[techtalk] network speeds...
Can anyone tell me a network speed benchmark site or utility? I'm curious what would be considered 'normal' transfer rates on a 100 BT network. I'm using analogx's Netstat utility on my win98 box. When transferring from my rhl server I'm getting 6.3 MB per sec, when transferring to the server I get 2.5MB. Is this fast? Slow? etc... And why the massive difference in speed? Also, what does the load average under uptime signify? Thanks!

[techtalk] laptops
Hi, I just joined this list, and so I hope this is an appropriate question to post here - if not let me know! I've decided to buy a laptop which I want to use with linux. (and keep windows on as well, since unfortunately I still would like it for things I can't do with linux). I've been reading the linux for laptops page, but there are so many entries there it is still a difficult decision to work out which one to get. Is it correct that just about any laptop can be made to work with linux, so it doesn't really matter too much which one I get, and I might as well make the decision first, and just check the linux lap top page at the last minute, just to check it won't be an exceptional case where everything is impossible? I have a friend who strongly recommends a Sony Vaio, - he uses Sony Vaio PCG-505TR, with linux, of course, and recommends I get the newer version, Sony Vaio PCG-Z505S. However, I also thought the Toshiba Porteges (any of them) looked from the descriptions on the linux laptops web pages that they would work well with linux. I would like to know if anyone has any additional comments on installing linux on these laptops, especially if you've done it on both; or if you'd particularly recommend something else. This would help me make up my mind faster. Thanks very much! Helena PS. Since this is the first time I've posted to this list... I've used linux for about 2 years, and Unix for about 8 or 9 years, but I'm just a user, and there's a lot more I'd like to learn, which is why I joined the list.

Re: [techtalk] laptops
Helena, I do know that the Sony Vaios can be loaded with Linux without a hitch. I know several people who dual-boot their Vaios in Win98 and Linux (both Debian and RedHat). I also recently purchased a Dell Latitude from their refurbished stock that's a real screamer for the $2200 and runs RedHat 6.2 successfully. If you don't need sound and serial support (just need application support) you might look at Win4Lin (www.trelos.com) as a way to run Windows apps with full commercial support, without having to dual-boot. I won't get into a holy war about the virtues of WINE vs. other solutions, but I personally use Win4Lin so that I can maintain all of my files on my Linux filesystem and have access to them even when I'm not running the Windoze emulator. :) Since it just runs a shell with Win95 or Win98, I don't have to worry about porting individual apps or running them each in their own memory space.

RE: [techtalk] laptops
Helena, I recommend you go with Dell. I have 6 engineers with either Insprion 7500 or 5000 laptops, running dual boot systems, either WinNT or 98 with Red Hat 6.1 or 6.2. Dell computers provides great support and they make available the device drivers necessary for their specific hardware, something that other manufacturers don't do. In these other cases you need to go surf the net to find the proper drivers for either ethernet cards or modems, etc. Not with Dell. You can download them right off their web site. Additionally the hardware is quality #1. I've had only one problem with a display which got replaced the next day. Oh! And the displays are great! 15+ inches! I don't use an external monitor any more.

[techtalk] cgi scripts & html output
hi all - question. i've been pulling my hair out on this one (and essentially given up on it). i'm about a two-week newbie to implementing cgi scripts written in perl. after learning how they reference directories (system vs. url) and setting correct permissions, i'm a happy camper. playing with cgi scripts left and right. found one that has me stuck. it's a message forum script, called DForum. here's the link to the actual script if anyone wants to look at it. http://www.dansteinman.com/dforum/forum i got the script and its admin script working (just go up one level in that url above to get to the main page for the script), so it's configured correctly. here's my problem. the author uses the EOF command to tell the script to output html. (what does EOF stand for, anyway?). according to him (and the other scripts i've played with that use that command), whatever is typed in the EOF section is read as html, so it's all typical html markup. good enough. well. one particular step in the message forum posting process you input your message, then click a "preview" button (form inputs in the html). all fine and dandy, but for some reason, this script omits one entire line of the html, where it would send the input text to the final post output process. on screen, i see everything correctly except where that line would be, it shows "> obviously the end of the line of html that's being omitted. i can't figure out why it's doing it. there's no odd line breaks in the html, and all of the variables seem to be referenced correctly in the script. here's a link to what the problem is if you want to reproduce it. it's a test of a message forum on my techchron.com site: http://jove.prohosting.com/~tchron/dforum/forum.pl pretend like you're going to post a message, and when you get to the "preview" page (where you would click "submit") is where you'll see the odd character. if you view the source, you'll see that the final input for the body of the message is omitted, and only that last tag bit is shown. compare that to the actual script, under the commented heading "prints the preview page", you'll see that it looks to be correctly coded html for a form. i dunno. i've spent over 8 hours trying to figure it out, and it's driving me nuts! i tried to give up but there's already such a huge time investment that i'm irked by it. if there's any programming gurus out there, this is probably a piece of cake. unfortunately i only know enough about perl to make me dangerous. =) thanks all, shelly techchron.com beta 2 - girls are techies too! http://jove.prohosting.com/~tchron come write for us! ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

Re: [techtalk] cgi scripts & html output
Okay, the EOF comes from these statements: print <<"EOF"; html blablahblaah EOF This means print all text from the print statement until the text matchs "EOF" If you are seeing EOF in the html, you need to be sure that the print statement is in place referencing the EOF. If it is, run the script with /path/to/perl -w /path/to/script.pl or /path/to/perl -d /path/to/script.pl If you need to set variables, setenv QUERY_STRING =\&=\& That may not work if you are not using tcsh or csh as your shell.

RE: [techtalk] laptops
I'd speak up for Dell as well -- but with an important note -- get the next business-day on-site servicing. It's worth it! I've a 7500 that's fairly loaded, but it's with me everywhere. It's seen alot of repairs since December. Two keyboards, 2 new ethernet cards @ 1 new dongle (didn't know the card they were selling me was a dongle card...hate those). New power supply (connector at computer became damanged -- possibly pulled in wrong direction -- possibly puppy teeth) New hard disk (Thank goddess I got a 2nd hard disk with a recent image). The old hard disk had particular sectors that failed in the system partition -- so I had the luxury of backing up all the rest of the partitions (Header, Win32, /boot, swap, /tmp, /var, /, /home). I was able to boot off of the 2nd hard disk after modifying it's lilo.conf via some distro-install-CD (dropped to shell) and copy the latest and greatest from all partitions other than "/". Also had the screws in the lid replaced on one side (might have been fatigued from rough handling), The lid hooks are currently broken (because of the lid being askew, they got broken when the lid fell down. I think I've also had a new battery pack (one went mysteriously dead). I also ordered the wizbang docking station which has been replaced once. Some of those were sorta lame, but some are likely due to it being with me everywhere! On a flight across country recently, the ability to throw in 2 power packs gave me a 6hr 40min battery life. I still had over 3 hours left when I touched down in Orlando. I just bought a 3rd in case I was on an international flight (got some business trips coming up, though business class on continental has power outlets). With 3 batteries that's 10 hours. Ok, so it weighs a ton. I do need a custom X-server -- the one Dell provided ran really slow. Also -- another problem, Dell only sold certain configs with Linux. I bought mine before they offered pre-installed, but, for example, last time I looked, you couldn't order the 15.4" 1280x1024 -- I think you could order the 15" 1400x12??. Many apps don't size well for that dot density. Last I looked, they didn't offer the 22.5G HD w/Linux -- just a measily 10G. Memory size was lower, Oh yeah, they also only sold the video card with 4M instead of 8. So if you want the higher powered machine, you'll need to order WIN98 and use partition magic or something similar to resize. Anyway -- that's what I did -- just recently bought an extra 256M ram, bringing it up to 512M. I have the dos partition size down to about 5G and the rest is linux. The extra memory has made VMware run much more nicely -- especially on a "Suspend" operation. I *can* dual boot -- but usually it's Linux up with windows running in VMware. I have Exceed X software in Windows, so I can have Linux windows from "below" in Windows -- Also my linux system is fully available to my Windows system via Samba. CTL-ALT-F7 = Linux desktop, CTL-ALT-F8 = Windows desktop. Windows also runs as a window on the Linux desktop. Choosing the 'Full-Screen' option in VMware gives the F8 desktop. Right now I give Windows 128M. When I want to shut down, I usually suspend Windows to be on the safe side. Suspend/restore usually happens in seconds. But for the most part, I have both up nearly all the time. The only time I need to boot into windows is to watch a DVD or correct a floating point error in Money that hangs Windows in VMware. Right now I am needing to have access to the kernel source and do documenting, so Word up with an X window to the host Linux machine works great. Host is running SuSE with a 2.2.15 kernel (latest PCMCIA release fixes a problem with the card not re-initializing after coming out of sleep). So...overall, I'm pretty happy. I do 90% of my work on my laptop and only when I'm doing constant test-builds of kernels and such do I use another machine (dual processor, faster disk). Oh...two more downsides on this laptop -- price -- it set me back a bit, but I looked at it as an investment in my career. The 2nd -- it weighs a ton (ok, more like 10lbs), even more if you carry around a spare battery (I usually don't). Recharge time is quick -- A full day in sleep mode (saved to memory, not disk) drained battery <5%. Oh a 3rd thing -- the built-in speakers have poor sound. They are squished between the battery on the right and the DVD-floppy combo on the left and the outlets for the sound are on the side -- a good choice for ruggedization (crumbs and dust not dropping in from above where palms rest) but not the best for fidelity -- with external speakers or earphones, it's fine though. Sorry for chatting on...Guess I'm just pretty jazzed about having pretty close to a portable workstation. Even off the net I have enough work to keep me busy for quite a whileoh yeah, like I have a language CD (Paris is one of my speaking sites) -- I copied the CD's as iso's first and using the loopback device mounted them
