After a bit of mucking about, I got my Palm m515 configured on RH8 using
the Handspring USB stuff. Now that this much works, my question is:
how do I configure RH8 to sync my Palm with Evolution? All I find in
the "Pilot/Handspring Tool" are options to "Use conduit settings",

Hi all,
I'm shopping for a quad server for a heavy number-crunching
application. What I need is:
- good floating point performance
- good memory bandwidth (we need/want to move ~6GB around at ~200MB/s)
Although some sort of AlphaServer would probably be a good bet for us,

Yes. It works, although vmware-config.pl had problems rebuilding the
modules it needs. I installed and built a 2.4.3 kernel, and then
vmware-config.pl worked fine, and VMWare is up and running just fine.

Quicky:
I wrote some 4G 4mm tapes (HP SureStore Dat8 4mm) on my Red Hat 6.1 box
using tar, and sent them to a colleague who uses Compaq Tru64 (4.0F) with
a TLZ07 4MM tape drive.
He cant read the tapes. He claims to get tape errors on read. I
suggested issuing a 'setblk -f /dev/rmt0h setblk 0',
To *really* delete data requires *35* passes of overwriting with specific
bit patterns carefully designed with the disk coding schemes in mind.
very frightening! check out

these answers are pretty much right on the money. one thing i would add
is that BeOS is more similar to Windows than it is to Linux (not multiuser
etc). BUT... BeOS appears to be much nicer than windows from a technical
standpoint, and would make a nice windows replacement (assuming Be could

if you want to execute files directly from a CDROM, be sure that you have
it mounted with the 'exec' option. i.e., your fstab entry should have
'exec' in the cdrom mount options, like:

(the other options are my preferences, and are not

So if I were to buy an AIX box, I would get hardware and the AIX kernel
only?
Yes, we've all heard the OS vs. Distrib
I just upgraded from RHL 6.2 to RHL 7 on one of my machines (soon to be
renamed "guinea-pig"). I can no longer mount CD-ROMs:
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cd
Try using VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) - it should allow you
to do just what you want. It's very slick, and it's free, too.

come on, people! look at the rpm man page - you can customize your
listings down to the fine details. i have listed the contents of CD's
full of RPM's many times - i usually use something like:
rpm -q --queryformat "%{name} %{version}-%{release}

i just got a NIS server/client pair running here. installation was fairly
easy, but now that i have to maintain these systems, a couple of questions

step 1: use a newish kernel. the modern kernels support much more than
4G quotas. search /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes for "quota" to see
if your kernel is new enough. the 2.2.5-22 kernel that ships with RH6.0
is good enough, btw.
step 2: upgrade your quota utils. version 1.7x quota u
how about putting

ummm, did out-of-the-box RH6.0 have support for this card? i seem to
remember that support for the TNT came in a later update of XFree86. in
any case, if you apply all the updates for RH6.0 (recommended, btw), you
should have TNT support available. then do what is suggested below, run

according to the man page for the 'dump' included with Red Hat 4.2
(dump-0.3-8):
"The Linux port of dump is not able yet to produce correct multi-volume
backups."
is this really the case? or is it (hopefully) just a matter of the
documentation not keeping up with development?

i have a little problem here. we have a RH4.2 (intel) machine which has

while. recently, we have not been able to NFS mount any of it's exported
directories. check this out:

SORRY!
one of my observations in my previous post was wrong.
my RH5/Intel box CAN mount NFS exports from our 4.2/Intel box.
so it looks like it's just our RH5/Alpha box...
