Hi,
I downloaded the dforum script and tried it myself, too. Like Sean
mentioned, the preview looked fine to me.
When I looked the html source of the preview screen, I saw the following
tag in the tag.
If you are talking about the last line (">), this is a part of the
tag. It is trying to pass everything including newlines.
If not, I would wonder if you have added something to the original
forum.pl.
Hope this help

Re: [techtalk] laptops
Thanks very much for all the comments, they are very useful. I am looking into getting a Dell now, maybe a Latitude. I may try getting a refurbished one; though I had a friend who got a refurbished laptop (not a dell though) and had lots of trouble with it, so I hope it's not too risky. I will probably have to get it shipped from UK, since I don't know where any Dell dealers are locally to Copenhagen (where I am now) - so maybe that makes it more risky to get a refurbished one, as sending off for repairs is more trouble.

RE: [techtalk] laptops
I work for Prima Publishing. If you can wait a month, Prima has a Linux for the Laptop book coming out. It's written by an excellent author - Bill Ball - who has written numerous Linux books. It should be available toward the end of June. He's been using Linux on a laptop for more than 4 years and has about 12 or so currently running various distributions of linux including an iBook. Even if you can't wait that long to buy a laptop, I'd recommend the book because it'll help you with any bumps you encounter. It also has unique content - MP3s, Web Cam stuff, wireless networking. It's being tech edited by the lead technician at Tuxtops.

Dell does not have retail dealers. Dell machines are not sold in stores like CompUsa either. Dell is a mail-order retailer. If you want a Dell you need to either order it through their web site (www.dell.com) or call them and order one on the phone (800) 879-3355. I usually look up what I want on the web site and then call in the order, that way I get exactly what I want, because sometimes the web site allows you to pick only certain options for a system, and you can get any questions answered on the spot. Again, Dell has excellent tech support. The people they have on the other side of the line actually know and understand what they are talking about, unlike other support companies. You will be pleased with a Dell. Samantha ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
[techtalk] dual graphics cards and X on linux?
does anyone know how (if?) I can put 2 graphics cards in a linux machine and have 2 X displays?

As far as two video cards, i have not seen this supported at all in any X server. I think the main problem has to do with the specific IRQ/IO that memory cards use, and two cards would end up clobbering each other.. (this is probably wrong, YMMV) Good luck! and let me know if you do get it working with anything other than a G400. -- .oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.oO()Oo.

Hey there, my name is Melanie, and I run the Kitchener-Waterloo chapter. I'm also a volunteer writer for linux.com/jobs. I do interviews of ppl. who have jobs using linux. I'd like to find some women out there who use linux for their jobs too!

Re: [techtalk] network speeds...
There are other factors to consider in doing a network speed benchmark, not just the card itself. It depends also on the connection to the network, whether you are using a hub or a router. Now as I recall, if you're using hubs, the lower transfer rates could be interference from other concurrent use on the network. In using a router, it's different. I could transfer 10GB from one computer to another in less then 15 minutes using a router and 100T configuration. I'm not sure what the transfer rate was exactly but I think it was pretty fast. For the software, are you using Windows or Linux? In other words, what OS do you need the net statistics software to run on? Beverly > Can anyone tell me a network speed benchmark > site or utility?

Re: [techtalk] dual graphics cards and X on linux?
Yes it's supported but the problem is that the window managers haven't implemented it into their code yet. Of course, I haven't looked into the multi-monitor problem in two months and things could be different now. I think I'll look into it again. Beverly > does anyone know how (if?)

I have software for windows already, though it's nice, it's rather simple. I would much prefer to have something for my (linux) server, which would allow me to monitor speeds to different computers as opposed to installing something on each box... I have a 10/100 8 port switch and 100 24 port hub. Currently, I'm running everything out of the 24 port hub, thinking that things will be faster on the same hub than if I have to patch the hub to the switch. Does this make sense or is a switch really that much better that it'll make up for any loss? Also, 10 gb per 15 minutes calculates to c. 11 MB/sec if I'm not mistaken (which I probably am :-) which is like double the speed of my current setup. So, is my config messed up, my hardware cheaper, or just the hub vs. switch issue? *Sigh* Sorry I'm such a newbie at all this!
