Ballmer memo sends Linux stocks soaring(OT)
by Fred A. Miller 06 Jun '03

Ballmer is back to doing what he does best......lie! Those who use Linux OBVIOUSLY have MORE passion and enthusiasm for technology than those who use MickySoft!! Fred "Ballmer wrote in his memo that Microsoft must cope with customers who have "less passion and enthusiasm for technology and greater focus on doing more for less." http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/125354_linuxfolo06.html -- Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 Pro & KMail 1.5.1 Never forget: At Microsoft, the engineering department are the Ferengi...

EU extends Microsoft probe, delays a ruling(OT)
by Fred A. Miller 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

EU extends Microsoft probe, delays a ruling http://infoworld.com/article/03/06/05/HNextend_1.html "The European Commission said Thursday that it is seeking more evidence to strengthen its anti-trust case against Microsoft. The move will delay any final ruling in the five year-long case. The Commission, which is responsible for policing competition in the 15-member European Union, sent a questionnaire to music and movie companies, asking them about how they view the technologies they use to disseminate their material over the internet." The article goes on to say that the Commission fears a rebuke on appeal and the case could be delayed by another year if the Commission decides to restate their objections. -- Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 Pro & KMail 1.5.1 Never forget: At Microsoft, the engineering department are the Ferengi...

Simple network file shring
by michael norman 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

Hi all I am running 8.2. I have two machines connected to a Vigor 2200E router attached to ntl cable modem. I would like to share my home directory and other files with the second machine so I can log in on that machine. I have tried all sorts of configurations of NIS and NFS with yast2 but I cannot get it to work. Should I be using these programmes to do what I want or is there a simpler way ? I don't have much knowlrdge of networking and the more I read the more confused I get. Can someone help with the simplest way to achieve what I want please ? The NICs are both set up using DHCP and the network itself works fine. TIA Mike

Package Sources

Is there some way to have many different package sources? YAST keeps letting me add one when I do a system update. -- I have had my television aerials removed. It's the moral equivalent of a prostate operation. -- Malcolm Muggeridge

Notebook powermanagement

I installed Suse Personal onto my IBM A21m notebook. No APM In the kernel. The Fcn keys for APM functions (screen, sleep, hibernate) have all gone "dark". What are my options at this point? I did not see a APM supported Kernel in the package list... -- I have had my television aerials removed. It's the moral equivalent of a prostate operation. -- Malcolm Muggeridge
