"Microsoft is an expert at momentum marketing, so no doubt we'll see Microsoft manufacture some numbers to convince people that Windows 2000 is catching on like wildfire. But Microsoft will have trouble making those numbers jibe with how the vendor community is reacting to Windows 2000. The following says it all: IDG World Expo canceled this fall's Windows 2000 conference for lack of interest. If Windows 2000 is anything like wildfire, it's because the OS is going down in flames." http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/00/08/28/000828oppetreley.xml -- ----/ / _ Fred A.

I haven't got Java support in konqueror working, but then I haven't really tried. I just pointed it at the Sun SDK1.3beta-refresh I have installed but it didn't take any notice when I pointed it at a page with an applet on. There are little glitches all over the place, but none of them are showstoppers as regards what I do, and for me, I've decided they are outweighed by the cool stuff. I just like the feel of the environment, but I don't actually use a great number of KDE *applications* on a regular basis - My main application set for my work & play is: nedit, netscape, xchat, konsole, konqueror (file manager), kap (erstwhile kpm) and lyx. I expect to use kword and killustrator more though. kap has some display glitches. -- Rachel -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hello If think you're confused with aqua. Which is indeed a interface developped by two former MacOS programmers. But it's not intended for Linux, but for MacOS X which is in fact a UNIX operating system (Running the Berkly FreeBSD Kernel). For normal use, the UNIX internals are carefully hidden for the user, but they always remain available. This would make aqua extremly well suited for the mass-consumer market... The stability and performance of UNIX with the user-friendlieness of a Mac. Linux and FreeBSD still work very well for "Power-users".

RE: [SLE] Unattended FTP sessions

Hello again, well, after some trial & success- sessions, this is the way it's done: ftp -n foo.org << EOF user myusername mypasswd <command1> <command2> <commandN> EOF So there's no need for a .netrc file, or at least you don't have to modify it everytime a new ftp server is called. My solution fits our needs and it works pretty fine. Maybe you would also find it usefull. Danke auf jeden Fall! Cheers, Martin [snip] > > Hi Martin, > well I cannot go round not to tell RTFM. have a look into "man ftp". > There is a ".netrc" file in the users $HOME, or rather you're supposed > to create it. > When you do "ftp foo.bar.com", the default user and pw for foo.bar.com > are in that file, thus not requiring authentication anymore. > With that, you can script your download with a simple file: > > myfile= > ---8<--- > binary > cd /pub/linux/whatever > lcd ~/download > get foo.bar.tar.gz > quit > ---8<--- > > ftp < myfile > > will do the work. > > .netrc may look like: > machine ftp.foo.de login juergen.braukmann password xxxxxxx > default login anonymous password juergen.braukmann(a)foo.bar.de > > enjoy! > > Juergen > > PS: .netrc should be set to 600 that *only* you can read it! > > [snip] -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Re: [SLE] [OT] Linux on Sun
by sienix＠flashmail.com 30 Aug '00

30 Aug '00

It' not easy, believe me. I got it in because one of our departments creates software for Solaris, and NT couldn't get in on CD (it downcasts all filenames). First of all, everything here is NT (from desktops to mailservers). Except of course development, databases and security, that's all located on Sun Servers with Sun workstations. Initially, a lot of money was spent on special sofware for an NT box... than even more money was spent trying to use CD writer software on solaris (by another department). I mentioned I could do this on a Linux, and got assigned a very old Pentium 133 machine. After installing it, it became used for several other things, like a webserver, ftp server, security scanner... and it still writes CD's. Now, I'm able to get Linux accepted as a solution, only when NT is not possible at all. Than even with great resistance... Management seems to have the notion that something that is free is automatically bad... They resiste SAMBA (on Linux and Solaris), but are prepared to buy TAS (a commercial SMB server) for Solaris... Go figure... I wish you a great deal of luck, you'll need it, as will I. Kind regards Guy ----------------------------------------------------------- Hi There Guy Can you tell me how to go about persuading so called "in the knowledge" managers that Linux is much better than Winblows. - They all seem to be blinkered in this respect. I am in charge of Internal IT for this company and I would welcome any ideas from anyone on this subject Thanks Paul Ward (IT Manager CityPro International Ltd) paul.ward(a)citypro.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your FREE FlashMail Address now at http://www.flashmail.com It's Free, Easy, & Fun !!! -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Re: [SLE] Fw: Postmaster notify: Data format error (fwd)

Yes, I realise that, but from the transcript, I can see that the problem is not with your server, but the remote MTA (hotmail) It got your message, but was unable to get it to the correct user. The most probable thing is that your server is functioning like it should, and that hotmail is having problems. Just try to send a mail to another address (like sienix(a)flashmail.com) and see if you get the same error. Hope it helps Guy ------------------------------------------------------- Acctually My Linux is only sending email out no received Best Regards, sklim ______________________________________________________ Get Your FREE FlashMail Address now at http://www.flashmail.com It's Free, Easy, & Fun !!! -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hello I noticed that the problem occured on the recieving server of hotmail. Do you have this problem with other domains? like flashmail ? I've heard M$ put some WinC(r)ash2000 boxes in hotmail again (about 1 in 10, the others run FreeBSD). That could very well be the problem...

Mornin' List, Trying to install a program and I am getting this: <snip> checking for KDE... libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /opt/kde/include checking for extra includes... no checking for extra libs... no checking for kde headers installed... yes checking for kde libraries installed... configure: error: your system fails at linking a small KDE application! Check, if your compiler is installed correctly and if you have used the same compiler to compile Qt and kdelibs as you did use now <snip> Locate shows them in /opt/kde/share/doc/HTML/en/kdelibs. Checked with Yast and all libraries are installed as far as I can tell. I've never been real clear on the PATH thing so I could use some help.
