Yes, a lot. In slackware, they're in the bsdgames package. Your distro

Besides, its really not worthwhile to use more than two times your physical 
ram in swap (except in a select few situations). The performance of the system

I know there was a discussion on this list or blinux about usable chess so 
you could search both archives if you're interested. It seemed to me like 
gnuchess was used by some people, and I think there's a chess that works 
with emacs/emacspeak too, but I don't remember all the details.

RE: Linux and data storage?

[Hart Larry]

I agree with Karen, these last 30 hours on Shellworld should be a wakeup call 
for all of us.  While we have our files-and-data back again, I should really 
consider eventually handling pine and all the features of a shell right here 
locally.  I suppose however, if I were running some mail server software, I 
would almost never be able to boot the machine in to windows to run openbook, 
as the mail server would not be collecting incoming messages?
Back in January, when I left CTS, another shell provider, I tried downloading 
everything, but I may not have it all.  I was thinking earlier that I was going 
to have to move items around.  Last night we tried logging in to cts, but I 
think they are gone?

Re: Linux and data storage?

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi Karen, Larry, et al,

	To answer your original question, Karen, if you get your linux machine up and running you can use 'rsync' to transfer selective file/directory/sub-directoies to/from the shell account to your linux box. That is, if the shellworld machine has 'rsync' available.

	For your question Larry, if you want to dual boot between  Linux and another OS you can do that easily using one of the boot managers (lilo or grub). If you are worried about losing mail while in the other OS, just let your ISP spool the mail while you are not up in Linux. You can do that by using a pop retrieval program like 'fetchmail' to retrieve mail periodically from your isp, or just put a '.forward' file in the home directory of your shell account to push mail to your mta (exim or whichever you like). You then just rename the .forward file to something else while booted to the other os on your local machine. Mail then waits in your mailbox on the ISP until you enable forwarding again.

	There are just so many ways to do things in Linux! As others have mentioned, ftp, local redundancy, various backup methods, etc. It is very much worth the effort to move to Linux... <grin>

	HTH,

	--terry

Re: Linux and data storage?

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi Karen,

	Well, if you have a machine running DOS now, you have a machine that almost certainly would run Linux. The only two criteria that I can think of are 1) sufficient disk space to dual boot between Linux and your current OS and 2) a hardware synth that works with speakup.. For several years I ran Linux and Windows on one machine, booting Windows less and less often until recently I got rid of Windows on that machine altogether. Yes I do have another machine with Windows on it now but I didn't have a second machine for several years.

	You did say that you don't have the time to set up Linux. I understand that. It does take time to setup/learn. But you don't have to abandon your other os while you  do it. The time spent to learn to install/configure/manage your linux system is time that will pay rich dividends in the long run. On the other hand if you have someone else install/configure for you you still won't know how it works to be able to manage the system on a day-to-day basis.

	I guess it depends on what yu want. If you want to use the power of Linux, you need to know how it works to some degree at least. You really learn that by doing your own installation and configuration.

	If you or anyone wants to install linux on any system for personal use,  my suggestion  is to do the homework first, reading about the options available, methods of installation for your chosen linux distribution, etc. When you feel that you understand what you have to do, then go for it. the actual installation should easily be completed in an evening, after which you should still have your other os available if you want it.

	As I said above though, it depends on what you want... If you really want Linux that is the best way to go. If it's too much bother for you, then probably it's not worth your time and just carry on with what you have already.

	HTH,

	--terry

Re: Linux and data storage?

[Hart Larry]

Well Terry, you are absolutely right.  First of all Karen could use dosemu 
while in linux.  Gee, I wish I could better run that?
Next, you see that the first 2 years I was running DOS, I was just typing 
commands.  I had very little idea what they meant or how you use them in other 
areas.  Well, then in 1995 I got a shell account, but I knew nothing about 
unix.  I actually thought it should be declared a swear-word.  I feel much 
differently today.
Last October 2 friends installed linux--and certainly the machine is lots more 
stable than the every other day crashes in windows.
Sure I still have plenty of outstanding issues, but basicly I would love to 
find a live interactive linux class where I can learn the basics--and 
eventually configure-and-installing programs, without as much handholding.
A live instructor would be the best
Thanks from Southern Cal

Are there any games available for linux?

If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?
then where does the learning start?

Well Terry, you are absolutely right.  First of all Karen could use dosemu
while in linux.  Gee, I wish I could better run that?
Next, you see that the first 2 years I was running DOS, I was just typing
commands.  I had very little idea what they meant or how you use them in
other
areas.  Well, then in 1995 I got a shell account, but I knew nothing about
unix.  I actually thought it should be declared a swear-word.  I feel much
differently today.
Last October 2 friends installed linux--and certainly the machine is lots
more
stable than the every other day crashes in windows.
Sure I still have plenty of outstanding issues, but basicly I would love to
find a live interactive linux class where I can learn the basics--and
eventually configure-and-installing programs, without as much handholding.
A live instructor would be the best

If you're talking about console games, there's a collection of games called
BSD Games.  In Gentoo, the package name is bsd-games I think.  Other
distributions probably have their own packages for it.  I think with Debian
they are automatically installed.  Some are less usable by a blind person
than others, but there are such classics as "Hunt the Wumpus" and "Advent",
as well as a very usable monopoly game called monop.

Yes, try the bsd games collection package, assuming your distribution
comes with it. Slackware does come with it in the I believe y series,
if you're using slackware.

games

[Kirk Reiser]

Hi Folks:  there has been some discussion about games and their
availability here on the list recently.  I have uploaded to the
goodies directory a game Jim Danley wrote for my birthday last year
called maxit.gz.  It is based on a game I used to play on my original
computer back in 1976 by the same name maxit.  I think you may enjoy
it if you want something a bit different than just another adventure
game.
