Hey, great idea. Unfortunately, a lot of the Gentoo/MIPS team already have their hands full looking after Linux/MIPS as well as other commitments. However, you're welcome to give it a try. May I suggest raising this on the Gentoo Forums and see what the interest is first. Also, have a look at some of the other threads on porting Gentoo to other architectures such as Solaris/SPARC, IBM OS/2 and Microsoft Services For Unix for hints on how to proceed.

Gentoo/MIPS is a small project within the Gentoo Foundation, responsible for looking after the MIPS port of Gentoo Linux. We currently look after two main sub architectures of the MIPS family specifically: Silicon Graphics systems and MIPS-based Cobalt servers.

Okay, sure, some MIPS machines aren't the fastest boxes on the block these days. However, despite the age of some of these beasts, they still can make very functional, useful machines. A Cobalt Qube 2 could make a very nice broadband Internet router, capable of hosting websites, email, IRC and numerous other tasks. There are a number of reasons why you'd want to install Linux on this sort of hardware. Status Symbol: Linux on x86 is so common these days it's not funny.

I want to do one of the following things: * add a device not in the distributed kernel (third com port, additional disk or tape, line printer driver, etc). * use a patch from the net or the patchkit to fix a kernel bug. * add another swap device. * recompile the kernel to remove extraneous devices so that it takes up less space. * configure more pseudo-terminals to allow for more xterms or network logins.

MIPS Technologies is a company that produce a number of RISC CPU cores which implement the MIPS Instruction Set Architecture. These processors appear in all sorts of hardware ranging from small embedded devices to large servers.

The 1.1 release will be out "soon" as part of IRIX 6.5; this release has some minor improvements and bug fixes over version 1.0.2 (which is currently shipping). We don't have any concrete information yet on the status of Cosmo Player 2.x for IRIX. We've also gotten lots of requests for a Linux player; there are no plans for this in the immediate future, but it may become more of a possibility as we get closer to releasing the IRIX version.

I'm not a Gentoo user so I can't provide a package for Gentoo. However, Mike Kelly has released a Gentoo package for DenyHosts.

Learn how to work with Gentoo: installing software, altering variables, changing Portage behaviour etc. This chapter explains the "simple" steps a user definitely needs to know to maintain the software on his system. USE flags are a very important aspect of Gentoo. In this chapter, you learn to work with USE flags and understand how USE flags interact with your system.

NetBSD is a Unix-like operating system. It is very portable and runs on multiple architectures such as Amiga, Atari, HP300, Mac, Sun3, Sparc, PC, VAX, Mips, Alpha, ... It is developed by people all around the world on the Internet, therefore it's called NetBSD. It has all the features you would expect in a modern Unix, including true (preemtive) multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables and TCP/IP networking.

When the details dialog is open, instead of setting the transparency for the Australia IShape to 0, press the TR button next to it. Set the trend to a Max-to-Min slope using the icon with the slope on it (\) in the trend dialog. This will have the effect described in the tutorial, and further offers a more powerful and general way of setting transparency.

I've connected the USB to Serial adapter but it's on Com Port 5 (or higher) and your software only has Ports 1-4. This issue applies to the c\temp software only. This has been resolved with the new version of the MDAS-Pro software. If you do not have a copy of this software, please contact us.

If you don't have a serial port available but do have a USB port available you can purchase a serial to USB adapter that will look something like the following:

There are a variety of "aftermarket" products that will allow you to add a USB card to your computer. Check with either your computer manufacturer or with one of the manufacturers of USB cards.

External adaptors are available for both desktop and laptop computers which connect to either a USB port or PCMCIA card slot.

The use of port 8080 is largely a relic of our beta deployment on PlanetLab, given that it is a shared test-bed. We hope to switch to using port 80 as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience; in the short-term, if you can't access port 8080 due to a local firewall and still wish to use Coral, try finding an open web proxy running on port 80. For example, Google for the search term "cgiproxy start".

Type /etc/sysinfo in a shell. You should get something like this, which tells us your System ID is 69f35609 What's my lmhostid on Mac OS X? Here's a quick method if you're on Mac OS X.

MIPs are also debt oriented hybrids, managed by single managers. It is difficult to choose a single fund that would consistently remain a top-quartile performer, across time and across market phases. OIGMMFoF is a multi manager solution that separately picks up equity and debt funds and combines them in a manner that aligns with OptiMix's view on the asset allocation to debt and equity. Therefore OIGMMFoF is not the typical MIP, but an improvised version of the same product.

If you are using a 64-bit OS, you need to add the -o32' option for the compiler, or use gcc. With the SGI compiler, you may also need to play with optimization. Some modules may have exhibit problems unless compiled with -O1' or even '-O0'. Script-Fu requires the POSIX-compliant regex functions, which SGI only supports with IRIX 6.2 and later versions. The GNU version of regex should work just fine, though, and is available at:

USB to Serial Support - Use a direct/single USB to serial cable, and stay away from multi-port "hubs". Unplug the serial cable to the weather station when changing PC connections, like from serial jack to USB jack. Power down the weather station before connecting the serial cable.

Yes but you must purchase a USB to Serial converter. We have the IOGEAR USB to Serial Port Adapter Model GUC232A available under RIGblaster Accessories. All of the software was written for serial port control so it will not work directly with a USB port. With the USB to RS232 serial adapter you can add the function of a serial port to a computer that doesn't have one or doesn't have and extra one.

Travelers who do not have the appropriate documents may be delayed while CBP officers attempt to verify their citizenship and identity. They will also be given the informational tear sheet explaining the new procedures. The intent of this transition is to raise awareness of the change, educate travelers, and allow ample time for travelers to obtain the necessary documents.

No. Although the cross compiler can cross-compile a .NET DLL to a Java EE JAR successfully, you will likely need to perform a few source code changes to complete your port successfully.

The OpenSSL upgrade path is difficult. wget with USE=ssl (default) links against libssl. When upgraded, that breaks - which means wget breaks - which means if you don't have the wget source in distfiles, you're stuck.

The Gentoo/Alpha project is responsible for keeping the Gentoo distribution updated and current for the Alpha platform. This primarily includes keywording packages, porting software, and making new releases. The Gentoo/Alpha project aims to provide a usable environment for both desktops and servers.

This chapter contains information on how to get more information on NetBSD. There are several ways to get the desired information. Choose the one which uses the least resources. To do this, simply use the first method described here which is appropriate for you. comp.unix.amiga : Discussions, Questions and anwers about any on Amiga (NetBSD, Linux, Amix, AmiNIX, Minix, etc.). comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.announce: NetBSD-related announcements, all ports.
