Sure; that's why they call it the "Religious Right" here in the U.S...

compatability question

2004-03-30 Thread Geneva Kesselring



To:  Debian Project,
 
I am setting up a server for counter-strike and i 
was wondering if this "debian" version is compatable with it. Most linux servers 
i see running counter-strike are redhat users. and also can i buy it on an 
install disk. Thanks for your time.
 


Apple Performa 6200 runs debian , HCL on penguinppc has erroneus information on it.

Apple Performa 6200 runs debian , HCL on penguinppc has erroneus  information 
on it. 
The Debian ppc page refers to the penguinppc page regarding hardware  
compatibility.

I send penguinppc an email, but the message was rejected. 
I hope that my findings are of any use to you.

I just wonder why this machine is regarded unsupported.

Is it because of the kernel Patches which are regarded inofficial ?!

Well, still I have no X11 running, maybe thats the point.

Performa/PowerMac 5200/5300/6200/6300 family support

As of July 31, 2000, the PowerMac 5200/5300/6200/6300 family of computers, and 
their Performa equivalents, are officially supported in MkLinux. Please NOTE 
that only the 6214 has been tested, so there may be some small snags in some of 
the others.

CAVEATS:

* Sound is not supported yet. That's the next priority
* SCSI is working, but rather slow. It's partially hardware at fault, and 
partially a lack of pseudo-DMA code. Oh well. It "mostly works." As always, 
your mileage may vary.
* Serial is untested. It should work, but again, YMMV. 

You can download the kernel from 
ftp://ftp.mklinux.org/pub/kernels/wip/Mach_Kernel.PERFORMA.gz The README file 
is here, in the same directory.

if you are refering to the actual version, yes it is.

most computer shipped are windows preinstalled, and alot use
it because they don't even know debian exists.

yes you can, http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors

No, any number of DDs voted for 'No further discussion' on debian lists 
through people, that fail to understand (and so possibly unknowingly, 
lie) that 'not DFSG free' does not mean bad and that the same DDs voted

I think it should be Free Software plus whatever makes it a
complete, working system, regardless of whether it's DFSG free software.
I think it should be Free Software plus whatever is convenient for
Debian's users, regardless of whether it's DFSG free software.

A majority of DDs voted for respect, respect of minorities

becoming a real PITA.

In all respect, *please*. *stop*. senseless. seperating. by. trolling.
