moving from ADSL to HOT (Cable)

I'm thinking of moving from ADSL to HOT (Cable). I wanted to know 2 things:

1 - Since today I have an ADSL router (bought from Bezek), I no longer use 
pptp, NAT or any other Linux tools to connect to the Internet. The router is 
the only "computer" connected and all my Linux boxes (and my kids' Windows) 
connect "automatically". Would this be the case with cable too, or do I have 
to go back to having one computer act as a server for all the internet 
connection on my network (of 5 computers)?

2 - Is cable as reliable as ADSL - speed, disconnects, etc?

Planning a room using Dia/Kivio

Hi,

I'm looking for a Linux software for planning a room. MS Visio does a fine job 
in MS Windows.

Dia & Kivio should be the Visio alternatives, but I couldn't find (neither in 
the software or on the net) shapes for room objects (doors, windows, beds).

Any idea?

[YBA] Logical VS Visual Text Selection


What happened to ivrix.org.il?

Java Swing supports visual caret motion but logical selection. The 
engineering decision for selection was based on technical realities 
(read budget) rather than what was best for the bidi user. The asymmetry 
of the situation never sat well with Brian Beck however. There is a chance 
to change this in JavaFX, if it is perceived as adding significant value. 
Is visual selection implemented in any bidi text editor?

How much of an improvement would it be to implement visual text selection 
in OpenOffice, in JavaFX? Would this be a killer feature to add to Hebrew 
OOo?

Regards,

  - yba

asterisk and Cisco soundstation IP 7000

Hi,

I got here a Polycom soundstation IP 7000 and all my tests to make it
work with our network fails with the message:

Connecting two Linux Desktops simultaneously to the Internet

Hello,

 I have two Linux Desktops at home (both running Fedora Core 9).
 I had connected both Desktop to a simple switch; also the ADSL bezeq
 router (BFOCUS 312+) is connected to the switch.
 One desktop has this ip address on eth0: 10.0.0.1
 and on the second I configured 10.0.0.2 as the ip address on eth0.
 I can ping from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2 (and vice versa).

 When working in this topology,I am able to connect to the Internet
from these both Desktops , in condition that the other one is not
connected to the Internet (namely,  "service network stop" was ran on
the second machine, for example).
However, if one machine is connected to the Internet, and I try
"service network restart" on
the second , I get an error (it cannot start the ppp interface on the machine
where I run "service network restart").

My question is: is there a way to be able to be connected from these
two Desktops simultaneously to the Internet ?

I tried to add a second NIC on one machine, and configure that machine
as a bridge, and set an IP address to that bridge, but than I could
not
connect it to the Internet.

Is there some way to configure a bridge to achieve this goal ?

Regards,
RG

[Haifux Lecture] GIMP tutorial workshop meeting (hosted) by Eli Billauer

Next Monday, October 6th, at 18:30, haifux is about to meet and
hear Eli Billauer's talk about

        GIMP tutorial workshop meeting

GIMP is the most well-known image editing application among Linux
users, and still most of us struggle when attempting to accomplish the
simplest real-life task with it. The application is considered a
Photoshop parallel, even though it doesn't attempt to imitate the
latter. It's a free software project, available at no cost for
GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and many others.

The workshop will consist of no slides, but some simple whiteboard
explanations and a lot of demonstrations. Focus will be given to basic
issues and everyday tasks, and those small pieces of knowledge which
makes GIMP a handy tool. The meeting has an agenda to start with, but
will be conducted in a free manner, so audience's interests may
influence its content to a large extent.

This workshop will be dedicated to layers and layer masks for three
main reasons:

    * Not understanding layers properly is a recipe for a lot of
frustration (usually without knowing that the problem involves layers)
    * Using layers wisely saves a lot of work.
    * Very pretty results are easy to achieve, once the techniques are known.

There are several other subjects ready for future meetings, should the
audience show interest in such.

RedHat 7.3 compatible format

Hi,

I tried formatting a new HD for our existing RedHat 7.3 OS and it complains 
that the ext3 has incompatible ext3 flags, any ideas how to format using 'old 
ext3'?

(I am forced to format this disk inside a Debian OS)

Digikam equivalent for Videos?

Hello,

I've been a happy Digikam user for many years now - managing photos
taken with camera and phone, burning CD's, editing etc.

I now need something which will allow me to do basic manipulation of
videos. I don't expect to do much editing, just something like Digikam
which will allow me to organize videos, maybe add comments and export
onto data CD's/DVD's to send to family.

Can anyone recommend something like this?

Thanks.

slirp chicken and egg problem

Thanks for the suggestions and help, I'm further along, but here's were 
I'm stuck.

If I invoke pptp and connect to it from a windows machine, it makes
a connection and then passes control to pppd. On a regular system
pppd passes back a data stream that windows recongnizes as coming 
from pppd and starts communicating.

In my case, I can't run pppd because it calls the kernel ppp driver and
the kernel does not have it.

So I tried to replace pppd with Slirp. Slirp supports ppp. So I tell
pptpd to invoke slirp instead of pppd, and include ppp in the slirp options
file.

I start up pptp, and it waits. I connect from windows and it starts Slirp.
Slirp displays a message that it's starting and going into ppp mode.

Windows waits for a response from Slirp, as if it were pppd, and Slirp
waits for a response from Windows.

What do I do?

Thanks,

Geoff.

PPP without using a kernel module?

I have a need to set up a VPN to a "virutal sever" which does not support
PPP in the kernel. 

Is there such a thing as a USER SPACE only implementation of ppp?

There is one for SLIP (e.g. SLIRP), but I need ppp.

Thanks,

Geoff.

Firefox chokes on YNET

I have firefox 2.0.0.16 on Mandriva 2008.1 - all packages up-to-date.

When I open YNET, CPU usage jumps to about 150% (AMD dual core - over 70% on 
each core). Closing YNET brings thngs back to normal. Has anyone seen this 
and/or any solutions?

BTW - I should mention that I have way too many FF extensions, but that 
doesn't cause any problems on other sites, so I don't think there's any 
connection.
