I have this shit, can anyone help me to run XFREE in 15,16,24 or 32=20

Are you sure the framebuffer can run at more colors?
I don't find this on http://docs.hp.com/hpux/hw/ !

apt-get install pine

but pine is junk anyway. Try mutt.

What is this?

Then report it using

reportbug pine

You compiled pine? I though you used apt-get?!

Fine. Don't forget to

first

Did you get a PINE source package (is there one?) or the original source?

Their fault.

The Artist card is limited by hardware to 8bpp only. Sorry.

pine is `special'.  That's in the sense of `retarded'.  the license
doesn't permit redistribution of modified versions, so debian distributes
(in non-free) the source code and patches.  you then build it yourself.

Awesome. I notice that all that ever come from UW is crap:

* UW-imap: bugs galore
* UW-pine: strage license
* WUftp: bugs galore

These guys should not be let anywhere near a computer, at least not to
write software.

My K class server works perfect with 240 users for mail.
this server has apache, squid, pine,qmail
4 cpu with 120mhz, 512mb ramm, 18GB HDD, what more???
my linux in my ISP is with P3 800Mhz, 256mb ram, 20GB HDD wtih apache, 
mysql, radius, routing, shapers.
Why did you call me lunatic???
Do you think that other servers in Bulgaria are P4 1.xGhz or palomino 
1.xGhz, the average is 500-1000Mhz celerons or p3
The old server was IBM7248-120, powerpc 133mhz, 32mb ram, 1.2GB SCSI HDD 
and hosted 240 users
It is bulgaria man, it is the reality:)

Quite nice.

* squid doesn't actually use more than one processor (state machine!)
* qmail is I/O bound.

Only a new Apache2 would benefit from a multi processor box.
If you replace qmail with postfix, you might speed things up a bit.

Because Linux isn't really as stable on HPPA as on say Alpha or x386!

I bet it's against the law :)

Whoa! What an honor!
I was already wondering how to get all that pa5x stuff back into the
mainline 2.4.x kernel.

Not entirely correct. K-class has both HSC (GSC follow-on) and HP-PB "slots".
IIRC, the built-in SCSI is HSC based. But you are right in that all the HP-PB
crud isn't supported.

ESIEE folks have that already in their "what's supported" HW listing.
Please see the ESIEE "puffin" site for where to submit them.

I agree, hppa is quite stable on UP and most SMP systems.
BTW - no one ever said "Thank you" for doing that - kudos!

yes - but I'd still like to see our changes get into 2.4.
I just want to be doing development on 2.5.

I don't think Matthew wath thinking about that. This HW list gives just 
an indication if this is working or not.
What I understand here is a list of something like:
I currently use a B132 in production environment since November, 2001. 
It provides a CVS server, apache with PHP and  a postgresql database. 
The kernel is pretty old (2.4.14-32), but the only shutdown (and end of 
services) I had to notice where caused by powerfailure.
Use of Php is quite recent.
Matthew, does these (real) example correspond to your suggestion?
