-
- Whereas most versions of the C-News news software will automatically mail
- postings to the moderator address, it may take some time for this address
- to propagate (and there are many systems out there not supporting this
- automatic mailing feature). Therefore, to ensure that your posting will get
- to us, you should probably mail it to us by hand. Once we receive your article
- and approve it, we will post your article.
-
- NOTE: Your article will not show up in any newsgroups that it may be
- crossposted to (e.g. other than comp.os.linux.announce) until we approve the
- article. The delay should be negligible (we read email all the time), so
- please don't post the same article seperately to other groups. That
- causes multiple copies to be sent around under most setups.
-
- Also, PLEASE crosspost your announcements to both comp.os.linux and
- comp.os.linux.announce! Not everyone will be able to read the announce
- newsgroup (e.g. FidoNet folks), and the point of this group is not to split
- the bandwidth, but to provide a moderated portion of it in another group.
-
- Remember: no announcement is too insignificant for this group. Don't be
- afraid to submit something if you think it isn't important enough; that's
- why we have moderators, to screen the content of the group. I plan to
- approve almost anything (announcement-wise) that's submitted.
-
- The following guidelines should be used when submitting articles:
-
- - I will approve a wide range of articles for this group. The only postings
- that are discouraged are discussions and questions about Linux.
- This group is mainly for:
-
- * Announcements of new software that has been ported to Linux
- (e.g. "DikuMUD v4.2 is now available on sunsite....")
-
- * Announcements of new versions or patchlevels of existing software,
- such as GCC, the kernel, libraries, new versions of utilities and so on.
- (e.g. "Linux v1.0 is finally available...")
-
- * Bug fixes and software patches (or announcements of available patches).
- If you have a fix for a known bug in any Linux software, please post
- the fix and the relevant patch (if any). If the patch is huge, instead
- post an announcement as to where it's available.
- (e.g. "Patch to fix broken 0.98.5 scsi.c....")
-
- * Summaries of responses for individual requests for information. If you
- requested some Linux-related information on c.o.l, and are posting a
- summary of that information, please submit it to c.o.l.a.
- (e.g. "Summary: What's the best VGA card for Xfree86?")
-
- * Just about anything else of any importance. If you're not sure if you
- should post the article to c.o.l.a, submit it anyway. It can't hurt,
- and most of the time your article will be approved anyway.
-
- - When submitting articles, please include valid Newsgroups, Subject,
- Keywords, From, and Date lines in the header. These may either be in
- the mail header itself, or you may simply include the article, header
- and all, in the body of the mail message. Please don't send mail with
- only the body of the article to be posted, as this doesn't include
- the Newsgroups: line and other article-specific information.
-
- - When submitting articles, please use a descriptive Subject line.
- If you crosspost the article to other groups, starting your subject with
- "ANNOUNCEMENT" helps it to stick out in those groups. If you're posting a
- patch or summary, use "SUMMARY" or "PATCH" at the beginning of your
- subject, as "ANNOUNCEMENT" isn't quite appropriate.
-
- - Also, please use a Keywords line in your header, so that articles may
- be searched more easily in the archives (when we have the archives up).
- The Keywords field should contain one or more of the following:
- Type of announcement: new version, patch, urgent, summary, etc.
- Package: kernel, GCC, X, TeX, SLS, jump tables, etc.
- Type of program: A keyword or two on what your program is.
- This is especially important if the program isn't part of
- a well-known package. Ex: editor, tcpip utils, game, etc.
- Version: 0.98.5, jumptables 4.2, etc.
-
- For example, if you're announcing v4.2 of Shoopsort for Linux, you
- might want a subject and keywords that look like this:
- Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Shoopsoft v4.2 now ported to Linux
- Keywords: Shoopsort 4.2, sorting algorithm, new port
-
- Or, if you're announcing a summary on ethernet cards for Linux, you
- could have:
- Subject: SUMMARY: Best ethernet cards for Linux TCP/IP
- Keywords: summary, ethernet, tcpip, cards, hardware
-
- If you have any problems or questions, please contact the moderators at
- linux-announce-request@tc.cornell.edu.

- LINUX INFORMATION SHEET
- by Lars Wirzenius (lars.wirzenius@helsinki.fi),
- earlier versions done by other people
-
-
- 0. About this INFO-SHEET
-
- This INFO-SHEET tries to be a concentrated distillation of the
- necessary information one needs to decide whether Linux is a
- suitable operating system for you. It is kind of an
- advertisment, although hopefully more truthful.
-
- This INFO-SHEET is posted every other week to the
- comp.os.linux newsgroup.
-
- 1. What Is Linux?
-
- Linux is a freely distributable UNIX clone. It is mostly
- compatible with System V and POSIX specifications, but is
- quite compatible with BSD as well.
-
- The Linux kernel has been written from scratch, and therefore
- does not contain any proprietary code, either from AT&T,
- MINIX, or other places--not in the kernel, the compiler, the
- utilities, or the libraries. For this reason it can be made
- available with the complete source code via anonymous FTP.
- (The software that runs under Linux, on the other hand, is
- mostly already existing Unix freeware, with a lot of stuff
- coming from the GNU Project.)
-
- Linux runs only on 386/486 machines with an ISA or EISA bus;
- porting to other architectures is likely to be difficult, as
- the kernel makes extensive use of 386 memory management and
- task primitives (but there are people working on at least an
- Amiga port). MCA is not supported because there is little
- available documentation (especially for poor-hacker -friendly
- prices) about it. (See below for more information on
- hardware.)
-
- Linux is still in beta testing and therefore not really
- considered to be suitable for production work (although it is
- used for that anyway). There are still bugs in the system,
- and since it develops rapidly, new bugs creep up often.
- However, some releases are quite stable, and you can stay with
- those if you don't want to be on the bleeding edge. Some
- sites have been running Linux systems continuously doing real
- work for more than 50 days, without a single reboot, crash, or
- other lock-up!
-
- One thing to be aware of is that Linux is developed using an
- open and distributed model, instead of a closed and
- centralised model like much other software. This means that
- the current development version is always public (with up to a
- week or two's delay) so that anybody can use it. The result
- is that whenever a version with new functionality is released,
- it almost always contains bugs, but it also results in a very
- rapid development so that the bugs are found and corrected
- quickly, sometimes in hours.
-
- (The closed and centralised model means that there is only one
- person or team working on the project, and they only release
- software that they think is working well. Often this leads to
- long intervals between releases, long waiting for bug fixes, and
- slower development. Of course, the latest release of such
- software is often of higher quality.)
-
- As of December 10 the current version is 0.98 patchlevel 6.
-
- 2. Linux Features
-
- * multitasking: several programs running at once
- * multiuser: several users on the same machine at once (and NO
- two-user licenses!)
- * memory protection between processes, so that one program can't
- bring the whole system down
- * core dumps for post-mortem analysis (using a debugger on a
- program after it has crashed)
- * demand loading of executables: only read in those parts of a
- program that are actually used
- * virtual memory using paging (not swapping whole processes) to
- disk, to a separate partition or a file in the filesystem, or
- both, and with a possibility to add more swapping areas at
- runtime (they're still called swapping areas)
- * shared pages among executables with copy-on-write
- * shared libraries (static too, of course)
- * a unified memory pool for user programs and disk cache (so
- that all free memory can be used for caching, and the cache
- can be reduced when running large programs)
- * mostly compatible with POSIX, System V, and BSD at the source
- level
- * all source code is available, including the whole kernel and
- all drivers, the development tools and all user programs;
- also, all of it is freely distributable
- * POSIX job control
- * pseudoterminals (pty's)
- * 387-emulation in the kernel so that programs don't need to
- include math emulation packages
- * support for many national or customized keyboards, and it's
- fairly easy to add new ones
- * runs in protected mode of the 386
- * multiple virtual consoles: several independent login sessions
- through the console, you switch by pressing a hot-key
- combination (not dependent on video hardware)
- * normal and extended Minix filesystems (the extended version
- supports up to 4 TB, filenames up to 255 chars)
- * transparent access to MS-DOS partitions (or OS/2 FAT
- partitions) via a special filesystem: you don't need any
- special commands to use the MS-DOS partition, it looks just
- like a normal Unix filesystem (except for funny restrictions
- on filenames, permissions, and so on)
- * CD-ROM filesystem
- * Xenix filesystem
-
- In addition the following are being worked on (in various states of
- usability):
-
- * networking (TCP/IP, including ftp, telnet, etc)
- * compressed file system
- * Xenix binary compatibility
-
- 3. Hardware Issues
-
- Minimal configuration
-
- The following is probably the smallest possible configuration
- that Linux will work on: 386SX/16, 2 MB RAM, 1.44 MB or 1.2 MB
- floppy, any supported video card (+ keyboards, monitors, and
- so on of course). This should allow you to boot and test
- whether it works at all on the machine, but you won't be able
- to do anything useful.
-
- In order to do something, you will want some hard disk space
- as well, 5 to 10 MB should suffice for a very minimal setup
- (with only the most important commands and perhaps one or two
- small applications installed, like, say, a terminal program).
- This is still very, very limited, and very uncomfortable, as
- it doesn't leave enough room to do just about anything. (It's
- definitely not recommended for anything but testing if things
- work, and of course to be able to brag about small resource
- requirements. :-)
-
- Usable configuration
-
- If you are going to run computationally intensive programs,
- such as gcc, X, and TeX, you will probably want a faster
- processor than a 386SX/16, but even that should suffice if you
- are patient.
-
- In practice, you need at least 4 MB of RAM if you don't use X,
- and 8 MB if you do. Also, if you want to have several users
- at a time, or run several large programs (compilations for
- example) at a time, you may want more than 4 MB of memory. It
- will still work with a smaller amount of memory (should work
- even with 2 MB), but it will use virtual memory and that will
- be so slow it's unusable.
-
- The amount of hard disk you need depends on what software you
- want to install. The normal basic set of Unix utilities,
- shells, and administrative programs should be comfortable in
- less than 10 MB, with a bit of room to spare for user files.
- For a more complete system, the SLS documentation reports that
- a full base system without X fits into 20 MB, and with X into
- 40 MB (this is only binaries). Add the whatever space you
- want to reserve for user files.
-
- Add more memory, more hard disk, a faster processor and other
- stuff depending on your needs, wishes and budget to go beyond
- the merely usable.
-
- Supported hardware
-
- Note: This section is still sketchy. Feedback appreciated.
-
- CPU: Anything that runs 386 protected mode programs (all
- models of 386s and 486s should work; 286s don't work, and
- never will).
-
- Architecture: ISA or EISA bus (you still need an ISA-bus hard
- disk controller, though). MCA (aka PS/2) does not work.
- Local bus should work.
-
- RAM: Theoretically up to 1 GB (but more than 16 MB requires a
- kernel recompilation). (It will work with "too much" memory,
- but it won't use it.)
-
- Data storage: Generic AT drives (IDE, 16 bit HD controllers
- with MFM or RLL), generic XT controllers (8 bit controllers
- with MFM or RLL) need a special driver (not currently part of
- the standard kernel), SCSI hard disks and CD-ROM. Supported
- SCSI cards: Adaptec 1542 (but not 1522), the 1740 in extended
- (not 1542 compatible) mode, Seagate ST-01 and ST-02, Future
- Domain TMC-88x series (or any board based on the TMC950 chip)
- and TMC1660/1680, Ultrastor 14F, and Western Digital wd7000.
- SCSI and QIC-02 tapes.
-
- Video: VGA, EGA, CGA, or Hercules (and compatibles) work in
- text mode. For graphics and X, there is support for (at
- least) EGA, normal VGA, some super-VGA cards (most of the
- cards based on ET3000, ET4000, Paradise, and some Trident
- chipsets), some S3 cards (not Diamond Stealth, because the
- manufacturer won't tell how to program it) and 8514/A. (Linux
- uses the Xfree86 X server, so that determines what cards are
- supported.)
-
- Other hardware: SoundBlaster, AST Fourport cards (with 4 serial
- boards), several flavours of bus mice (Microsoft, Logitech,
- PS/2).
-
- 4. An Incomplete List of Ported Programs and Other Software
-
- Most of the common Unix tools and programs have been ported to
- Linux, including almost all of the GNU stuff and many X
- clients from various sources. Actually, ported is often too
- strong a word, since many programs compile out of the box
- without modifications, or only small modifications (maybe
- being POSIXy and following standards isn't so bad :).
- Unfortunately, there are not very many end-user applications.
- Nevertheless, here is an incomplete list of software that is
- known to work under Linux.
-
- Basic Unix commands: ls, tr, sed, awk and so on (you name it,
- we've probably got it).
-
- Development tools: gcc, gdb, make, bison, flex, perl,
- rcs, cvs, gprof.
-
- Graphical environments: X11R5 (Xfree86), MGR.
-
- Editors: GNU Emacs, MicroEmacs, elvis, joe.
-
- Shells: Bash, zsh, tcsh, rc.
-
- Telecommunication: UUCP, kermit, szrz, minicom, pcomm, xcomm,
- term (runs multiple shells over one modem line).
-
- News and mail: C-news, trn, nn, tin, smail, elm.
-
- Textprocessing: TeX, groff.
-
- Games: Nethack, several Muds.
-
- 5. Getting Linux
-
- Anonymous FTP
-
- At least the following anonymous ftp sites carry Linux. This
- list is taken from the Meta-FAQ list, which is posted every
- week to the comp.os.linux newsgroup (the Meta-FAQ is updated
- more often than this information sheet, so the list below may
- not be the most current one).
-
- textual name numeric addr Linux directory
-
- tsx-11.mit.edu 18.172.1.2 /pub/linux
- sunsite.unc.edu 152.2.22.81 /pub/Linux
- nic.funet.fi 128.214.6.100 /pub/OS/Linux

- wuarchive.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 mirrors/linux
- ftp.win.tue.nl 131.155.70.100 /pub/linux
-
-
- Other methods of obtaining Linux
-
- There are several BBS's that have Linux files. A list of them
- is maintained by Zane Healy; he posts it to the comp.os.linux
- newsgroup around the beginning and middle of the month, please
- see that post for more information.
-
- There is also at least one organization that distributes Linux
- on floppies, for a fee. Contact
-
- Softlanding Software
- 910 Lodge Ave.
- Victoria, B.C., Canada
- V8X-3A8
- (608) 360-0188
-
- The price is US$3.25 per disk ($4.00 Canadian) in 5.25" format
- (add $1/disk for 3.5"). Add GST (7%) and PST/SST as
- applicable, plus $10.00 for S&H (outside North America, add
- $10.00). (Prices may change without notice.) There are 13
- disk in a base system, 21 if you want X.
-
- Also, don't forget about friends and user's groups, who are
- usually glad to let you make a copy.
-
- Getting started
-
- As mentioned at the beginning, Linux is not centrally
- administered. Because of this, there is no "official" release
- that one could point at, and say "That's Linux". Instead,
- there are various "distributions", which are more or less
- complete collections of software configured and packaged so
- that they can be used to install a Linux system. The two most
- important ones are the SLS and MCC releases.
-
- SLS is put together by Peter MacDonald, and is the more
- full-featured one. It contains most of the available
- software, and includes X. MCC is maintained by Owen LeBlanc
- at the Manchester Computing Centre, and has a longer history
- than SLS, but it doesn't contain X, and some other goodies.
- Either one serves as a starter's package.
-
- The first thing you should do is to get and read the list of
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from one of the FTP sites, or
- by using the normal Usenet FAQ archives (e.g.
- pit-manager.mit.edu). This document has plenty of
- instructions on what to do to get started, what files you
- need, and how to solve most of the common problems (during
- installation or otherwise).
-
- 6. Legal Status of Linux
-
- Although Linux is supplied with the complete source code, it
- is copyrighted software, not public domain. However, it is
- available for free under the GNU Public License. See the GPL
- for more information. The programs that run under Linux have
- each their own copyright, although much of it uses the GPL as
- well. All of the software on the FTP site is freely
- distributable (or else it shouldn't be there).
-
- 7. News About Linux
-
- There is a Usenet newsgroup, comp.os.linux, for Linux
- discussion, and also several mailing lists. See the Linux FAQ
- for more information about the mailing lists (you should be able
- to find the FAQ either in the newsgroup or on the FTP sites).
-
- The newsgroup comp.os.linux.announce is a moderated newsgroup
- for announcements about Linux (new programs, bug fixes, etc).
-
- For the current status of the Linux kernel, finger
- torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi.
-
- There is also a more or less weekly "newsletter", Linux News,
- which summarizes the most important announcements and uploads,
- and has occasional other articles as well. Look in
- comp.os.linux for a sample issue.
-
- 8. Future Plans
-
- Work is underway on Linux version 1.0, which will close some
- of the gaps in the present implementation. The major
- functionality shortcomings are advanced interprocess
- communication (semaphores, shared memory), closer
- compatibility with POSIX, and a lot of tweaking.
- Documentation is also sorely missing.
-
- 9. Legalese
-
- Trademarks are owned by their owners. There is no warranty
- about the information in this document.

- WELCOME TO COMP.OS.LINUX.ANNOUNCE!
-
- Comp.os.linux.announce (which has a nifty acronym: "c.o.l.a") is a
- newsgroup for announcements, important information, and software patches
- for the Linux operating system, a free UNIX clone for i386 and i486 based
- machines. This group is a moderated companion to comp.os.linux, which is
- the group for discussions, questions, and general information about Linux.
-
- This group has been created to provide a seperate group in which to crosspost
- important information about Linux, since these postings are often lost in
- the heavy bandwidth of comp.os.linux. In general, postings to c.o.l.a will
- also be posted to comp.os.linux, for those who receive c.o.l over the FidoNet
- gateway and other non-USENET sources.
-
- The moderators for this group are myself (Matt Welsh, mdw@tc.cornell.edu) and
- Lars Wirzenius (wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi). We will be sharing the moderator
- duty, and backing each other up to make sure that postings to this group will
- be approved as soon as possible after they're submitted.
-
- Submissions to this group should be mailed to the address:
- linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu
-
- If you have any problems or questions about c.o.l.a, please send mail to the
- moderators at
- linux-announce-request@tc.cornell.edu
- Or simply mail us directly.
-
- A seperate posting details the guidelines for submitting to this group.
- I plan to approve just about anything that's posted to this group, except for
- questions or discussions about Linux. So, please, post away. :)
-
- Plans are in the works for having this group archived at one or more of
- the Linux FTP sites; more on that later. I also plan to start a mailing
- list channel for those without USENET access (when the linux-activists
- list is going again).

- This is the Meta-FAQ for Linux. It is mainly a list of valuable sources of
- information. Check them out if you want to learn more about Linux, or have
- problems and need help. The Meta-FAQ is posted every Monday. Mail to
- Lars.Wirzenius@helsinki.fi if you have comments about the Meta-FAQ itself.
-
- NOTE: Filenames in this article are for the tsx-11 ftp site (see below for
- full address and more sites). Files are usually located in similar places on
- other sites. The names are relative to the Linux directory on tsx-11.
-
- What is Linux?
- Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system that has been written
- entirely from scratch. It has no proprietary code in it. Linux is freely
- distributable under the GNU Public License. It only works on IBM PC
- compatibles with an ISA or EISA bus and a 386 or compatible. See the FAQ
- for more exact hardware requirements. The Linux kernel is written by Linus
- Torvalds (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi) from Finland. Most of the programs
- running under Linux are generic Unix freeware, much of it comes from GNU.
-
- The Linux FAQ
- A collection of common problems and their solutions. Answers many
- questions faster than the net. Stored on many Linux ftp sites
- (docs/FAQ) and pit-manager.mit.edu, the general archive site for
- all FAQs. The latest version was posted 1992-11-25.
-
- Linux newsgroups
- There are two Usenet newsgroups for Linux: comp.os.linux, and
- comp.os.linux.announce. The latter contains important stuff like
- announcements of new programs or versions, the former all the discussion.
- It is a good idea to follow at least c.o.l.a, if you use Linux.
