Coming from a background in sales/marketing (no, not software), the "value added" concept is uppermost im my mind, especially because it is the added value that justifies whatever "premium" is charged for a product or service. In the case of software, that would be documentation and tech support (among other things). > I view the extra cost as a subsidy to > SuSE/RH/etc. that allows them to polish the product for more general > consumption.

As for _general_ consumption, though, I don't think Linux (SuSE's or anyone else's) has a prayer vs MS.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Qps
by satan3＠home.com 28 Jun '98

28 Jun '98

Attention windowmaker users. The app, Qps, which ships with 5.2 (it's a QT top essentially), runs a load meter IN the minimized app icon! While it uses a lot more cpu than top, the hell with it, that is too damn cool. For an example see the screenshot of my current desktop at: <A HREF="http://cx119396-a.blvue1.ne.home.com"><A HREF="http://cx119396-a.blvue1.ne.home.com</A">http://cx119396-a.blvue1.ne.home.com</A</A>> Don't dis me for the web site, I have no experience doing html, this one is just a test so that I get comfy with the tools before I make one I can be proud of. ps man, what could be easier than setting up Apache? too cool. next I try wuftpd - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] dd question

Does anyone know how do you write a file to a tape, spanning across more than 1 tape? Also, how do you read from it? A collegue of mine came over this at work and he was asking me about it. Also, what are the advantages or disadvantages of using cpio versus tar for archiving? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, C. J.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] S.u.S.E. 5.3 --> dmsdos!
by martin_moeller＠technologist.com 28 Jun '98

28 Jun '98

Hello, folks! I have just yesterday installed the dmsdos package that allows you to mount DoubleSpace (1/2), DriveSpace (3) and Stacker (3/4) partitions in Linux and after finally having read the right documentation fist (and consequently reinstalled the kernel half a dozen times ;)) it works beutifully, so I would like to see it integrated into S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 for easier co-exsistance with Win95/98 and other Compressed DOS volumes. It can be found here: <A HREF="ftp://fb9nt.uni-duisburg.de/pub/linux/dmsdos"><A HREF="ftp://fb9nt.uni-duisburg.de/pub/linux/dmsdos</A">ftp://fb9nt.uni-duisburg.de/pub/linux/dmsdos</A</A>> And it would be great if it could come as a precompiled module and applied patch to the kernel. It's not much that needs to be done, and I guess RPM could take care of the patching? Then, an easy setup interface in YaST, and of couse filesystem loopback support on as default would pretty much do it! What do the rest of you think about this? -- Martin Moeller. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Where's Applix?
by hlarons＠mail.comcat.com 27 Jun '98

27 Jun '98

I installed the ApplixWare demo that came with SuSE 5.2 I installed the apxengdm package ("ApplixWare Office 4.3 Demo (English)") with YaST. So, where's the executable? I can't find an ELF binary anywhere in this install. Should I have installed the axdemo package instead? The F2 info windows in YaST on those two aren't very helpful, if one can be executed and the other is "write-only." :-( Help. -- Powered by SuSE Linux 5.2 -- kernel 2.0.33 Communications by Mutt 0.89 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
