I think I remember seeing something about Gentoo supporting the Genesi hardware platform... There is some connection between the two - I think Genesi is a supporter or Gentoo and that they also will be selling PPC boxes with Gentoo pre-installed. All in the name of Open Desktop. -Jared On Tue, 01 Feb 2005 23:04:08 -0500, Webmaster <webmaster(a)atari-users.net> wrote: > A Pegasos is a PPC based system.

A Pegasos is a PPC based system. MorphOS is somewhat of an Amiga OS clone. The Pegasos has had Linux ported to it. But my question for Pete is.. think Genesi (Pegasos company) will be around a year from now? check out http://www.pegasosppc.com fro info on the board. Rob Mahlert Charles R.

I just looked into this further. It seems inotify, in its current form, has little chance of inclusion in mainstream kernels. Al Viro puked all over it, and with good reason. You could use dnotify, but that would mean more caching within the user space app than should be necessary. But, that really isn't the issue here. Sorry, Bill, I don't know what others use to replace xbiff. You could always build and install it yourself, especially since it works for you. -Jeff

Re: [Wlug] PSC1210 and CUPS server

by Chuck Haines

I actually ended up figuring out a way to get it to work. Aparently HP doesn't ship the INF file that is required, they force you to use their stupid setup program, which assumes the printer is locally connected. So since I had the print drivers installed in cups and samba set up for the printers, I was able to install an Adobe Generic Postscript printer and point it to the samba printer. It seems to work fine since the all processing is done on the linux machine. Thanks for everyone's help.
