NetBSD is the best of the three because of it's superb error handling capabilities (this is the "Net" referred to in the name). With NetBSD, it's almost impossible to make a mistake, either in installation, or operation, because the system will "catch" you as you "fall". NetBSD works on a wide range of processors, including the Intel 386, 486, and 586, the Sun, Sparc, SGI, MIPS, Macintosh, Motorola 6809, Krupf, ADC Kentrox, Whirlpool, Amana, Zilog Z80, Timex-Sinclair, and the Braun.

i currently have an xbox with an xecuter 3.0 ce mod chip installed and would like to install linux so i can go on the web with it. but i also use live on a daily basis. i have a 160gb hdd in it also. i want to install linux and also be able to use xbox live not both at the same time but be able to boot linux freely then turn the mod hip oiff and run xbox live how do i do this this thanx If you have a 160 gb hd in there you also will have a lot of files in the f: partition.

Download the Linux folding console (FAHxConsole, where x is the version number) and cd to the directory. of Version 3.24, all you have to do from here is specify the "-freeBSD" flag when you run the client, FAHxConsole -freeBSD and it will automatically brand the scientific cores it downloads. For clients prior 3.24, the -freeBSD flag is not supported and you have to do the following:

Address space randomization places large chunks of memory (obtained via mmap / VirtualAlloc) at different places in memory, but leaves unchanged the relative position of heap objects. Linux adds some checks for particular memory management errors (and then aborts the program). Long technical answer: OpenBSD (a variant of PHKmalloc) does some of what DieHard's allocator does, but DieHard does much more.

The new FreeBSD Ports System now includes the Linux AIM client. The port is called 'aim' and is found in the 'net' category. For those users who still run the old BSD, some users reported they can run it with the following conditions: The files inux files libgdk-1.2.so.0 and libgtk-1.2.so.0 must be placed in the /compat/linux/lib directory.

CD bootable means that OpenBSD will boot directly from the CD. The CD set will boot on several hardware platforms. See chapter 3 of this FAQ for details of obtaining OpenBSD on CD. pmax - removed after the 2.7 release People sometimes ask why we support so many "odd" machines. The short answer is, "because we want to". If enough skilled people (sometimes, "enough" is only one really skilled person!) wish to maintain support for a platform, it will be supported.

Linux contains a highly advanced DOS emulator. It will run almost any 16 or 32 bit DOS application. It runs a great number of 32 bit DOS games as well. The DOS emulator package for Linux is called dosemu. It will typically run applications much faster than normal DOS because of Linux's faster file system access and system calls.

There are commercial emulators that will run a virtual 386 machine under Linux. This enables mostly flawless running of Win95/98/00 under Linux if you really have to and at a large performance penalty. You still have to buy Win95 though and your Win95 applications will not be able to directly communicate with your Linux applications.

Yes, although most software is not yet compiled for Linux. In future, all software will be compiled and available for download for PC/Linux instead of Sun/Solaris. S: Compiling the C codes is easier in Linux than in Windows. No modification of source codes or makefiles is necessary. Please see the instructions for SW development in TPC. Inside Turku PET Centre, the PC/Linux executables are located in /pet-storage/petsoftware/bin/linux/

In general the answer to this question is no. There are however two ways that you might be able to get them running. There's a commercial package called VMware which allows you to run Windows under Linux. It emulates the hardware environment expected by Windows so you can run an actual copy of Windows and thus almost all Windows programs. The WINE package (WINE stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator) emulates the Windows program environment allowing some Windows programs to run under Linux.

WINE, a MS Windows emulator for Linux, is still not ready for general distribution. If you want to contribute to its development, look for the status reports in the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine newsgroup. There is also a FAQ, compiled by P. David Gardner, at ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/faqs/Wine-FAQ/. In the meantime, if you need to run MS Windows programs, the best bet—seriously—is to reboot.

Server hangs, or fails to start, and/or error log fills with "fcntl: F_SETLKW: No record locks available" or similar messages I upgraded from an Apache version earlier than 1.2.0 and suddenly I have problems with Apache dying randomly or not restarting properly On a SuSE Linux system, I try and configure access control using basic authentication. Although I follow the example exactly, authentication fails, and an error message "admin: not a valid FDN: ...." is logged.

this time, we only distribute Linux drivers and there are currently no plans to support other operating systems. Wow, this is what I call customer service. I unziped the drivers, uploaded them with the configuration web interface and my 5410 sprang to life filling the air with 2.4GHz/100MBps of networking nirvana. I have just plunked down my credit card and purchased a license for your driverloader product. Thanks,

You should use it because it is a BSD! Aside from that reason, here are a few helpful pointers that can help with making that decision. If it ain't broke, don't fix it": If you already use an open source operating system, and you are happy with it, there is probably no good reason to change. BSD systems, in particular FreeBSD, can have notably higher performance than Linux. But this is not across the board. In many cases, there is little or no difference in performance.

If you have FreeBSD and Linux on the same disk, just follow LILO's installation instructions for booting a non-Linux operating system. Very briefly, these are: Boot Linux, and add the following lines to /etc/lilo.conf: other=/dev/hda2 table=/dev/hda label=FreeBSD the above assumes that your FreeBSD slice is known to Linux as /dev/hda2; tailor to suit your setup). Then, run lilo as root and you should be done. If FreeBSD resides on another disk, you need to add loader=/boot/chain.

Briefly, FreeBSD is a UNIX® like operating system for the i386™, IA-64, PC-98, Alpha/AXP, and UltraSPARC® platforms based on U.C. Berkeley's ''4.4BSD-Lite'' release, with some ''4.4BSD-Lite2'' enhancements. It is also based indirectly on William Jolitz's port of U.C. Berkeley's ''Net/2'' to the i386, known as ''386BSD'', though very little of the 386BSD code remains. A fuller description of what FreeBSD is and how it can work for you may be found on the FreeBSD home page.

WINE, a MS Windows emulator for Linux, is still not ready for general distribution. If you want to contribute to its development, look for the status reports in the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine newsgroup. A commercial, working product known as WABI is said to provide full MS Windows emulation under Linux. It was written by Sunsoft, Inc. The Linux version is available from Caldera. In the meantime, if you need to run MS Windows programs, the best bet--seriously--is to reboot.
