoo is dropping google, woder if it will hurt the IPO?
JZA, check out my friend Warren's Mepis Linux- free Debian-based nice distro, we know how to keep it free AND make money.
JasonPerlow, not really

I sat down in meetings with IBM

I hate palm pdas
they think its crap
err.. Linux World Expo

linux :)
wireless... but not a wireless device here
yea... that sucks

sure
<-- jeremy_ has quit (Quit: Leaving)

and there are otehr major issues, like lack of professional developer tools
802.11b
JasonPerlow: I don't sync
JasonPerlow: I use my Z as a workstation
gonna try to make it work on Linux
the WUSB11 is badass, comes with a 6.5" usb cord
wart: thats who's buying pda's
Just for the challeeng
my bad
6.5'
cool
had it hooked onto the lid of my laptop
well, i'm leaving
linux on a pda will only be very compelling when 1 of 2 things happen
have the BEFCMU10 cable modem
gets great rnage
thanks for the chat guys
1) Wifi hotspots EVERYWHERE
hope this one does
yea
2) high speed wireless internet cellular access EVERYWHERE
got mine off
later gerrynjr
then windows syncing makes no difference
<-- gerrynjr has quit (Quit: leaving)
wireless for now... until get wireless card
for laptop
once you got high speed internet on a PDA, linux makes sense
JasonPerlow: lets hope that McDonald keep opening hotspots.. and u might have No. 1
otherwise its just a me too OS on a PDA
have Linksys WPC11 but its v.4 so it has the Realtek RTL8180L chipset that is closed source
it has nothing compelling to offer right now
--> IRCMonkey (~chatzilla@ip68-105-162-74.ga.at.cox.net) has joined #linuxshow
the apps are not of the same quality as palm and CE unfortuantely
JasonPerlow: well at least u can have this chat at ur house infront of the tv on the couch instead infront of the computer...
sure
did i read somewhere inside starbucks a WiFi connection costs about $10,= per hour?
core linux users and power users loved the zaurus
I like the usb wireless cause I can plug it into anything that has usb(old laptop) and it's wirelessly connected
the largest zaurus install was a railroad company
i have 2 laptops and one is old
stock: yeah I heard that... is a... how much would pay?... article
they bought 2000 units
CTX
the other is less than 6 months old
HP
they replaced an application on a notebook with an app on a zaurus
JasonPerlow: dunno, that Zaurus CL looks much bettter than a palm.. or CE
gave it to all their field engieers
one of mine is an old apple powerbook running YellowDog
they had an application that ran in python
I know someone that did that, but they put gentoo on it
pyQT
cool
so they used it to diagnose all teh railroad switching systems in teh field
for those kinds of vertical apps linux is great
iv'e been playing with PyQT
Gentoo crapped out on the install here... went with SuSE / Mandrake 10 / Mandrake 9.2
just lately
on my ex box
JZA well i'd say its the wrong appraoch : sell a monthly subscription for $10,= a month, and have ppl drink your c0ffee and beverages at normal prices , just get the WiFi connected crowd inside
nobody cares about the PIM applications and crap like that
but corporate and end users want good pim software and good sync with windows
Linux sucks at that now
yea
thats why sharp tried to change focus to enterprise
sometimes windows sucks at it too
but they dont have their new unit out yet
with bluescreens galore
<-- IRCMonkey has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.52 [Mozilla rv:1.6b/20031210])
*sometimes*? :)
ok...all the time
MGA: yeah, but linux needs a lot of help in the PDA integration with desktop department
they do
as a stand alone unit though running field applications its excellent
I mean you can ssh from your zaurus
hell you can run apache and php on it
Maybe Motorola and Cellphone integration will help that
I used it to remote admin egullet.com
JasonPerlow: PDA should have phone plugged so is usable
with mysql lite
I cant wait for a Zaurus-Cell phone integration
JZA... yea
JZA: motorola is working on it
give it six months
JZA motorola is working on Linux Cellphones... but not PDA
however I assure you IBM has lots of stuff up its sleeve
Somebody mentioned you can communicate with a cell phone via infrared port on the Zaurus.
good
give it a year or two and they will have some amazing stuff
what happened to the windows ce mobile phones? last thing i read, was that caller-id was malfunctioning.
JZA: soon there won't be a diference
NTT DoCoMo is also working on Linux Cellphones and DoCoMo have Video Cellphones
so hey.. :)
stock: TMobile has a few coming out
first generation ones were not so good
new units are supposed to be better
stock: they kept calling MS homebase. No one knows why :)
arent they always..
JeffGerhardt: what about posting IRC chat archives on the site?
they'll be linux cellphones this year
JasonPerlow here's in holland Orange is offering a subscription with free of charge SMS ... very very attractive, but you wind up with windows ce phone.
I'll email you
most of them in europe though
i have free sms
europe and asia will be the beta test for the US market
let them have the headaches
namaseit who's offering that?
AT&T
but they suck
hmm
:)
I don't know what plan I have
BTW you can get very, very good deals on older zauruses now
like the 5500
well, good night all you geeky geeks
yah 5500 is cheap
the 5500 is still an excellent machine
i need mah booty sleep

its good if you have hardware that is compatible and certified
namaseit well 10 meters is enough i would say, for such purposes
my buddy uses it with his palm and his nokia phone
beats irda for sure
it works, but its quirky
i would stick with IR for phone. even crappy ones come with it
JasonPerlow: Which version of OZ u running?
MGALUG bluetooth won't pass the 10 meter (4 yards) limit i would say...
or am i mistaking here
phantom: 3.2, I think
been a while since I upgraded it
theres also TKCrom with all TheKompany apps on it
supposed to be decent
Im torn on theKompany.com
JasonPerlow: 3.3.5 here. Santa just brought me my 5500 and I love it. But I must say Opera is a disappointment.

yeah Konqueror is much better
hmm interview : "Paul Mockapetris On The Future of DNS" on /.
PhantomsDad, you can put konq on it
one to read
JasonPerlow: Really, I thought Konq was "rough".
it works good
stock: yah I read that one
i dont really browse on my Z
<-- mm has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
primarily use it for email access and IM
namaseit i just cam home, when show was in progress :(
my 5500 is serial number 10
JasonPerlow: OK, will give it a try. Opera was supposed to do a great job of sizing websites to the small screen, but it doesn't really seem to do that very well. I use elinks instead.

the new HP with the keyboard
later mga
I really want a pda to come with usb *in* it, not just usb hook-up
yeah USB hosting is cool but it requires a lot of power
JasonPerlow: The Z 7000 and 8000 series are interesting with the 640x480 screen, but expensive.

--> You are now talking on #linuxshow

 however, it does not support the really old cirrus logic graphic cards

 NZheretic: got 2.6 running yet?

 I've got 2.6 going, I need to re-compile, missed the PC speaker and my beeps are missing.

 I dont have 2.6.0 running yet, just 2.6.0-test11

 the one thing that makes mepis different then knoppix is that it has got a icon on the desktop (in demo mode) that launches a fully automated installation script. it even has a disk partitioner / formater

 MGALUG : Waiting for new year.

 anyone got it going on Mandrake?

 yea...me too

 my mail server/web server is running test10

 just got my warranty replacement 160GB maxtor back ...installed tonight

 i would upgrade but don't want to kill my uptime :)

 but need new case

 then I

 will consider 2.6

 my western digital 120 gig is starting to crap out on me

 piece of crud

 thank goodness for 3 year manufacturer warranty cause I definately will need it

 I have several of those WD 120s at work... no probs yet.. kow

 i stay away from western digital & maxtor hard drives. they are worthless

 well I wish I had bought the 120 maxtor cause they *were* cheaper at the time and plus, I prefer maxtor

 seagate drives are the way to go

 bought the 120 gig WD for its 8mb cache

 mind crapped out after only 2 months

 $80 from Staples

 hello MGALUG

 chrisb: hello...  had vision of the thing crapping out on my just 2 weeks prior to it tanking

 actually, all hardware is a freaking crap shoot. Come on lucky number 7

<-- asaone has quit (Quit: using sirc version 2.211+KSIRC/1.2.1)  backed up to one of my work removable drives... whew

 photos, music, important stuff was on that drive

 Eyecon:  Sorry got distracted... yes my wife does use windows well, but she does not know computers technically very well...

 had the click of death.

 yah well I have had my hard drive go bad so many times I learned quickly if its important back it up another machine

 mine is using Linux now... kinda forced her into it

 think this one got too hot

 yah

--> Bob (~chatzilla@c-24-9-153-120.client.comcast.net) has joined #linuxshow

 was in the top corner of my case...

 I had a maxtor 30 gig single platter hd that went bad from heat

 had cooling turbo fan, but it was not enough

 in fact its warranty is up this month :--> asaone (~root@tamqfl1-ar6-4-62-215-252.tamqfl1.dsl-verizon.net) has joined #linuxshow

 lol, I think I have it working

 the 80GB maxtor I got from the Dumpster.... yea, dumpster still working

 Sorry for the intrusion, but Largo Florida is NOT moving to Ximain. They are evalutating it! But they haven't done anything yet.

 fine

 SO there is no show tonight?

 the best investment you can do for your box is to get a cd burner & do constant backups of your files every week

 nope

* viking667 wants an 8Gb that actually WORKS!!!

 There is one, just not one done tonight. :-)

 that would be nice to have too

 I'd be EXCEPTIONALLY happy to get bigger than this, of course.

 8GB drive ..

 well on my mail server I have 2 harddrives, main one and second with backups. I have a php script that backs up '/home' at 12:00 morning and noon.

 newbie:  How about a 40 GB tape... and backup daily...

 http://madpenguins.net/log.php

 MGALUG: well, my biggest is a 4Gb Quantum Bigfoot...

 those were workhorses

 still are

 My next biggest is a 3.4Gb Maxtor, which has performed flawlessly

 I had a 15 maxtor that worked for years until the pins fell out lol

 I thing the more they cram into these things the more likely they will tank

 MGALUG: if they ever get bad sectors, it's time to consider retiring them, but until then, they're pretty good.

 still have a 10 gig maxtor that runs perfectly

 you may want to considder getting seagate drives

 mine got fat bread errors 2weeks prior to tanking

 have a 15 gig maxtor that is still running

 Errr, no thanks. I'he had two that have died - horribly.

 One a U8 (8Gb)

 I usually regard Western DIgital as reliable, but I once had a WD drive fail 2 days out of the static bag.  Worst timing, just migrated data and was booting to back up when, CLUNK!

 I've got multiple 2-10GB drives ...some work ...others have not even tested

 and the other was another U-job, I'm not sure of its size - 2Gb, I think

 from Dumpster

 what happened, what killed them

 Question on another topic:  Has anyone bought the tablet PC from Element Computing???  What did you think??

 I have tons of 500mb western digital and a couple toshibas

 and 3 2gb WD's

 an 8gb WD and a 6gb WD

 One thing I'd LOVE to do is to get a rotating set of CD-RW blanks going...

 lol

 no thanks

 too expensive

--> dale (~dale@72678447.51781-64.st-tel.net) has joined #linuxshow

 However, at the moment, I don't even have a burner...

 too unreliable

 that too

 i wish i could afford a new laptop, i would definetly buy it off of element computing

 cd-rw's go bad faster then they should

 yup

 The reason why the rw is because you buy them once, then you don't have to buy again for at least a hundred burns or so...

 heh yah my laptop is only like 5 or 6 months old

 HPze4325us

 that's quite new

 Someone told me they're rated for at least 10k burns, but I don't know if I believe that until I see one DO it.

 what distro?

 I've been looking into DVD-RWs because CDs are just not up for the job any more.  SIckening when you think about it.

 newbie:  yes... I have not purchased one... but it looks nice.  I'd like a tablet that I can betwork via wireless...

 XP2000+, 40gb hd, 512ram, 15" screen, DVD/CD-RW

 the only laptop i own is a old ibm 560 (133 mhz)

 well I use slackware on my laptop

<-- NZheretic has quit (Quit: Client Exiting)  heh - one dvd-rw would just about do the Maxtor with room to spare.

 actually on everything

 mwg: check the reviews prior to purchase...

<-- dale (~dale@72678447.51781-64.st-tel.net) has left #linuxshow (Leaving)  but right now I wanted to test out morphix and its install

<-- tim-qcy has quit (Remote host closed the connection)  there are some good priced DVD-+RW, but those do have their share of problems

 morphix is cool

 but I'm not liking debian so slackware will go back on my laptop soon

 MGALUG:  The drives or the media?

 both

 let me know what you think about morphix

 morphix is good

 im using the lite version with xfce4

 Video friend of mine swears by TDK discs

 One way around the problem is buy three media, do the same backup job to all three...

 i like xfce4 cause it uses like <=20 megs ram  One concern I have about tablets is performance ... I have a freind that has one that runs Windoze that he does not like the performance.

 I am running Lindows 4.5 (debian) and my laptob and works fine

 says that's what LucasArts uses

 MGALUG: Well, I was given a +RW drive, so I guess I'll concentrate on media.

 TDK is the only way to go

 i allready tried veclinux

 I'm using a Sony DVD+RW

 although they smell ass

* viking667 has tdk CDs here - no idea how well they work yet...

 piece of crap..

 TDK or Toshiba might be better

 TDK's dont peel like some do

 MGALUG: Funny you should mention that...

 Lindows is sok

 it is all in the die

 "dye"?

 never speak of lindows in my presence please :)

 dye

 lindows sucks

 the dye dies if it's not right

 it works

 its like paying for free software

 lol

 So if you overburn a disk does it curl up and dye?  :-)

 Mandrake is very nice ... have full network going at home (here)

 all Mdk 9.2

 Lets face it - when you buy Mandrake or Redhat, you're "paying for free software" ...

 mwg: lol

 yah except base mandrake install makes you look like a honey pot waiting to be accessed

 Mdk here... all download editions

 have cox.net highspeed.

 since charter upgraded my dl speed to 2.4 mbbp, i have been downloadin every linux distro i could find

 Mine too - 9.1

 Actually when you buy Redhat and Mandrake your paying for a "Solution"

 nice for updates

 good site norlug

 after trying and using maybe 50 or more distro's from SOL to peanut, slackware is what I have stuck with

 had Mandrake, RedHat got tired of them

 for customized updates

 for Mandrake

 9.2

 all other distros are too slow

 Or perhaps... when you buy Redhat... your paying and paying for a solution...

 I prefer Mandrake/RedHot purely for RPM.

 and slackware's font's rule

 I'm not a Lindows user, but paying for a good repository service makes sense to me.

 rpm is the devil!!!

 urpmi on MDK rocks!

 :)

 you pay for the easy installs

 yea, but he keeps my system running

 And yes, I like urpmi - it's nearly as good as apt-get

 RedHot?  The distro from hell? :-)

 paid nothing... well, the speed issue

 rpms suck, but, urpmi rocks...go figure

 well everybody starts with redhat, but after 7.3 i couldn't stand it

 got Gentoo

 7.3 was last "good" redhat version

 all the rest were slow

 I gave up on Redhat after 6.0 - transferred to TurboLinux 6 for a while, then someone sent me Mandrake 7.2, I've been hooked ever since.

 ... will finally plop in one of those xtra drives and test it in a Dell 750Mhz

 Gentoo, have not tried it but it does seem great for an enthusiast....

 i think i will use mepis when i go to upgrade my box

 heard it's much faster than Redhat or Mandrake as it compiles for the system it is installed on

 Gentoo you MUST have enough room or a compile (especially for X) else it'll be no good.

 yea

 errr, "room FOR a compile ... "

 The great thing... all these distros are pretty good... just think what it was like 5 or 10 years ago...

 speaking of DVD bruning this is a nice use of embedded linux http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/article/0,,2076_15020036_16603896,00.html

 well when redhat feels slow on an XP1800+, 512ram, ti4200. its time to chunk it

 seven years ago, I was playing with kernel 1.0.9

 was sickening back then, but lots of people did use it

 namaseit: bah.  I work on a Cyrix MII-300 and a K6-II@533MHz

 because it is better than Windose

 newbie: Do u do any development?  I'm wondering about mepis.org and KDE development.

 Basically, the mome memory you can give them, the faster they'll "feel" to a certain point.

 well with AMD hardware so cheap, no reason not to upgrade.

 anything is better than windows

 I can't spell for peanuts, sorry...

 uhmmm - there is when I've GOT no money to upgrade WITH.

 well slackware "feels" tons faster then any other system i've tried

 Can you spell for walnuts?

 What's the story with AMD -- is the Optron really going to be a good desktop system for Linux?

 And no, I can't stroll the streets - already married.

 did anyone here fill out that survey that microsoft was asking linux users to fill out?

 newbie: .....huh?

 there's another opteron thats like half the price, its only got 512 L2 cache but hey im not complaining

 lol

 hell no

 Didn't even register on the radar...

 the article is on osdn.net

 ohhhhhhh.

 but read responses on slashdot

 newbie:yah lol, i said "theres no one feature that could make me switch to windows"

 That's why I didn't see it - I haven't been to osdn for ages.

 survey:  was that for real?

 yea

 yah

 some engineer put it up

 another way to try and spread FUD

 it was not even hosted on a microsoft domain

 from within hell...er...microsoft

 spawn of satan....

 satan is not deserving of that title

 heh - one way to get authoritative SOA records, huh?

 stolen from Unix

 lol

 Come to think of it, I'm SURE I've seen some GPL notice in there somewhere...

 what's that site where Bill gatez is the Antichrist?

 don't know theres too many where he is that

 lol

 sure it

 http://www.microsoft.com

 i wonder if microsoft aint running some hacked up SCO code in their OS

 Got to go... happy holidays all...

 same

 to ya

 same here

 Bye roblnx.

 What scares me is: MS bought a SCO license, right? What if MS fund SCO's defense, or, worse still, BUY sco and pursue the case?

 well im glad nvidia gave us a holiday present hehe :)

 yea

<-- roblnx has quit (Quit: Client Exiting)  running them here too

 Well I would but desktop HD is crapped right now :|

 version 5328

 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3647313623&category=4619

 namaseit: I'm following thread over in kde-devel about how nvidia installer overwrites GLU libraries and fouls things up.  Watch out.

 I know it'd be pretty unlikely, given the "anticompetition" and all that, but ...

 ouch

 hey wait, does the new driver run on 2.6?

 yeouch

 i beleive the reason that microsoft refuses to reveil their source code is because of the hacked (stolen) code they are using

 or do you still have to do minion.de patch?

 Problem seems to be  libGl.so.

 newbie: naw they are just so huge and bloated that they can't and won't change their ways, too many hands in their company

 Actually, someone ought to do a bit of code analysis as to what the MS compilers put out for typical code, match that up against typical asm from other operating systems...

 You'd only pick up the simple stuff, but hey...

 if you made billions off of doing something one way would you change?

 where's that kde-devel site

 MGALUG: irc.kde.org#kde-devel

 10-4

 didn't know they had an irc server, huh

 then again who doesn't

 namaseit: Actually, its freenode.

<-- Bob has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.35 [Mozilla rv:1.5/20031202])  ah

 that sounds like a worthy project, create a open source compiler / viewer just to read the source code for microsofts os

 newbie: yah until they slap the DMCA on you : newbie: uh uh - you'd have to be exceptionally good to unwind asm to C/C++

 plus its not like java

<-- asaone (~root@tamqfl1-ar6-4-62-215-252.tamqfl1.dsl-verizon.net) has left #linuxshow  Not only that, but the EULA epressly prohibits that except in places where it's allowed, which is practically nowhere anyhow.

 oh wait but its just VBScript!!!

 Bullshit.

 :)

 hey you don't know :)

 it could be :)

 naw I know it's not

 i just thought i would suggest that

 So that means that CMD.EXE is just a VBScript Interpreter? HAH!  No WONDER it's so slow!

<-- Eyecon (~matt@jumala.plus.com) has left #linuxshow (Client exiting)  dangit

 has anyone tried the helix client yet?

 Realaudio you mean?

 yes

 yea

 works fine here

 does it work?

 just make sure you put in the Version 9 codecs

 yah it works fine

 do i need to uninstall realplayer 8 before installing it

 not personally fond of real but eh

 nice christmas present too

 it should install in RP8's directory

 see that is a problem, what do you ask for, for the holidays when I have all need from free software?

 but good ide to dump it first

 lol

 good hard drives

<-- viking667 has quit (Ping timeout: 198 seconds)  highspeed internet

 does it matter what kernal & gcc compiler i use to install it?

 got a $50 D-Link gateway for $10 at a garage sale brand new!

 9th... lol

 sweet

 I've ot a 17" Samsung flat screen.  Another freebie from my crazy friend.

 ewps - that was meant to be 2nd monitor

 should be some of those around here with the local Tobacco company going south

 i had dual 21" Sun monitors but sold one for $100 more then I paid for it and bought other stuff

 good yard sales that is

 i find my monitors on the trash & fix them

 newbie: should work on pretty much any 2.4x kernel...

 I want a 23" flat panel hehe :)

 $1200 ?

 ???

 23" flat panel = $$$ ~1000 - 1200?

 no

 i think more lik 2200-3000

 yikes

 could get a widescreen tv for that

 lcd 33"

 startkde: Starting up

 well isn't sony supposed to be coming out with those $1000 big screen flat panel tv's?

 i think it will be a few years before i get a flat pannel

 me too

 would like faster computer

 I don't watch or like tv enough to buy one of those

 same here, mines a 333 mhz

 My only problem is: I don't think I can have a X server on one screen, AND a console on the other VGA card at the same time, can I?

 1Ghz & 700+ MB ram is too slow

 no

 viking667, nope

 viking667, what vid card?

 you could just have extended desktop and open multiple xterm or konsole's

 mgalug 1ghz to slow???

 on the second monitor

 to compile, listen to music Shoutcasted from god know where, scan documents, read email, rip/burn cds - one of those is likely to fail on me

 when you are doing multiple tasks.

 hmmm, I've never had a problem doing more then that on my 1.533

 i can do multiple task on this 333

 and have /home/user for each of my other 3 system hosted on this system...yea

 me too...just slows down for some critical tasks like CD burning

 Two VGA cards - one a ET6000, the other a CyberBlade/i7

--> asaone (~chatzilla@tamqfl1-ar6-4-62-215-252.tamqfl1.dsl-verizon.net) has joined #linuxshow

 i run my cd burning as root, while i do my other task in my normal user mode

 141 procs

 And I don't know how to make them both behave like the same "screen" -

 gimp, kmail, konqueror with 50+ tabs open, noatun, compile kernel, compile mplayer, compile lisad, qtdesigner, kdevelope. I think that is second to the most multitasking i have had going on.

 so far, I have :0.0 and :0.1

 So far I've only had to take care when using the DVD burner.  My burn speed tops out at 10x for CDs, and I'm still working on the software to burn DVDs.  Need more backup.

 me too... but still slows system if doing all the other . kopete

 burn at 40x here

 mwg, what burining software you use

 i get my laptops cd burning of 24x fully

 WIth a 733MHz coppermine I have limits.  :-)

 I use k3b at work for DVD burning

 1ghz is athlon

 mine

 i use gcombust

 namaseit: cdrecord.

 i use k3b

 : cdrecord for isos

 check out this linux embeded pro DVD recorder editer

 you can use k3b for isos

 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/article/0,,2076_15020036_16603896,00.html

 i sometimes use cdrecord

 in fact

 k3b does bin/cue

 yea... but cdrecord is sometimes faster

 for isos

 :-|

 could depend on hard drive and system

 less X overhead

 i suppose

 hdparm optimized 8mb cache drive at 7200rpm

 I want one

 I've had the combination of cdparanoia and cdrecord produce travel copies of CDs that the comnputer cannot tell from the original. (CD lookup works.)

 heh

 and connected at 133mhz bus

 SATA drives are getting cheap now

 finally

 everything is

 nope...scanners have gone up

 in fact i actually have 2 amd XP mobos doing nothing

 only thing I have noticed... aside from MS software

 I could use a cheap 1GB+ USb keyfob.

 I had to get cdrdao 1.1.8-pre2 in order to quit using ide-scsi

 ones a shuttle that I got for $45 and it has usb2, firewire, onboard lan/sound. The works.

 and its a KT400 chipset

 so AGP8x

 as well

 Except for the DVD drive, my burners are SCSI, so I haven't had much of a problem.

 chrisb: What distro u running?  I'm RH9.

 for $45 i had to grab it

 debian unstable

* PhantomsDad looked for an updated cdrdao but couldn't find one for RedHat.

 namaseit where did you get it ... if I might ask?

 newegg.com

 recently?

 like a month or two ago

 : cool

 And it was the highest rated "cheap" board

 PhantomsDad I think I had to grab cdrdao from CVS

 I only buy my stuff from http://www.newegg.com

 I have ordered so much, I literally am friends with the Fed-Ex guy

 http://www.tcwo.com is ok

 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2171

 I bought from there back along time ago, but I found newegg and never gone back to any others

 chrisb: Yea, guess I could do that.  I'd pay a subscription fee for a good, up-to-date repository service.

 plus I *alwasy* get my stuff in 2 days cause its only 1 state away

 most any local big store where I can get rebates...

 tcwo is just a few miles from me so I go pick up from there

 yah

 yeah it sure would make things easier

 slickdeals has good rebates posted...most of the time

 newegg is down in Industry, CA and im in Springfield, OR

 like the 120GB drives for $30 ...worked for a friend of mine last weekend

 same friend loves to buy newegg stuff

 circuit city had 80gb WD's for $40 after mail-in rebate/auto rebate

 thought about it but had no cash

 always need a spare hd around :)

 I have used newegg to get some inkjet  DVD's

 I like the one where some 160GBs were actually packaged 200GB discs... that'd be a nice surprise for $80

 I know some kid who has a terabyte of HD space in his desktop system

 awesome...full of music no doubt

 almost as bad as me

 but he's a windows user so he kinda needs it :)

 lol

 yea

 mostly movies actually

 like every single one you can think of almost

 cool

 I have 2 120gb internal and a 160, and an 80 gb firewire drives

 but I told him to use linux and encode them himself

 does he have any Speedy Gonzoles movies?

 ???

 your friend

 but I use them for film editing and dvd creation

 with TB of space

 don't talk to him much, he's kind of one of those "I know computers" but he doesn't

 crazy

 I've got an Archos I use for that kind of transfer

 20GB

 music mostly... data sometimes

 well i kind of want a 256meg usb-pen to put on a bootable distro and use it as a rescue thing

 why?

 lol

 what is at 160x64?

 asaone: where would you get it at?

 you're all on my twin server at the moment.

 not Circuit $$itty i hope

 err, at least, all these programs are...

 have you seen that new linux distro called "puppy linux" that fits on a usb pen drive? i saw it on distrowatch this morning

 oh yah

 i just had bad experience with them

 Had to resize the twdisplay so it would capture all of my text screen.

 no i didn't see that distro

 sounds interesting, even tho the name sounds retarded

 I can't remember where I saw them, either tigerdirect or cdw

 damnsmall should be able to do that

 it was listed on distrowatch thismorning

 yah damnsmall is nice

 Now I just have to "set" plastic to using utc for itself, instead of localtime.
