LXer: Microsoft Told to Pay Tax on License Fee for Software
In an ironic twist of fate, Microsoft's own End User License Agreement could force the software giant to pay taxes in India for selling their software due to their products being "licensed, not sold."

VSFTP not reading config???
It seems like VSFTP is not reading the config file. I'm trying to set chroot_local_user=YES but can't get it to work. (I've tested and still have access to things outside the home directory.) I've tried restarting the service (which is standalone i believe) and even the system itself. Could there be a permission problem with the config file? I've also created a sym link in /etc in case the file was expected to be there.
Any help is appreciated

HELP: Feather on usb not booting (very basic help)
I'm completely new to linux but since I have this new 8GB stick, and i use public pc's alot at college i wanted to put feather on this stick.
So i followed all the steps. formatted the stick. extracted feather0.7.4usb to the stick. extracted syslinux-2.11 to C:. (i'm working in vista btw) then i open the command line and that's where i get confused. some walkthroughs tell me to use syslinux F:, others say syslinux.exe F: ... so i tried both. the first gave a message telling me that something was trying to acces my hard drive blabla security. the other (with the .exe) seemed to work. the light on my flash drive flashed a few times and no warnings or nothing. i check the flashdrive but ther's no syslinux.exe on there. but that's how it's supposed to be i guess? (i don't understand why i just can't copy the syslinux.exe normally to the flashdrive, so did that too, but the following problem persisted).
Now here's the real problem. I boot from my USB Hard Drive, and all it gives is a black blank screen and in the top left corner a flashing cursor. And that's where it stops... I have to turn of the computer.
Please someone help i'll be forever grateful. I will even carve you name into my brandnew 8GB flashdrive. :D (ok i made that last part up ^^)
thanks

LXer: Future operating systems to remain as Windows and Linux
Gernot Heiser, professor of operating systems at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has stated that Windows and Linux will remain as the future of desktop and server operating systems. In an interview at the recent Linux.conf.au in Melbourne, Heiser said "the operating systems of the future will be called Windows and Linux, no matter what they look like". "You can't really introduce new operating systems in the desktop and server space", he added.

Tab setting in vim editor!!!
I am a newbie to the vi editor. I use vi to write AWK progs and perl scripts. I am facing a problem of indentation. When I press enter after writing a line, the cursor is going back to the start of the line. But i want the cursor to be placed at bottom of the above lines beginning, i.e., if I typed some code from 16th column the next line should start from 16th column only, unless i change the indentation.
RT61 Wireless Card Configuration
I have recently installed a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 wireless card, and I have followed the following steps:
1- uninstalled network-manager
2- removed rt61pci module that was currently inserted into the kernel
3- compiled the rt61cvs driver
4- installed the driver with make install
5- copied the "firmware" files to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA
6- rebooted
7- configured the interface with Yast2
8- rebooted again
After all this, nothing works. I ping my wireless router and no reponse. Ping returns "Host is unreachable".
When I execute the ifconfig command it returns me this info of wlan0:
Code:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:5B:EC:03:D5
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:17928 (17.5 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:18And iwconfig returns the following:
Code:

Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0What I see here is that "Link Quality" is 0. I also have Windows XP installed and my network functions properly with the same network values (ip addr, net mask, gateway).
Does anyone know what could it be the problem?? If anyone needs more information about the situation, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance!

Vampire Weekend live on SNL
For those of you who were away from a television set a couple of weekends ago {or for those of you attending the festival where Vampire Weekend was supposed to be playing} here are the two tracks that they played that night on SNL. I know that SNL is a rather limiting venue as far as live concerts are concerned and I wonder if the boys in Vampire Weekend have more fun with their songs when they’re not under the scrutiny of a million plus viewers.
mp3 : Vampire Weekend - A-Punk (Live on SNL)
