One Day One GNU/Linux Command (CKSUM)

Bharathi Subramanian — 2008-10-07T05:47:36

One Day One GNU/Linux Command ============================= cksum -- Computes a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) checksum. Summary: `cksum' prints the CRC checksum for each file along with the number of bytes in the file. The CRC algorithm is specified by the POSIX Std. It is not compatible with the BSD or System V `sum' algorithms. Example: $ cksum file -- Prints the Checksum, No of Bytes and filename. $ cksum file1 file2 -- Prints the Checksum, No of Bytes and filename for each file.

Fwd: What you can do for "Lenny"

Praveen A — 2008-10-07T03:05:28

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alexander Reichle-Schmehl debian.org> Date: 2008/10/6 Subject: What you can do for "Lenny" To: debian-devel-announce< at >lists.debian.org Hi! You probably noticed by now, that Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 aka "Lenny" hasn't been released in September. Well, that's a shame, but very easy to explain: Too many release critical bugs[1]. 1: http://bts.turmzimmer.net/graph-large.png Well, our release team coordinated several transitions, took care of release goals, but it's pretty hard to estimate, how fast RC bugs will be fixed, and apparently they were a bit to optimistic :( The big question is: What can you do, to help release "Lenny" at least in this quarter? That's pretty easy: Fix rc-bugs, take care, that the fixed packages are migrated to "Lenny", do upgrade tests, document problems in the release-notes. Pretty simple, isn't it? For users (or better: For everyone) ========= Even as a "simple user" (aren't we all just users?) you may help getting "Lenny" r

Re: Cetralized server for data

Girish Venkatachalam — 2008-10-06T13:40:14

You are looking for a NAS server. I have installed NFS at home and it works exceptionally well though the traffic sometimes is excessive. (NFS v3 is what people use. NFS is very well supported over all UNIXes and linux) You have to go for a much noisier SMB protocol by running Samba on the server in case you have Windoze clients. The advantage that SMB has over NFS is auto discovery. Linux has excellent SMB client capabilities as well. You have to add a mount option in the /etc/fstab file of each of the clients to mount the network file system at boot. Of course you need the NFS client software installed on all linux client boxen. -Girish _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-request-nW3y/O4m2H6nF1JIJmvOGw< at >public.gmane.org with "unsubscribe

Re: [OT] Looking for a laptop

Raja Subramanian — 2008-10-06T08:39:43

A laptop is more than a CPU, RAM, HDD, etc. Ergonomics, battery life, heat/cooling, weight, build quality and durability, keyboard feel, linux friendly hardware, etc. play an important role. Unfortunately, most of these are not found in the specs or data sheets. If you share this perspective, Thinkpads are the best match. IBM/Leonovo website offers a limited range of Thinkpad models, so speak to your local reseller to find all the models that are available. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-request-nW3y/O4m2H6nF1JIJmvOGw< at >public.gmane.org with "unsubscribe

Software Patenting

Praveen A — 2008-10-06T05:22:00

"If formulaic Hindi films were protected by patent laws, we would be able to make only one film," joked Abraham. The system of software patenting wipes out smaller businesses and innovation, he said. "Software, like poetry and literary works, is already protected by copyright. After all, Bill Gates made his fortunes from copyright and not patents. But many software companies are trying to get additional protection." Copyright and patents are both part of intellectual property rights, but copyright restricts the expression of an idea while patents restrict the idea itself, according to Abraham. Under a patenting regime, even before a kid writes one line of code he has to read many patents."

Freedom Walk is progressing

Praveen A — 2008-10-06T02:53:27

"The trek wanders into Pilicode, GHSS. After initial hesitation, the staff is extremely co-operative, and organize and impromptu talk to the students. Anoop and Sooraj speak to the assembly of senior classes, while Prasad fiddles with the printer configurations for the IT< at >school lab printer. Interestingly, the Gnome interface isn't in Malayalam, and the teachers seem to be clueless about how to configure the login session. There seem to be gaps in the support infrastructure for IT< at >School, hopefully this gap will close in, as the scheme matures. Once again, contact information is exchanged, of the Kasargod fsug, and the procession plods on under the fierce heat." http://www.freedomwalk.in/content/18/freedom-walk-day-3-cheruvathur-to-pazhayangadi I hope some of you can join them when they reach Palakkad. I hope to see Free Software User Groups activated in all parts of Kerala by the time they finish the walk. Chennailug can also take a clue from the walk and think about some thing similar.

OpenTV FSF deal is still in the dark.

தியாகராஜன் — 2008-10-05T17:11:05

Friends, I surfed though the net in finding the source code of gcco compiler. While gcco compiler is based on gcc , i learnt that the company (opentv) has obligation to release the source code under GPL norms. There were some queries which were been raised way back in 2002/03 in many forums including slashdot. The were some legal battles between FSF and opentv. Till now no concrete answers for this.That brings to a big question whether this case is pushed beneath the carpets. According to http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/qECCd2x743n32T/The-Legend-of-Linksys.xhtml "In 2002, the FSF engaged in a GPL enforcement action against OpenTV, a San Francisco company that ships a set-top box containing Linux. According to Forbes, OpenTV ended up paying the FSF $65,000. But OpenTV also reportedly complied by making available the requested code, so the purpose of the payment is unclear. The FSF's stated mission is not to demand money damages for GPL violations." any more information on this, please do share. regar

Re: Automatic system shutdown in particular time?.........

Girish Venkatachalam — 2008-10-04T10:47:37

This is very easily done with the at(1) command. For instance if you wish to shutdown at 2:45 am once, then # at 02:45 shutdown -hP now < ...output from at snipped...> # What I showed within <> markers are the key presses that you have to manually do. ;) Now if you wish to do it daily then crontab -e will suit you fine. 4502***/sbin/poweroff of some such line in crontab will do fine.
