       Good that you are getting help from the list, but at the same

top posting. When you top post, it is difficult to read it in a

mail with a link to the guidelines when you joined the list. And there
have been numerous discussions going on with people requesting others
not to top post. So, please stop posting. The correct way of replying
to mails on a mailing list is to use interleaved posting.

If you keep top posting, you will probably lose potential answers
because, I know a lot of people who are put off by top posts. They
just ignore the mail and there the OP loses a reply. Thanks

Dear Friends,

Even though many of you may already know the difference between Free
Software and Open Source software, I would like to clarify further in
simple terms and also share some thoughts as to why this difference is
important.

“Free Software compels the derivatives to be Free Software, whereas Open
Source software relaxes the freedom to restrict the derivatives”

What does this mean?
Open Source projects may give rise to the possibility of stopping
redistribution of its derivatives. This is because Open Source ideology
permits it. In the case of a free software license, there would be no way
to stop the distribution of its derivatives.

Thus, we see that a project that has been created for the community by the
community can be restricted and commercialized in such a way that its

Glad to hear the good news. How is this relevant to be discussed on
ILUGC mailing list? You haven't mentioned if it is in any way related
to Linux or free software. If it is not, it is clearly a bad practice
to post such emails to a mailing list. Imho, even tagging this OT
wouldn't have been acceptable. Kindly avoid sending such emails to the
list.

Before file system gets mounted there is need for some device drivers
and other things (a shell, init application etc). These are stored in
initramfs file. Without that kernel will not have any process to run
(init is process 1, kernel is considered process 0).

Re: Login Page for Mediawiki --need suggestions

vijayaraghavan seshan — 2012-05-24T10:51:31

requirement is simple.

when users click say  abc.com/mediawiki they should be prompted for
authentication after that users will have normal access to mediawiki.


If this can be done through LDAP can you please provide the possiblites.

Your requirement is very vague. If you are talking of authentication,

1 - As the disclaimer says Mediawiki is not built partial page access

The AMD solutions may not fit in the budget (see my other post in this thread)


Wow, I am surprised by their reaction, perhaps this is their tactic to
"squeeze" the maximum out of you.

Have they given you a number that they feel is the "right" price for
this box (HW+SW)?

A suggestion - give the college the hardware spec and let them source
it from the "preferred" vendor and charge your reasonable professional
fee to install the packages.   Make it clear that all hardware
warranty issues - they will have to work out with their vendor.
Power to them if the total cost comes out lower than your quotation.

This is one of the methods I use when a few of my clients play hard
ball with the cost.   Do not undersell your value added effort +
service.

HTH,

The AMD E-350 based boards have SVM virtualisation and support for up
to 8GB are more feature rich compared to the Intel Atom boards (IMO)
but they also cost more; in the Rs. 6500 price range (in Mumbai) about
two months ago.  They may be more now with the current Re/$ exchange
rate.

Initramfs means ... initial file system in random
access memory.

It lets your computer boot before its real
file system is mounted.

To fix the problem, maybe you could search Google
for the specific error message.

I hope that helps,
