[SuSE Linux] An old printer
by maurizio＠adriatico.prisma.rm.cnr.it 04 Dec '98

04 Dec '98

Hi all, I have this old printer IBM Proprinter III (i don't know the english word for a printer which is not inkjet nor laserjet nor bubblejet...) and I would like to use it to print the source of my programs. How can I configure the printer device in order to use it? YaST seems to manage only "more evolute" printers. Any help would be very appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] Unix trounces Windows NT in testing
by fmiller＠lightlink.com 04 Dec '98

The following could have just as easily been Linux than UNIX, which by the way we understand WILL be included next year! Fred ___________________________ Unix trounces Windows NT in testing By Stephen Shankland December 1, 1998, 9:15 p.m. PT <A HREF="http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C29416%2C00.html?sas.mail"><A HREF="http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C29416%2C00.html?sas.mail</A">http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C29416%2C00.html?sas.mail</A</A>> Windows takes a shellacking when stacked up against Unix, according to newly released study. Microsoft's Windows NT finished dead last overall in a comparison with five different versions of the Unix operating system, concluded a market research firm that assessed the latest versions of these operating systems. IBM's AIX version of Unix topped the rankings, followed by Compaq's Digital Unix, Sun Microsystems' Solaris, and Silicon Graphics' Irix. Each of these four operating systems received a "good" rating from D.H. Brown Associates. Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX earned an "OK" rating. But "Even the Enterprise Edition of Windows NT Server 4.0 trails Unix in every area except for PC client support," D.H. Brown said in a statement. The company ranks the major Unix variants and NT each year using a scorecard that judges six factors. Windows NT ranked last in every area except one. "NT still falls short of Unix for advanced Internet protocols and extensions. NT also lags in features for scalability, reliability, availability, serviceability, and system management," the study said. Windows NT earned second place in support for PC clients, losing out to Compaq's Digital Unix. The latter also took top marks in its support for its support of services across a large corporation. IBM's AIX ranked first for system management and support for intranets and the Internet. Big Blue has taken "the most active role of the major operating system vendors" in providing software for electronic commerce, D.H. Brown said. However, AIX tied for fourth place in its score for reliability, availability, and serviceability. Solaris 7's full 64-bit capabilities launched it from last place among Unix systems last year to third place this year, according to D.H. Brown. Solaris won out in scalability, reliability, availability, and serviceability, but was second-to-last in its support for PC clients. Irix too improved overall, with a strong rating for reliability, availability, and serviceability, the study said. HP-UX, however, slipped backwards, in part because of HP's failure to ship promised Java-based system management tools, which are key for managing a computer remotely. D.H. Brown noted that the study doesn't reflect market share or customer satisfaction. "The industry has frequently shown that the best technology does not always win in the marketplace," the study admitted. Companies still can highlight their system's advantages, D.H. Brown said. "The results show that in a brutally competitive industry that relies ever more on commodity technology, it is still possible to differentiate with leading-edge operating system features." -- "Slicker 'n Willie Lube".......and that's doin some! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] SuSE Firewall and Masq
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 04 Dec '98

04 Dec '98

People, I'm getting a little impatient in getting the delivered implementation of Yast/diald/ipmasq/firewall to work. I had a homebrew ip masq working fine. Then I enabled Yast's diald, but it did not work right. Then I read that I should get SuSE Firewall and Ip masq working together. One thing; when I installed the firewall and ipmasq out of 'n', it did not set up the ipmasq and fw rc.config variables. Is this you all's experience? Could someone who has these things working please email their rc.config to me? Greatly appreciated.
