any editors which have the split window functionality

by Kussh Singh

Are there any editors in Linux which allow the editable window to be split as in Microsoft windows? I have tried gedit and openoffice. Both do not have this ability yet. Kussh -- http://www.mvhlive.com/ windows freeware for designing homes or renovating them sweethome3d.sourceforge.net

Wireless connection problem.

by Rajen M. Parekh

Hi, I am not able to establish wireless connection on my wireless router if I choose "Do not broadcast SSID" setting on the router. I am using Opensuse 11.2 (KDE 4.3.4). Everything works fine if I choose to broadcast SSID, but it doesn't connect if the SSID is not broadcasted. The connection is managed by "NetworkManager". (Just for information, on Windows, by modifying connection settings, one can connect with "Do not broadcast SSID" setting turned on.) On Opensuse+kde-4.3.4, there is no option available with the "KNetworkManager" which allows to make connection when SSID is not broadcasted. I don't know if this is opensuse specific problem, as I haven't tried any other distro for this. From googling I could gather that there is/was such a problem with other Linux distros like Ubuntu too. On a positive note, in a tutorial for wireless connection on linux, there was even this option where one could establish a connection when SSID is not broadcasted. This tutorial was on Fedora. So I guess that this isn't a linux specific problem, but its probably distro specific. Or maybe it could be that I have missed something here. I wonder why I can't find this option with Opensuse 11.2 (KDE - 4.3.4). Have I to install any additional packages? If anybody has any experience in this regard, do let me know. Regards, Rajen.

And I did not have to talk about linux to my kids. Since 199x, had linux as the OS on my machine at home. So daughter and son grew with it. Now both are avid linux users in their active life! U N Gaitonde

linux for legal transcription

by Kenneth Gonsalves

hi, a firm doing legal transcription wants to explore the use of linux. What is needed is: "a Startstop foot pedal system and a Soundcard that enables you to adjust bass and treble on audio files". Any clues as to what this is, can it work on linux and if so what is the cost/recommendations? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/
