WHY THE BEST NEWS FOR LINUX IS STILL TO COME (Source: LinuxWorld.com) While conspiracy theories are fun, Joe Barr is certain of two things. One is that Linux is going to continue its inexorable march to the desktop. The second is the Microsoft monopoly will not go gentle into that good night. http://www.linuxworld.com/go.cgi?id=742452 -- Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 Pro & KMail 1.5.1 Never forget: At Microsoft, the engineering department are the Ferengi...

Quasar & SuSE 8.2
by Art Fore 30 May '03

I have installed the rpm for Quasar 1.2. When I open the app and type in the admin, it says it cannot connect to the database. I when through the troubleshooting guide, but cannot run the quasard status command. When I try to start with the run level editor, I get a message that it needs route. Installed routed, but that did not help. If anyone has installed it in 8.2, would appreciate some pointers. Art

GARTNER TO USERS: DON'T TAKE SCO SUIT LIGHTLY(OT)

GARTNER TO USERS: DON'T TAKE SCO SUIT LIGHTLY Posted May 23, 2003 12:29 PM Pacific Time MIAMI - Although the merits of The SCO Group's legal claims against Linux are questionable, companies using Linux shouldn't take the matter lightly, according to Gartner. The possibility that SCO will act on its warning that it may sue Linux users is remote, but companies should nonetheless take steps to protect themselves, Gartner analyst George Weiss wrote in a research note Wednesday.

SCO Who's the real villian ?
by Gary Ernst 30 May '03

30 May '03

Consider the following: If SCO prevails, Who stands to gain the most ? If SCO loses and Litigation lasts for years, who stands to gain the most ? SCO sends out 1500 letters questioning the legal liability that Linux may present the end user, who stands to gain the most ? Gary Ernst

Mount, unmount, automount?
by Curtis Rey 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hi all. I have a bit of a dilemna here. After updating my software via YOU I am unable to mount any of the cd devices I have. When I attempt to I get the message the mount: must be superuser to use mount I have the proper permissions for the devices and have tried to set different groups such as disk, users, etc and have (just to see if it made a difference) change the group and permissions for /bin/(u)mount, /usr/X11R6/bin/(u)mount to users and that made it stop and think (aka stall) and then back to no superuser = no mount. I have recently also put in a 16x DVD rom drive. I have been able to mount it since I put it in about a week ago, but I'm not sure if SuSEconfig or something else latched on the the new drive (I put the DVD in the same ide position as the former cdrom) and changed something. Any "help" would be greatly apprecieated. :) Cheers, Curtis.
