Emily- Just adding my 2 cents to the below...the 6.0 version of RedHat came with an install of XWindows that usually failed to run because a file in the X11 folder permissions were set wrong, though it wasn't made clear what the permissions on the file SHOULD be. There were also occasional error

[techtalk] Cisco IOS

Okay, this may not be the best place for this question, but i thought I'd ask. I'm wanting to play around with Cisco IOS, but don't have access to a router and no money to buy one. Is there any product that might allow me to emulate IOS on a PC (that won't cost me as much as buying a router?) ~~

[techtalk] Quick question about Linux/Mac filesharing

2000-11-01 Thread Amy
Most of what I found on the net so far has been vague, I assume I am looking in the wrong place. How easy is it to use a Linux machine as a file server for a Mac network? We have a customer whose server is an NT machine, and has been serving Mac Files successfully to the Mac design network, but

I'm using Debian 2.2 (potato) for my school's webserver right now.   Would there be any benefits in changing the OS to OpenBSD 2.7 (Besides security, of course)?   - Kath

Amy: There are a couple of ways you can do this. The quickest way would probably be to use a package such as NetATalk -- more info on it is available at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/ and there is a Linux Netatalk HOWTO at http://thehamptons.com/anders/netatalk/ . This should meet your ne

The biggest drawback of OpenBSD in my opinion is (as stated in section 1.2 of the OpenBSD FAQ): "Yes, OpenBSD will run on your multiprocessor machine, but it will only use one processor. There currently is no support for SMP". If you aren't using a multiprocessor machine, then OpenBSD is probabl

To expand a bit on this.. openbsd has a MUCH smaller driver base.. before jumping openbsd make sure your network cards and scsi cards are supported (if any). Jumping from Debian to OpenBSD requires a little learning curve since devices/default shells and lots of commands behave diffrently and use
