worst linux distro - is called lindows 2003 (cygwin + windows)
If you wonder why cron isn't working here are some workarounds


"On NT and Windows 2000 the SYSTEM user has these privileges and can run services such as sshd. However, on Windows 2003 SYSTEM lacks the Create a token object right, so it is necessary to create a special user with all the necessary rights, as well as Logon as a service, to run such services. For security reasons this user should be denied the rights to logon interactively or over the network. All this is done by configuration scripts such as ssh-host-config"

When working with networks, it is always best to pretend that human beings were given either 8 or 16 fingers rather than 10. Then you would be thinking of "IP addresses between 192.168.1.128 and 192.168.1.159"

which would be:

Need more than 4GB of ram? - do it compile your debian kernel

If you need support for more than 4GB of ram in your kernel, then you have to compile your own kernel, or get someone else to do it for you.

Googling i found about linux memory model (described in kerneltrap.org)
http://kerneltrap.org/node/2450

UPDATE :i installed kernel 2.6.10 and it have support for big MEMORY the only drawback is : there is no sound on my box now ... Oh well going back to 2.6.9

Building Mono on Windows

In this article I will walk you through the three phases required to build Mono on Windows without using the .NET framework.

http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2005/02/07/monowindows.html

You requested 32 Unbuntu CDs. They will be shipped the following address:

Marius Popa
Reea s.r.l
T. Vladimirescu 61 / 6
Targu-Mures Mures
510014
Romania

Well now all reea firm will upgrade to linux :-)

ps: here is how i did it

Will you really ship CDs free of charge, and where can I get one?

If you cannot download CDs, or would simply like more attractive pressed CDs, we can send you pressed copies of the Install and Live CDs free of charge.

You may request CDs in Shipit - the Ubuntu CD Distribution System.

We should care to be first - that is the target no more no less:

"first/best open source database" also we should be better than
proprietary databases too :)

If you target to be lower than that you can't win , yes i'm dreaming
about "world domination" ;) inspired by linux one

"Alessandro: Bruce Perens claims "world domination: 2003"; is that
realistic? In your opinion, will the concept of free software gain
polularity in the mass market? In this respect, what's your opinion
about the move of Netscape Corp.?

Linus: The "World Domination" thing is obviously always a bit
tongue-in-cheek, but I think that yes, a five-year timeframe for the
free software movement and Linux to make a major noticeable impact is
not at all unrealistic. The Netscape open source thing is one of the
first indications of this, and I think we'll see others doing similar
things."

How to compile java programs with SableVM

Q: How to compile java programs with SableVM?

A0: SableVM is a Java Virtual machine, not a compiler...

A1: Under Debian there's a "jikes-sablevm" equivalent of "javac"

command, so you can simply do: $ jikes-sablevm HelloWorld.java

to get your HelloWorld.class file.

A2: In absence of "jikes-sablevm" one should do:

$ export BOOTCLASSPATH=/path/to/sablevm's/libclasspath.jar

and then use jikes directly:

$ jikes HelloWorld.java

A3: IIRC the latest sablevm-svn gentoo packages include JAVA_HOME-like

directory, in /usr/lib/sablevm, so once this package is installed

you can use programs in /usr/lib/sablevm/bin just as in Sun's JDK.

Q: How do I run java programs with SableVM?

A1: The simplest way is to use 'java-sablevm' command which is

parameter-compatible with Sun's 'java' command.

A2: In our SableVM's JAVA_HOME (once you have installed a SableVM

version/package that provides it) you have 'bin/java' command you can

use as in Sun's JDK.

I wish I could give you some URLs, but ATM my inet connection breaks

every few seconds and I'll be lucky if I manage to simply send this

email. I hope others can provide more details and/or corrections.

Hope this helps,

Grzegorz B. Prokopski

Use firebird not access on server !

Had some problems with a windows server

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot open database '(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

I tested to see if the problem was from odbc (was not there ) then restarted the webserver ) - it seems was an exclusive lock problem (access "database" was not corrupt)

Long term solution:

database should be moved from access to real multi-threaded sql database (firebird) it have full odbc support and more scalable

http://www.dotnetfirebird.org/blog/2005/01/firebird-and-microsoft-jet-feature.html

Steps i have done to migrate from access to firebird

1.Downloaded access to firebird migration tool from this address
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=sql2gdb

2.Downloaded and installed Firebird super server from sourceforge
project page
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/firebird/Firebird-1.5.2.4731-Win32.exe?use_mirror=unc

3. The conversion wizzard was run and data copied from access to
firebird (using the odbc connection) also installed odbc driver for firebird server (needed for asp)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/firebird/Firebird_ODBC_1.2.0.69-Win32.exe

4. Downloaded flamerobin tool for database administration and to see if
all was imported ok (auto incremental fields , tables , data)

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flamerobin/flamerobin-0.2.0-setup.exe?download

5. Testing appliacation with new database created [work in progress]

Becoming a Debian developer

First you need to read Debian philosophy :) oh well is like steps becoming a monk or something

"However, before candidates are trusted with such tasks, they have to prove not only their programming skills, but also their understanding of Debian processes and philosophy. The process takes months, and there are few exceptions."

http://programming.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/01/28/1618201

Update: it seems that debian Philosophy is hard to digest even Ian the half of Deb-Ian is waiting in "Philosophy room":

"Others worry about the time the process takes. To prove the point, Ian Murdock, the founder of Debian, whose first name forms the second half of the distribution's name, declined an offer to be accepted immediately as a Debian Developer. Instead, he began the process in May 2004. He is still waiting to advance to the Philosophy and Procedures stage"

How To - Install Ubuntu on the Qemu emulator

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/installation-qemu

Fedora [mess] r us

"When Fedora Legacy is working well, it is a highly useful service. With a simple tweak to a yum configuration file, it is possible to keep an older system current with almost no effort.Unfortunately, the last update to Fedora Core 1 came out on December 3, 2004. Any Fedora Core 1 systems which rely upon Fedora Legacy for updates are currently vulnerable to holes in the kernel, xpdf, vim, KDE, PHP, sudo, etc. The process, it would seem, has come to a complete stop for over a month. We attempted to ask (via the posted contact address) what was going on, but got no response."

distributed version control - in the works by Martin

from planet.gnome.org

"Coders of the world rejoice, for Martin Pool is building a distributed revision control system:

I am not working directly on Ubuntu, but rather on improving the tools used by open source developers inside and outside of Canonical. The charter is to build a distributed version-control system that open-source hackers will love to use.

Knowing Martin, this will have the usability of Subversion and Darcs, the algorithms of Arch, and the pure leetness of rsync. Beware, other RCS authors: your days are numbered!"
