  • Gnu Getline Appears To Choke With Large File Support (can't Read &
    Hi all,

    I have compiled my program to enable large file support. That is, I pass -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to gcc.

    I can open files larger than 2GB file (whereas I could not if these options were not enabled).

    I have been reading in data from the text files using the GNU getline command. Getline also reads in data fine from before the 2GB mark, but immediately after it cannot read any data in.

    Does anyone know why this is, and how I can fix it? Is GNU getline compatible with LFS, or do I have to write my own equivalent routine?

    Cheers

  • Run Linux *in* Windows
    http://www.andlinux.org/index.php

    For people who can't work without Windows, but need some Linux applications, here's another interesting approach, using coLinux, which is Linux running in Windows, not inside an emulator.

    The number of creative solutions in the FLOSS world is amazing.

  • Difference
    Can some one lighten up a bit that whats difference between SUSE and openSUSE.

  • Opensuse In Other Distros Forums
    I some time search articles about comparisons among different OS.
    I found this in Ubuntu forum.May be most people see these.
    Here y i mention Ubuntu. Bcoz the real battle is between these two distros.
    Some words from that forum posts.

    even though openSUSE looks cool, their community is nothing compared to Ubuntu's.

    yes and Novell sold out to microsoft...

    QUOTE
    BTW the community over at suseforums is very nice and helpful. You can't judge a community by how big it is, but by how much it does.....Not to mention the 3 biggest forums are merging very soon.

    QUOTE
    The agreement allows Novell/SUSE software to link very well into corporate infrastructures that use MS products. As a result I think Novell has made strides in gaining a foothold into various companies.

    QUOTE
    +1 I have always found the openSUSE forums very helpful.

    QUOTE
    OpenSUSE is basically Microsoft Linux..... So if you want to feed lawyers and help Linux die, by all means use "Open"Suse. Read the EULA and you will not feel so happy about Suse....

    Well, what do you think?

    Linux may seem like a good alternative to Office, but all that is happening in linux is that the windows interface is cleverly hidden away. It still needs the drivers and software services in order to run, and in most cases - that happens WITHOUT a valid windows licence.
    This is just plain piracy.


    Are you serious? LOL!

    Linux is a marvellous operating system in its own right, and even comes in several different flavours. However, as good as these flavours are, they first need Microsoft Windows to load the services prior to use.


    Really, did I miss the memo?

    linux works best on machines around the 1GHz mark, and would be very unstable running on a 3GHz machine.


    And I suppose Windows, even Vista, can handle more than 3.5 GB or RAM? (32-bit versions)

    Suffice to say, this guy just made my week!
