Laptop Shopping
by Jim Herrmann 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

So, I'm planning to buy a laptop. I started out by looking at the low end of new ones today at the big box stores, and I thought I would run some questions by all you gurus out there. The lowest end of the laptop market today is so kick ass, maybe it doesn't matter anymore, but here goes. I found several CPU's being used in the lower end. Which one's do you all like for Linux on laptops: AMD Turion 64 Intel Core Duo T2050 AMD Sempron 3400 Obviously the Sempron just being a simple 32 bit processor was quite a bit cheaper, but the 64 bit and dual cores have become pretty price competitive. There was also an AMD Turion Dual Core, and the Intel Core 2Duo, but those were in a higher price bracket. I guess the question is, would you take a 32 bit dual core over a 64 bit single core, and is it even worth 200 bucks to go there over a single core 32 bit processor? Then the other question I would have is did any one go out to the early sales on Friday and get some great deals that they'd be willing to pass on for some cash above what they paid? I'm also not above considering a used laptop, but with the price/performance of the new laptops today, can a used one really compete? Let me just add that I want to do some mobile audio recording, but I'll probably get a USB2 audio card for that. Do you think it will matter what CPU I get for that to work well? Discuss. Thanks, Jim

I would disagree with that statement. Specially when it comes to Linux. nVidia I believe is much better supported in the Linux world.\ Jared >>> Luke-Jr <luke(a)dashjr.org> 11/26/06 11:37 PM >>> You'll want to be careful about WiFi and video chipsets. Not sure on the WiFi, but be sure you don't get an nVidia chipset if you need 3D performance. ATis up to the X850 and Intels should be good, though... _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug(a)kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug

by Dale Beams 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

I am looking for a MapLinx, Microsoft Maps or ESRI Buisness Map Replacement in OSS Software. Is there any such beast out there? On-line services will work as well if they provide the same functionality.

SMB Setup
by Jim Herrmann 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Yesterday I purchased a 250 GB Buffalo NAS LinkStation. It works fine from my Ubuntu box, but from my wife's Mandriva box, I can't get it to be writable by a normal user, only by root. The SMB mount shows up as read only, even though I'm not specifying the read only parameter. The share is owned by root, with a group of root. The Buffalo gives me a limited selection as to what I can specify. It has a built in web server that allows the setup to occur. Here you can create shared folders, and specify if they are Read Only or Writable, and this folder is set to writable, and there are no access restrictions. I figure since my Ubuntu box is working correctly with it, it must be something I'm doing at the mount on the Mandriva box. Any thoughts on what I might have set wrong? Thanks, Jim

RE: MapLinx or ESRI Business Map OSS Replacement
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 20 Nov '06

Well, one solution is don't host the mapping project page on the same server as the BMezine page. I looked because I had no idea what it was. I'm not afraid to see what it is, from home of course, but you should mark it as NSFW and maybe with, ewww, look what they did to the ding-ding. I have to say that is one site that grossed me out and amazed me at the same time. Weird what people who are bored can do to themselves. _____ From: Oren Beck Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 2:44 PM I may be guilty of overestimating the knee jerk potential here. But- playing it from my original premise let's still not let our guard down . "WE" may be able to disconnect easily "best programmer" from NSFW pictures. The masses of mundanes sadly are often less open-minded and OSS gets put at risk. THAT was why I listed the Edison grandstanding. As re-assurance that Fear mongering often fails in dramatic reversa Political alignment aside- the link was cringe making to me for it's potential -if nothing else- to get "net nanny" software associating Linux with "Not child safe" material.
