Fw: [ILUG-BOM] PCQuest Linux 8.0

Hi, ----- Original Message ----- > Does'nt the installer have a text-installation routine?

I am a Linux novice, used to Win32 so far. Autopartition threw some error messages I couldnt fathom, & disk druid has a maze of options that left me dizzy. I have 4 partitions of which one (F: in windows) is 11Gb on which I wish to install Linux. C: has Win98. Is there a really simple or ready way that I can just select this drive(hda7 or whatever) & install linux & swap partition & stuff on it ? BTW I'm trying out PCQlinux 8.0 Thanks, --Royce.

[HUMOUR] The evil behind Linux
by bagheera1980 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hello everyone, Here is a very funny piece about Linux. Hope u enjoy it. From: Egg Troll (eggtroll(a)yahoo.com) Subject: Is Linux a Machination of Satan? Newsgroups: alt.fan.jesus-christ, comp.os.linux, comp.os.linux.advocacy, alt.religion.christian, talk.atheism Date: 2002-05-18 11:27:46 PST Hello, Recently I've been introduced to an operating system known as Linux. Lured by its low cost, I replaced Windows 98 on my computer with Linux. Unfortunately the more I use it the more I fear that this "Linux" may be an insidious way for the Dark One to gain a stronger foothold here on Earth. I know this may be a shocking claim, but I have evidence to back it up! To begin with, Linux runs numerous background processes. These processes are usettlingly termed "demons." Furthermore in order to start or stop these "demons" a user must execute a command called "finger". By "fingering" a "demon" one excercises an unholy power, much the same way that the Lord of Flies controls his black minions. Also consider some of these other Linux commands: "sleep", "mount", "unzip", "strip" and "touch". All highly suggestive in a sexual nature. I know that our Lord cannot approve of these, and I urge them to be renamed to something appropriate to the Christian community. Third, Linux uses a flavor of DOS known as Bash. Bash is an acronym for "Bourne Again Shell". On the surface this would appear to be supportive of the Lord. However, remember that even Satan can quote the bible for his own purposes! While I believe Linux may be born-again, its obvious by the misspelling of "born" that its not born-again in an Christian church. Will the lies ever cease? Additionally, one of the main people involved with the GNU Free Software Foundation supports contraception and abortion. His web site even advocates government support of contraception. He also wears fake halos, and has quips about his made-up church that relates to his free software. I find such blasphemy to be extremely unsettling. One must also remember that the creator of Linux, a college student named Linux Torvaldis, comes from Finland. I'm sure all the followers of Christ are aware of the heritical nature of the Finnish: from necrophilia to human sacrifice, Finnish culture is awash in sin. I find little reason to believe anything good and holy could arise from this evil land. Finally, let us remember that there is an alternative to using the Satan-powered Linux. I think history has shown us that Microsoft is quite holy. I'm told that its founder, William Gates is a strong supporter of our Lord and I encourage my fellow Christians to buy only his products to help keep the Devil at bay.

Hello Kapil, good-morning. Thanks for calling up yesterday nite. The tentative dates for the gnu-linux workshop are may 10th.

I had not made any change to my hardware. It just worked. As regards, PCQuest Linux 8.0 ... never used it. Btw, installation of Redhat 8.0 also failed on my System. (Check the archives ... for more details ... and the response that I got in return ... thx all for your reply). I have knoppix 3.2 ... will be trying that possibly next weekend, when I have sometime on hand. Try Gentoo or Morphix ... both support NVidia (this again was a response to my mail, I crossed checked this on the net). -Rupessh

regards workshop at iiit-b hubli
by Trevor Warren 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

Hello luggers, good-evening. We are sincerely looking forward towards conducting a workshop at iiit-b hubli for the benefit of 50 students who have taken up gnu-linux projects and need URGENT hand-holding. In addition we have about 7 engineering colleges in and around hubli who would be interested in participating in the same. I am quite taken up with my responsibilities. I would be glad is someone could come forward and help co-ordinate the event. We have to keep in mind that roping in luggers from goa-belgaum-bombay-kolhapur is a priority. Hoping for a positive response from you all.
