  This document describes the use of products available in
  [1]Hewlett-Packard (HP) catalog with Linux and some free software. It
  gives the state of the support for hardware, software to use, answers
  to some frequently asked questions and gives elements of sizing. The
  goals are to offer a general view of free software functions and their
  use at best with HP products; as well as to make new users of HP
  products rapidly operational and also to allow others to choose their
  products knowing facts.

Chapter 2. Presentation of Linux and Free Software

Some definitions

  Before going into more details in the presentation, it could be useful
  to give some definitions of terms and software mentionned in that
  HOWTO.
    _________________________________________________________________

Free Software or Open Source software

  A free software (or Open Source software) is a software distributed
  with its source code, allowing its study, its transmission, its
  adaptation. The problem, in english, is the use of free, which has
  both meanings of "at no cost" and "without constraint". Here, it's the
  second use which has to be considered, hence the use of Open Source.
  To remember, think of free as speech, not beer.

  Depending on the licenses used for its development, the constraints
  for users of such a software are various. The most open licenses (like
  the BSD one) allow code appropriation by third parties, including the
  resell of the resulting software (with or without modification) in
  commercial products, without any problem, and without owing something
  else to the originators than the mention of their copyright. Other
  licenses (like the GNU Public License or GPL) force every modified GPL
  software to be free GPL software itself ; this doesn't allow the use
  of such programs in a commercial one. Many other licenses exist, more
  or less open: the Artistic License (perl), the NPL one (mozilla), the
  QPL one (Qt) ...

  A vast majority of free software is today under the GPL license, even
  if the BSD world takes always a great place, however less visible,
  mainly in the press.

  [85]GNU project Web site
         You find there all of the informations on the GNU project,
         including the licenses produced (GPL and LGPL) and various
         discussions on free software.

  [86]Open Source project Web site
         This site proposes a new definition, a bit less restrictive, of
         free software - called here OpenSource Software - by well-known
         people.

  [87]FreeBSD project Web site
         Here are explained the advantages of the very open BSD license.
    _________________________________________________________________

Examples and counter-examples

  First of all, free software and freeware shouldn't be mixed up. A
  freeware is not necessarily a software provided with its sources, on
  the contrary of a free software. On the other side, on the contrary of
  a freeware, you may be charged to obtain a free software (it's not in
  contradiction with the licensed used). The ambiguity, as stated
  before, comes from the word "free" . A freeware is then free of
  charge, but not necessarily "free of sources". (As well, the shareware
  has nothing to do with free software).

  So examples of important and well-known free software are the Linux
  and FreeBSD operating systems, the [88]Apache Web server, the
  [89]SaMBa SMB server, GNU C and C++ compilers ... A contrario,
  examples of well-known freeware are the Internet Explorer browser, the
  Eudora Light mail reader, ...
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux

  Linux is a free operating system, superset of the POSIX norm. "Linux"
  points out the kernel alone. By extension, the name is also given to
  distributions based on that kernel plus a set of tools from the GNU
  project.

  Linux is by consequence a Unix system, except that it doesn't use any
  proprietary code and is furnished under the GPL license, implying the
  availability of the sources. As every Unix system, it is multi-tasks,
  multi-users. It's also extremely portable, and it is available
  officialy today on processors such as Intel (i386 to Pentium III),
  Alpha, Motorola (680x0 and PowerPC), Sparc, StrongArm, Mips. Without
  mention of the ports, operational or in process on PalmPilot, Itanium
  (ex-Merced), PA-Risc, Crusoe ...

  The system is today perfectly stable and mature. Versions "x.y.z" of
  the Linux kernel, where "y" is an even number, are stable and only bug
  corrections are generaly applied when "z" augments. Versions "x.y.z"
  of the Linux kernel, where "y" is an odd number, are development
  versions which may be instable and are reserved to developers or
  intrepids.

  From time to time, when the kernel development stabilizes a "freeze"
  is announced to furnish a new "stable" version (even), and the
  development goes on on a new version (odd).

  The current stable version is the version 2.2.14 (this last number may
  evolve following the rythm of corrections). Development has on the
  other side begun again with a 2.3 version currently in code freeze.

  Numerous presentations of Linux are currently available. Among them,
  you should consult the one made by Michael Johnson at
  http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/mirror/linux/HOWTO/INFO-SHEET.ht

    _________________________________________________________________

Linux technical characteristics

  The system offers the following technical characteristics :

    * Multi-tasking : executes several programs in pseudo-parallel.
    * Multi-users : many users acting on the same machine at the same
      time (without worrying on licenses).
    * Portable and interoperable : works on several hardware
      architectures. All the sources are available. Linux supports a lot
      of file systems, outside the native ext2 : Systme V, BSD, Sun,
      MS-DOS, VFAT, NTFS, Mac, HPFS, EFS, ISO9660. On the network side,
      it supports the following protocols TCP/IP v4 and v6, Appletalk,
      Netware (client and server), Lan Manager SMB (client and server),
      X-Window, NFS, PPP, SLIP, UUCP.
    * Performant architecture : modular kernel, built at will, execution
      in protect mode on 80x86 processors, page load on demand, page
      share between executables when reading, virtual memory with swap
      on disk, use of a dynamical disk cache in memory, dynamic
      libraries, process management, pseudo terminals, virtual consoles.
    * Security : protection of memory between processus: one user
      program can't compromise the whole system operation.
    * Respect of norms and standards : Posix, with System V and BSD
      extensions. Support of COFF and ELF binaries. Binary compatibility
      with SCO, SVR3/4 through the iBCS2 module. Native Language Support
      as well as national keyboards, fonts...
    _________________________________________________________________

Free software concepts

  Once the definitions are given, it is important to stay on at ideas
  promoted by the free software movement. It's important as well to
  clear some wrong ideas hawked on these software. This section gives
  then a various set of elements in favour of the introduction of free
  software and ends on the real problems remaining to solve.
    _________________________________________________________________

Free software philosophy

  In fact, the philosophy promoted by the free software movement is not
  that different from the one proposed by the scientific movement till a
  long time already: to put in common ideas and collective knowledge to
  allow the progression of the research and the growth of this
  knowledge. The knowledge of the human genome is one of the examples of
  such a collaborative work.

  The computer engineering environement, and especially the software
  one, seems to have turn away till the last 20 years from these base
  concepts of the scientific world. It prefers on the contrary to keep
  the customer captive instead of giving him the informations needed to
  exploit his computing environement the best he can. That's indeed
  following such a problem at the begining of the 80's that Richard
  Stallman, who was doing researches in artificial intelligence at the
  MIT, decided to create the GNU project. This project is the foundation
  of the current free software movement.

  The main ideas promoted by this movement and stated by Richard
  Stallman himself are :

    * Liberty: every user should be free to copy, diffuse, modify a
      program, either to share it with others, or to adapt it to his own
      needs. As well, he should be able to analyse it to understand,
      imitate, improve, verify its operations, as well as every
      scientific result is published and seen by the peers for
      verification, study, understanding and realisation of derived
      works. Could you imagine a vaccine against the liver cancer that
      another laboratory couldn't derive to make a vaccine against the
      pancres cancer.
    * Equality: every person should have the same rights on the
      software. Thus the provider isn't priviledged and can't keep
      customers to whom he furnished his work captive. Could you think
      that only the producer of our vaccine could use it ?
    * Fraternity: this mode of working encourages the whole computer
      engineering community to cooperate and thus to produce software
      more and more reliable and useful to all. Could you imagine that a
      discovery like the vaccine above couldn't help everyone and favour
      other discoveries.

  More over the utopy of these ideas, we can find other reasons which
  allowed free software to spread so widely today. They are detailed in
  [90]the section called The choice of free software.

  The free software movement materializes itself also through a
  community of people. That community, informal meeting of
  personnalities, is heterogeneous in its contents, actions, ideas, even
  if all share the same belief in the freedom of the software. That
  community created for itself the tools needed to its communication :
  Internet and Usenet. And these communication tools are based of course
  on a lot of free software to work. Among the outstanding persons of
  this movement, we can present :

    * [91]Linus Torvalds, conceptor of Linux.
    * [92]Richard Stallman, GNU project conceptor.
    * [93]Eric S. Raymond, writer of several and excellent articles,
      which inspired so many vocations.
    * [94]Larry Wall, author of Perl and of the patch tool, and
      philosopher.
    * Tim O'Reilly <[95][email protected]>, free software advocate and
      editor of several books dedicated to them.

  All these personalities are, above all, excellent computer engineers,
  which allows them to be recognized as major actors of the free
  software movement. Their human and communication qualities are also
  strong characteristics of their nature. In any case they aren't
  considered for their power, but for their knowledge.

  Of course, the free software community is built of thousands of
  programmers, whose complete list would be too tedious. All share the
  will of producing useful work, free, and to be recognized for their
  technical qualities above all.
    _________________________________________________________________

The choice of free software

  To use free software to bring solutions in a computing environment is
  a choice. First, it is in favour of a plurality of solutions, mainly
  in the personal computer world which tends to be monopolistic. Then,
  the choice is made, and that's what is finally important, on the own
  qualities of free software, which are detailed just below.

  Source code access
         This point is the most important of the choice, because it
         allows the undestanding, adaptation, correction, distribution,
         improvement of the software.

  Reliability
         That quality is derived from the previous one: the free
         software is the combined result of the experience and the
         intelligence of all the participants. Its reliability increases
         then as time passes, with all the corrections which are made.
         More over, no marketing pression obliges the software's
         producer to deliver it to its customers before it is in a
         satisfactory state.

  Portability
         This quality is not intrinsic to free software, but is very
         often seen in a free software. Indeed if a softawre meets
         success, it will necessarily be adapted to other environments
         than those initialy considered. Thus by increasing its
         disponibility, its portability and reliability are also
         increased.

  Universality
         One essential quality of free software is the character
         naturaly universal of the data format used. Even if they don't
         follow standards, the availibility of the source code assures
         the user that he will understand them, and more over be able to
         write any filter needed to the reuse of data or their exchange
         with other software. This allows also users to stabilize their
         environment, because they are not obliged to migrate in case of
         incompatibility of data formats in their applications.

  Performance
         Resulting from a lot of examinations, the use of algorithms
         coming from advanced research works, as well as tested by
         various usages, free software have good performances by nature.
         Frequently large portions of code are rewritten to allow the
         reuse of the original ideas with a better code and thus to
         increase performance. Several tests made by various organisms
         tend to prove it also ([96]Apache Web Server and competitors

         , [97]SMB [98]SaMBa server vs Windows NT ...). Once more, there
         is no obligation to diffuse an application whose performances
         would be bad.

  Interoperability
         Historically, Unix environment was always a ferment for
         interoperability with other systems (big or medium size
         systems, as well as personal computers). The support in Linux,
         for example, of a lot of network protocols, filesystem formats,
         and even binary compatibility modes assures a good
         interoperability.

  Reactivity
         When considering the more and more longer development cycles of
         the software editors, the reactivity brought by the free
         software movement is interesting for a lot of sites, concerned
         by the rapid obtention of corrections to a given problem. Thus,
         during the recent discoveries of IP problems (ping of the
         death,...), patches were always available within the next 3
         days. And above that, only the patch correcting the hole found
         was delivered. There were no functionality added, which could
         have create other instabilities.

  Independantly of its qualities, it's possible to give other reasons of
  various nature, in favor of free software, depending on the type of
  the person met.
    _________________________________________________________________

Marketing argumentation

  Studies from IDC bring to light the irresistible rise of Linux as a
  server operating system. In 1998, Linux is credited with 17% of market
  share, with an increase of 212%, which is the most important in that
  domain. The following graphics give the whole market share
  repartition.

  Figure 2-1. Server operating system repartition in 1998 (IDC).

  [idc1998]

  This was confirmed in 1999 with a market share climbing to 24% and an
  ancrease of 93%, always more than four times the increase of the
  follower.

  Figure 2-2. Server operating system repartition in 1999 (IDC).

  [idc1999]

  Dataquest [99]estimates on its side that Linux servers will represent,
  with 1.1 million of units, 14% of the servers sold in 2003.

  the Net itself produces marketing tools to demonstrate the superiority
  of free software. Two counters are regularly updated by [100]Netcraft,
  on web server software, and by [101]IOS Counter for the servers on
  Internet. Results, reproduced below, show the importance taken by
  [102]Apache with more than 6 millions of operational sites, crushing
  the competition, as well as the free operating systems Linux and *BSD
  which dominate the world of Internet servers.

  1999.

    _________________________________________________________________

Financial argumentation

  Financial arguments also speaks for free software. And first the price
  to aquire them is low. Low, because it's never zero. Even if you can
  find it on Internet, you have to consider the costs related to that
  link. However costs are greatly less expensive than for commercial
  software. So a RedHat 6.1 Linux distribution, delivered with more than
  1200 software packages, costs about 60 USD when you have to pay more
  than 800 USD to obtain Windows NT server, delivered only with IIS.

  On the other side, free software don't have the notion of license by
  user or by supplmentary service. Thus there is no additional cost when
  you have to increase the use of these software in your entity. That's
  of course not the case with commercial software whose economical logic
  is often based on the number of licenses.

  Free software bring in addition a better mastering of the TCO (Total
  Cost of Ownership), mentionned so frequently in the massive deployment
  of personal computers. Thus administration costs are reduced because
  systems like Linux or FreeBSD, as Unix, are managed completely
  remotely, either through command line orders (with telnet) or in
  graphical mode by using X-Window. More over, we benefit from a true
  multi-users mode, improving these management operations. Always in
  this domain, it's also possible to do remote management, either
  through the own hardware capacities (as the Remote Assistant card
  integrated in most HP NetServers), or by doing a remote connexion
  (through modem, ISDN adapter or a permanent link) thanks to the native
  protocol PPP and secure connexion systems as tunneling or ssh. This
  managemnt could even be realised by an external entity, in
  outsourcing.

  At last, the costs due to the hardware themselves could be controled;
  on one side, if by chance free software don't meet the needs, it's
  always possible to buy then commercial software solutions to cover the
  rest. On the other side, solutions based on free software have good
  performances by nature, and can use hardware platforms which would be
  considered as obsolete, if installed following the standard criterias
  of other operating systems or applications. It's so possible to use
  "old" hardware, mainly to model. It's then possible to invest, with a
  fine knowledge, when puting the solution in operation, if needed. The
  power increase may naturaly take place progressively.
    _________________________________________________________________

Technical argumentation

  This argumentation was already given in the previous sections. I think
  nevertheless that some notions may be explained with complementary
  informations.

  So concerning the reliability aspects of free software based
  solutions, it's important to note that it implies an operational
  running time very high (standard characteristic of Unix systems in
  general). This is mesured by the command uptime. One of Medasys and HP
  customers, Saint Michel Hospital, has a Vectra VL5 acting as router
  under Linux since more than 300 days. And that's not a isolated case.

  Respect of standards and norms, as well as the extreme portability of
  free software assures also to applications developed on these
  platforms the same qualities. And notably, if after their use, the
  performances or services brought by free software based architectures
  were insufficient, it would be easy to migrate to machines offering
  more performances and capacities of evolution, as the HP 9000 systems,
  running HP-UX.

  At last a development plan centered around performances implies a
  modularity, such as it's possible to resize the system kernel nearest
  to the capacities of the hardware or to use dynamically loaded modules
  following the needs. A packages installation may vary from 40 GB for a
  minimal system up to many GB for a complete distribution. The system
  linearity allow also the support of multi-processors machines (SMP)
  (tested up to 32 processors on a Sparc machine). The system modularity
  allows also to obtain an operational system on a 1.44 MB floppy disk,
  either to realize a minimal repair environment, or to provide a
  perfectly operational router. The world of embedded systems shows
  besides more and more interest for systems such as Linux, because
  above it's modularity, source availability makes communication with
  dedicated peripherals easier (acquisition cards, sonde, ...) and
  entities as Cern or Thomson already use such solutions.

  That argumentation is probably the most important of all, because it's
  useless to have free software if it's not to make something useful
  with it or to offer solutions to demands of entities willing to use
  it. In which sectors free softawre may bring solutions today ? Well,
  you have to admit it's in nearly all the sectors of enterprise
  computing.

  Historically, Open Source Software were used to realise
  Internet/Intranet servers, because their growth was following the one
  of the Net. It's so possible to cover all aspects linked to the
  Internet, from the Web server ( [103]Apache ), FTP server
  ([104]Wu-Ftpd), DNS server ([105]Bind), the E-Mail server
  ([106]Sendmail or [107]Postfix), the Usenet groups server([108]INN),
  the proxy server ([109]IPmasqadm), the firewall ([110]IP-Chains),
  Virtual Private Network ([111]OpenSSH, Linux kernel), the Cache server
  for the Web ([112]Squid) or also the Time server ([113]NTP) ... All
  these software are available in standard in a Linux distribution. The
  client computer should be equiped with the software corresponding to
  the application used (mail reader, news reader, web browser, ...)
  whatever its operating system. The choice of the client is free, as
  all these tools respect the standards decreed in the [114]RFCs.

  The second preferential domain for free software is the file and print
  server domain. For these services, clients may be multiple: Unix type
  (use of [115]NFS and [116]KNFS or also [117]Coda, for file sharing and
  of lpd for print service), Microsoft Windows type (use of [118]SaMBa ,
  which allows also the use of local client printers) or MacIntosh type
  (use of [119]NetAtalk). All these software are provided in standard in
  a Linux distribution and don't need any modification at the client
  level to work.

  The other domains where a system such as Linux may bring solutions is
  the computation one, with support of [120]multi-processors, linked to
  the realisation of [121]clusters with multiple nodes with high-speed
  network interfaces (100 Mbit/s, [122]Gigabit or [123]Myrinet), those
  of data security with the support of HP NetRaid[124]Rem. cards,
  allowing Raid level of 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 50, and HotSpare disks, managed
  by the harware, those of centralized fax server, with a free software
  like [125]HylaFAX or also as an archive/backup server with HP
  SureStore DAT or DLT libraries thanks to a commercial software like
  [126]Arkeia or at last as a database server with free solutions like
  [127]PostgreSQL,[128]MySQL or commercial like [129]Oracle, to speak
  only of these three.

  On the client side, even if it's less highlighted for the moment,
  possibilities to use solutions based on free or commercial software
  are numerous. There also the Internet part is the main one, with tools
  like graphical web browsers ([130]Netscape) or textual ([131]lynx), a
  lot of graphical mail readers ([132]Kmail, [133]XFMail, ...) or
  textual ([134]mutt, [135]elm, ...). But you also have the whole panel
  of indispensable tools for a personal computer today as a PDF reader
  ([136]Acrobat Reader or [137]xpdf), image manipulation tools
  ([138]ImageMagick, [139]the Gimp, [140]RealPlayer tools ...), word
  processors ([141]LyX, [142]LaTeX, [143]SGMLTools, [144]Wordperfect,
  ...), commercial office suites ([145]ApplixWare, [146]StarOffice),
  sound management tools ([147]WavTools, [148]eplaymidi, [149]xmcd,
  ...), CD burning tools ([150]cdrecord, [151]BurnIT, ... with
  complements as [152]mkisofs, [153]cdparanoia), free and commercial
  emulators for various systems ([154]Wine, [155]Executor, [156]WABI,
  [157]DOSEmu, ...), compilers and interpretors for all the languages
  ([158]C, [159]C++, [160]Pascal, [161]Fortran, [162]Basic, [163]Tcl/Tk,
  [164]Perl, [165]Python, [166]Ada, [167]Eiffel, [168]Lisp, [169]Scheme,
  [170]Prolog...), including commercial versions ([171] PGI, ...),
  graphical environments ([172]Gnome, [173]KDE, [174]Motif, ...). The
  evolution of these last tools indicates that the 2000's may be the
  years where Linux and free software will break through at their turn
  on the client.

  I want to mention that this document was realized on an HP Brio BAx
  equiped only with a Linux distribution, with the help of tools like
  [175]SGMLTools, [176]Jade and [177]DocBook, which allowed to generate
  from a single source the formats HTML, Txt, RTF, PostScript, and PDF.
    _________________________________________________________________

Service argumentation

  This one was for a long time a blocking point to the expansion of free
  software in the firms. It's not the case today. Many service providers
  or hardware manufacturers, like HP, control today these solutions and
  propose support around them.

  Other sources of informations are also available, in abundance,
  through several web sites dedicated to these solutions, specialised
  mailing-lists, and various Usenet groups, such as for Linux, the
  international groups under comp.os.linux.* or for the french speaking
  people under fr.comp.os.linux.*.

  Concerning competences, more and more young engineers or academics
  finish their learning cycle being trained to the use of free
  applications and operating systems. This wealth of competences arrives
  now on the labour market and will contribute to increase the movement
  of generalisation of these tools. At last, many firms have internaly
  ignored competences. In fact, their employees often install this
  software at home, and have a good mastering, usable when arrives the
  deployment of the software in their professional structure.
    _________________________________________________________________

Wrong ideas on free software

  Advocating free software consists also to mention some generally
  accepted ideas concerning them and to fight them.

  "There is no support, no training"
         As seen previously, support is currently structuring itself. A
         firm like [178]RedHat provides today support for their
         solutions. Only in France, we may mention firms like
         [179]Medasys , [180]Atrid, [181]Alcove which assure support on
         free software. Likewise, always in France, training on free
         software may be given by [182]HP France, [183]Learning Tree,
         the [184]IUT de Vlizy, without mentioning generic network and
         Unix trainings (besides proposed also by the same
         organizations) which represent a fundamental base in a training
         course.

  "There is no documentation"
         There is a whole set of manuals, the [185]Linux Documentation
         Project made of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and HOWTO,
         counting more than 300 documents around Linux, the main being
         [186]translated in french, available as free documentation.
         This documentation has a various quality, more or less up to
         date, following the subjects, certainly but it makes a corpus
         allowing to apprehend alone a Linux distribution and all its
         components. For myself, I always found in it everything I
         needed to do my job with free software. And, in case of
         complementary informations, a lot of web sites and Usenet
         groups may again bring some of the elements needed. And without
         counting the innumerable manual pages available on line.

         On the other side, the editors [187]O'Reilly and [188]SSC have
         specialised in providing books around free software, written
         generaly by the writers of the software themselves. Their books
         are considered as reference books in their respective domains.

  "A free or nearly free product is a toy"
         You should always make a difference between free (as speech)
         and free (as beer). Too many freeware in Microsoft environment
         are in fact toys and of poor quality. It's absolutely not the
         case for free software, as stated in the previous sections.
         Remember just that they are reliable by construction.

  "Linux is difficult to install"
         Linux is a professional operating system. At that title, it
         requires competences to install it, as well as any other
         professional operating system, like the other Unix or Windows
         NT for example. But it isn't more difficult to install than
         those either, mainly thanks to distributions as RedHat 6.1,
         Mandrake 7.0, ... You need about 30 minutes to realize a
         complete installation of such distributions, so quite the same
         as for HP-UX and noticeably less than for Windows NT Server.

         On the other hand, as before installing a server with Windows
         NT you have to verify its compatibilit with the [189]Hardware
         Compatibility List of Microsoft, for Linux it's also greatly
         recommended to verify the [190]Hardware HOWTO, and for HP
         machines to refer to this [191]page.

  "Free Software are not adequate for heavy tasks"
         This is less and less true and this criticism will be obsolete
         with the next versions of the Linux kernel which will include a
         journalised filesystem, allowing a true application cluster.
         But already Linux authorises the use of multi-processors,
         several nodes to realise computation clusters. And don't forget
         it's used by the portal [192]Voila (France Telecom) or the
         engine [193]Deja among other prestigious references. As well,
         FreeBSD is used with success as the world biggest ftp server :
         [194]Walnut Creek CDROM server

  "What appeal do I have in case of problem with the editors ?"
         There is no appeal, because software licences deny all
         responsabilities for the writers, in case of problem. But, in
         reality developers are always ready to help in case of problem
         and try to correct as soon as possible the bugs encountered
         (for the F00F bug of the pentium, a patch for the Linux kernel
         was published within 3 days, for example). On the other side,
         commercial editors guarantee very badly users against problems
         other than packaging errors. please read the notes furnished
         with your software to judge.
    _________________________________________________________________

Real problems around free software

  It would not be honest to negate certain remaining problems linked to
  free software. Some have begun to disappear, other are inherent to the
  system, other at last will take time to diappear.

  The first problem, inherent to the model of free software, is the
  multiplicity of tools and distributions available. So, if you want to
  setup a mail server, you have to choose between Sendmail, Exim,
  PostFix, Qmail, Smail. As well if you want to install Linux, you may
  choose between the distributions [195]RedHat , [196]SuSE,
  [197]Slackware, [198]enMandrake, [199]Turbo Linux, [200]Debian. This
  represents often a problem for the newcomer, but the esperienced user
  will always prefer to have a large choice he will confront to his
  particularities and to his experience. As long as an actor respects
  the rules by freeing his code (it's the case of the rpm and deb
  formats for example), there is little risk from the comunity point of
  view.

  The second problem, inherent also to the free software birth, is the
  necessity to have strong Unix and Internet competences, to manage such
  solutions. The power available through these systems is proportional
  to the competence of their administrators. And that will stay true
  even with the growth of more and more grahical solutions to manage
  them. On the other side, you capitalize the investment in time to
  learn their functions and that doesn't disappear, because you don't
  have to re-learn eveything from one version to the other. Don't forget
  that systems you use daily seem to be simple, uniquely because you
  passed enough time to learn them. For Internet competences, it's a
  statement of the obvious to say that this investment isn't lost. At
  last, even with the work of translators to provide informations in
  french and other languages, a good knowledge in technical english is
  definitively a plus.

  The last problem met in the implementation of free software solutions
  is to suceed in convincing some mnagers to go against the prevailing
  opinion. The aim of this part is precisely to give all sorts of
  argumentations to achieve that goal, but you need each time to show
  conviction to get his way in the end. As soon as these solutions will
  be adopted by big firms principaly, resistances will disappear.
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux and other operating systems

  The aim is not to examine completely or to compare the functions of
  the various operating systems available. It's more upon looking at the
  respective positions of Linux in comparaison with other systems. Only
  systems having a sufficient representation on the market are
  considered.
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux and other proprietary Unix (HP-UX, Tru64, AIX, Solaris, Irix)

  The situation taken by all the hardware manufacturers place Linux
  today in the entry level (when it's taken in account) and their own
  Unix system in the middle and high level. Reality is sometimes more
  cruel than the situation wanted by the marketing department :-).
  Technically, a Linux distribution has no cause to be envious of the
  manufacturers Unix solutions, except for the moment the set of
  commercial applications. And we can often see that users dope their
  workstations with free software to complete their usage.

  To be precise in the talk, we should consider manufacturers Unix
  solutions as split in stations and servers.

  On the station side, there's no doubt in my mind: for a customer, the
  only reason today to buy one is linked to the availability of a
  software or a hardware which wouldn't exist in the free environment,
  or due to intrinsic performances of the machine. In the first case, we
  can see that this argument should have a short life time, because
  logically every software editor (except maybe hardware manufacturers)
  and every hardware manufacturer has interest in porting their
  applications or allowing the use of their hardware on all the major
  environments in the market. As shown by Oracle, Informix, Sybase, ...
  Linux becomes today one of the major environments. In the second case,
  the difference in term of performances between the Linux dominant
  platform (IA-32) and the other competitors decreases and should even
  disappear with the availability of the IA-64 architecture, which seems
  to be adopted largely by a majority of actors. More over, Linux is
  often available natively on the processors of these actors (Sparc,
  Mips, PowerPC, 68xxx, Alpha, Crusoe, PA-Risc to come). I think Linux
  may represent the famous unique and standard Unix that everybody
  dreamed of from a long time, without succeeding to impose it (the open
  and free characteristics brought by Linux are not without influence on
  that). I think that at the end hardware manufacturer Unix workstations
  will be restricted to some niches such as high end computation,
  virtual reality, ... and that as long as solutions are not available
  on a free environment. Linux offers all the functional qualities of
  the other Unix systems, and thus of the workstation, on a more various
  hardware platform and potentially at a better price, if on PCs. So it
  is the natural choice of every computer engineer with a strong Unix
  culture (old customer of the workstation) who will prefer that
  solution to the migration to a Microsoft system typically.

  On the server side, in addtion to the points mentionned previously for
  the stations, problems are more complex. Ram, disks, processors
  capacities, extensions of every kind make them difficultly repleacable
  by machines with a IA-32 architecture for example. More over, certain
  solutions such as high availability clusters for example are not
  already in production in a Linux environment. The other brake is often
  linked to investments already done around software solutions deployed
  on these servers. Whatever their natural life time is much higher than
  those of the stations. Changes will thus be made more slowly in that
  domain. Here we can consider rightly Linux solutions as an
  entry/middle level solutions, when hardware manufacturer Unix servers
  are the middle/high level. The introduction of Linux in place of these
  machines will begin only with a massive availability of applications,
  mainly in the management sector.

  The advantages of the hardware manufacturer solutions, explaining why
  they are so often chosen when applications are critical, are linked to
  the homogeneity of the solution (hardware and software mastered by the
  same entity, which can't invoke a third party in case of problem), and
  to the support and maintenance garantees furnished.

  Finally, there is not so much antagonism between these systems,
  because they are full cousins. Their association allows today to
  computer teams "pro-Unix" to have solutions from start to finish,
  without having to lose in functions, as it's so often the case with
  other operating systems available for personal computers.
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux and SCO

  The comparaison between Linux and the SCO systems seems to me quite
  unbalanced. First, all the previous points are vaild here also. More
  over, SCO isn't a hardware manufacturer, so the homogeneity advantage
  disappears. the IA-32 Intel platform is supported by both systems, so
  cost is identical. On the other hand, the software solution has a
  disproportionate cost (few software provided in the base install, thus
  a lot of expenses to extend, as well as to increase the number of
  users). Having to manage one OpenServer, I can say that performances
  are far beyond those of a Linux system. More over, its conception is
  older, abounds of symbolic links which makes management complex. The
  hardware supported by SCO is less numerous than those Linux supports.
  Only stay as an advantage the installed base and the set of
  applications available. But for how long ? Besides the fact that SCO
  choose Monterey (AIX based) for the IA-64 port seems significant for
  the future reserved to OpenServer or UnixWare.
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux and Windows NT

  The comparaison is here more difficult, because Windows NT isn't an
  open system, as the precedings, which is already redhibitory for
  certain users. An excellent [201]comparaison was made by John Kirch
  between Unix and Windows NT Server. I recommend to people searching to
  have an enlightened opinion on this subject to read it; it's updated
  regularly and was written by a specialist of both Microsoft and Unix
  operating systems. Financially, obvious advantage for the free
  software. And it's more obvious, as for SCO, if you consider the set
  of complementary software you need to use a server. The author
  evaluates the difference from 1 to 100 all the same ! Technically,
  either on the functions provided or on the reliability, the
  administration, the performances, the hardware supported, and more
  over the security, Unix systems and particularly free systems
  outperform what is proposed by Windows NT. The fact to have a GUI non
  independant from the kernel contributes greatly to the instability of
  NT, because it's more difficult to avoid errors in a GUI (there is no
  mastering possible of the user comportment in front of it) rather than
  in a kernel.

  Which are the real advantages of Windows NT ?: the marketing power of
  Microsoft which persuades the world that computers equal Windows and
  which leans on the enormous installed base; its office applications (a
  monopolistic situation on the market) only available in this
  environment; the confusion maintained between the various flavours of
  Windows (95/98, NT, 2000), and between the server and client
  functions; its agreements with the biggest hardware manufacturers
  which often oblige them to provide a Microsoft system with their
  platforms; its technological initiatives to occupy the market in
  first, based on proprietary code and that often without respect of
  known or documented standards.

  The lack of hegemony in the servers sector is the best reason to hope
  that a plurality of solutions may exist in the future for computers
  users, also at the desktop.

Informations on HP products and Linux

General informations

  HP became recently concious of the importance taken by Linux and free
  software in general and on its machines particularly. Thus a web site
  dedicated to Linux in HP environment is now available at
  http://www.hp.com/go/linux.

  In France, there is for a longer time a site on these themes, under
  the responsability of Jacques Misselis <[202][email protected]>,
  hosted by [203]l'Ecole Centrale de Lyon at the address
  http://hpwww.ec-lyon.fr/hpeduc/education.

  On the other side, the firm [204]Medasys , for which I work, put at
  disposition of the community a certain number of informations since
  1997, available at http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux. This
  HOWTO is the result of this work.

  HP also realized a synthesis document (PDF format) concerning his
  position vis  vis of Linux, the [205]White Paper HP Linux Strategy.

  HP is a member of [206]Linux International.

HP hardware supported by Linux

  This section presents HP hardware supported today by Linux.
  Informations are based on the latest stable version of the Linux
  kernel, which is currently version 2.2.14. A development kernel
  (version 2.3.x) is also available but doesn't offer any garantee of
  stability.
    _________________________________________________________________

Intel based computer range

  Page last updated the 15th of March 2000.

  That computer range is today the main set of HP machines supported by
  Linux, and that till many years. In case you didn't already do it
  before, some preliminaty readings are recommended before to try to
  install Linux on these platforms.

  The [208]Linux Installation HOWTO contains a great number of
  informations to install Linux. If you bought linux on a CD-ROM,
  chances are that installation instructions are provided with it (the
  little booklet inside the disk case, and/or files on the CD).

  The [209]Linux Kernel HOWTO should be read to have details on kernel
  construction. I will just mention here points which are specific to HP
  hardware.

  Outside particular indication, Linux support means during the
  installation of a RedHat 6.1 distribution. In special cases, a kernel
  rebuild will be necessary to support completely some hardware
  elements. You should note that what is true for one distribution is
  generally true for another, as these functions are linked to the
  kernel or the XFree86 server, and not to the distribution itself.

Remarks

  XFree86
         The latest version of XFree86 is the 3.3.6, available from our
         [505]mirror.

  Ncr53c8xx
         The latest version of the ncr53c8xx driver is available from
         the [506]reference site.

  3C59x
         The latest version of the 3c59x driver is available from the
         [507]reference site.

  Sound Chipset AD1816
         The latest version of the AD1816 driver is available from the
         [508]reference site.

  DOS models
         These models are delivered with MS-DOS only, in order to have a
         Linux Machine at the best price.

  G100 card
         To use the MGA G100 AGP card, with a version of XFree86 before
         the 3.3.2 one, you have to use an option in the file XF86Config
         : Option "no_accel".

  Silicon Motion LynxE card
         This card is only supported from the 3.3.6 version of XFree86.
         Nevertheless, even in that version, this is a preliminary
         support, which isn't as stable as the Frame Buffer mode.

         On the other hand, to be able to install a RedHat 6.1 version,
         you should do that in text mode, because the server provided
         (3.3.5) doesn't support this card.

  Intel i810 card
         (Informations provided by Frdric Dubuy
         <[509][email protected]> and Anne-Marie
         Mahfouf <[510][email protected]>)

         This card is only supported with a specific X server XFCom_i810
         downloadable in both format [511]RPM or [512]tar.gz and a
         complementary module for the kernel agpgart, downloadable in
         both format [513]SRPM or [514]tar.gz.

         A detailed documentation on the installation is provided at
         http://www.linux-france.org/article/x/GuideIntel810/book1.html

         To summarize, once the X server installed, the module compiled
         and installed, it's sufficient to modify with the following
         parameters the file /etc/X11/XF86Config :

Section "Device"

  XU800
         On that machine, the Bios doesn't give the right amount of
         memory which is in the machine to Linux. You need to use a line
         such as append="mem=xxxM" at the begining of /etc/lilo.conf
         where xxx is your RAM in MB.

  LC 2000
         In order to use the native SCSI controler you need to disable
         in the Bios the option "Reserve PCI Bus Numbers", in the menu
         PCI Device Setting. (Indication of GILLYNN COUCH)

  LH 6000
         In order to use the native SCSI controler you need to
         desactivate in the Bios the "reserver PCI Bus #s", in the menu
         PCI Device Setting. The PS/2 system doesn't seem to be
         operational on the machine we tested. On the other side,
         through the network, the system is perfectly operational in a
         6-processors mode :-)

  BX Chipset
         Intel BX Chipset (Memory Bus at 100 MHz) is supported by
         [515]kernels above 2.0.34/2.1.103.

  BAx
         Attention, the XF86_SVGA server works correctly with this
         mother board embedded version only above XFree86 3.3.5, due to
         the use of different frequencies (In particular, use the
         updates for RedHat 5.2/6.0).

  FrameBuffer
         To use the FrameBuffer mode, please consult the following
         documents
         http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/framebuffer.html

  Boot disk for 3Com card
         Creation of a custom RedHat Boot disk

         To be able to boot with the RedHat 5.1 boot disk, and to have
         the support of the 3C905B-TX card, you need to do the following
         :

# Log as root. Go in the home directory  (~root)

  Elsa Gloria Synergy card
         Specifications of that card should be consulted on Elsa web
         site. This card is equiped with an hardware OpenGL accelerator.
         Under Linux, there is an OpenGL compatible layer called Mesa.
         This layer begins to support hardware accelerators, and among
         them the 3DLabs chipset which is on Elsa Gloria cards.

  D6692A card
         To use the D6692A card, you need to use a 2.1.122 kernel at
         least. Previous kernels didn't handled correctly the shared IRQ
         between the network and SCSI parts of the card. In particular,
         a standard RedHat 5.2 version doesn't allow to the network part
         to be supported. You have to update your kernel with a recent
         one (preferably 2.2.14) and the distribution with the
         complementary packages needed.

  HA Cluster
         To use a High Availability Custer under Linux, you need to use
         additional software, such as :

         + [519]RSF-1 (Commercial)
         + [520]Linux-HA project (free) and [521]ext3

  LH 4
         The LH4 doesn't seem to work correctly when not in Raid. Even
         with the latest Bios available at the time of the test (16.00),
         the problem remains. If you desactivate the Raid management,
         during the boot, the ncr53c8xx driver in Linux detects 4
         controlers instead of 2 and boot doesn't end. To avoid that,
         you have to activate the Raid in the Bios and use each of the
         disk in Raid0 mode, which is quite the same as the solution
         without Raid at all.

  NetRaid card
         These cards are equiped with an [522]AMI Megaraid chipset and
         may support the following Raid levels : 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 30 and
         50. Some NetRaid cards, as well as the chipset integrated on
         the LH3 and LH4 mother boards are supported by recent version
         of the Linux kernel (2.0.36/2.2.14 typically - don't use
         2.0.37/38).

         For the RedHat 5.2 distribution, it's not possible to install
         the system on this type of controler, because it's not detected
         by the installation program. You have to use a specific
         [523]floppy disk . This floppy disk should be used as input to
         the rawrite tool, for example. It works for systems with less
         than 1 GB of memory.

         For the RedHat 6.0 distribution, you have to manually declare
         the existence of this card as a supplementary SCSI adapter, in
         order to use it directly during the installation. The megaraid
         driver isn't automatically detected.

         To avoid strange messages during the boot printed by the
         megaraid driver, it's necessary to recompile it with the option
         -DHP.

         For the RedHat 6.1 distribution, the megaraid driver provided
         by the kernel does support on ly the first logical drive. In
         order to obtain the others, please recompile a 2.2.14 standard
         kernel.

         You have to note that the integrated card of the LH3/4 realises
         a software parity checks and performs thus less efficiently
         than the NetRaid daughter cards. On the other side, LH6000 are
         equiped with an integrated card doing hardware checks.

PA-Risc based computer range

  The PA-Risc range is achitectured around a processor designed and
  realised by HP. First versions were produced in 1987. Currently the
  versions are named PA-8000 (8200, 8500, ...).

  HP has announced at the begining of 1999 its intention to contribute
  to the port of Linux on its PA-Risc architecture. This port is a
  native one, which is different from a preceding project which used
  MkLinux on machines based on PA-7200. The work is currently done with
  [524]The Puffin Group and more precise informations on the status may
  be found on their [525]Web site. For the moment the work on the boot
  process is improved, a shell is launched... which dies rapidly :-)

  The first machine concerned by the port is the A Class server. Tests
  are also done on 712 and 715. Other people begin also to work on
  PA-2.0 machines.

  There is on the other side for these machines a Linux project based on
  the MkLinux micro-kernel. This project as developped within OSF. The
  web site mentionning informations is at
  http://www.gr.opengroup.org/mklinux/hppa/mkpa-rel.html.
    _________________________________________________________________

The IA-64 range

  HP is developping in collaboration with Intel a new generation of 64
  bits processors called IA-64. The first processor of this new
  generation, called Itanium, should be there during 2000. The initial
  port of Linux on IA-64 was published the 2nd of february, 2000 and the
  sources of the project are available through
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ia64. More informations on this
  topic may be found on this page of the HP labs :
  http://devresource.hp.com/devresource/Topics/IA64/IA64.html or on the
  reference site http://www.linuxia64.org
    _________________________________________________________________

The printing product range

General points

  Printers may be connected either directly to a machine through a
  parallel port (generally), or a serial port, or even more recently
  through an USB port. They may also be directly wired to the network,
  for a global access; this is done thanks to a card put in a slot of
  the printer, or through the connexion of the parallel port of the
  printer to a sharing network box.

  HP provides such boxes, called JetDirect, which allow thus to share
  personnal printers on the network, directly, without going through a
  machine. They exist for various network topologies (10 BT, 10/100 BT,
  Localtalk, 10B2) and offer the ability to access to the printer
  directly from machine which like Linux support the LPD protocol, by
  using a remote printer in the printcap file. The name of the queue to
  use is then raw.

  An example of /etc/printcap file allowing to access to a printer,
  equiped with such a box or card, named lj4000 on the network is given
  below :
# REMOTE POSTSCRIPT 1200x1200 a4 {} PostScript Default {}
lj4000:\
       :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lj4000:\
       :rm=lj4000:\
       :rp=raw:\
       :if=/var/spool/lpd/lj4000/filter:
       :mx#0:\
       :sh:\

  The configuration access to the box is done either through the
  WebJetAdmin tool provided also under Linux now, or by the telnet
  command. The default address of these products is 192.0.0.192. To
  connect to them initially, you just have to add an IP alias on your
  network interface, typically by :
#ifconfig eth0:0 192.0.0.1

  and a route to that network (if not automatically created) typically
  by :
#route add -net 192.0.0.0

  The access to the equipment is thus done simply by :
#telnet 192.0.0.192

  Please pay attention to have only one such equipment on the network,
  at the same time, or you'll have duplicate IP addresses, which always
  causes problems. Note that HP manageable network equipments also use
  the same default address. The reading of the [526]IP Alias mini HOWTO
  may be useful if you don't understand the previous paragraph :-).

  It is of course possible to access through the network to an HP
  printer attached and declared directly on a Linux machine, thanks to
  the lpd service for the other Unix clients, through [527]SaMBa for the
  clients of Microsoft systems (Win9x ou WinNTx) or through
  [528]NetAtalk for the MacIntosh clients.

  At last, [529]SaMBa offers a tool, smbclient, which allows to print
  from a Unix/Linux machine to a printer wired directly on a Microsoft
  based PC, without any need to use a JetDirect system. All the details
  useful to realize this operation are described in the file example
  smbprint provided with the [530]SaMBa package and on the page
  http://www.medasys-digital-systems.fr/linux/samba-truc.html.

  Communication between a Linux machine and a printer needs also,
  outside a network dialog, a discussion with an exchange language
  between the two elements. There are a lot of languages of that sort,
  such as PCL, Postscript or HPGL. To be able to print correctly, the
  tool providing the datas to print has to generate code known by the
  printer. Filters exist which allow to easily transform an output in
  one given format to another one. Thus the [531]Ghostscript software
  authorizes the transformation of Postscript source in a great variety
  of output formats, as indicated by its invocation in the 'Available
  devices' part :

Chapter 4. Solutions and Sizing

  This chapter proposes an help for sizing NetServers under Linux,
  depending on the different kinds of use.

  You have to consider that exercise as a bit perilous. Indeed, only the
  reality allows to test such previsions. Nevertheless, using the
  experience acquired by deploying solutions in the past, we can give
  some useful rules.

  We may apply a certain number of rules valid for the sizing of
  classical Unix servers, considering that CISC systems (the majority in
  Linux environment) need 2.5 less times resources in memory than RISC
  systems, due to the fact that binaries used are smaller (Intel
  platforms are for the moment 32 bits architectures). This has also
  influences on disk and swap space.

  It's obvious you have to consider, whatever the system, bottlenecks of
  the solution put in place, because they will determine the weakest
  link in the chain.

  You have to look particularly at the following points :

    * The number and the speed of disks (the I/O rate of 10.000 rpm
      disks may go up to 15 MB/s),
    * The number and the speed of SCSI controlers (the I/O rate of
      Ultra2 LVD of the LC2000 - LH3/4/3000/6000 may go up to 80 MB/s),
    * The addition of a supplementary SCSI card supported, when adding
      slow peripherals (DAT, DLT, CD writer ...) in order to avoid that
      the controler slow down in compatible mode, and that I/O
      performanes drop significantly.

  You have also to be suspicious of the extensible functions of
  machines. Indeed, it's often preferable for a customer to add a new
  server, rather than to augment the capacities of the one in place. The
  first reason is a financial one, on one side, because the costs of
  add-ons on an already old system may be near those of a new system,
  whose prices are becoming cheaper and cheaper. And the same for
  maintenance. On the other hand, technically, it could be more
  interesting to benefit from the latest technologies to obtain a
  machine more equilibrate and powerful. For example, when Ultra2 LVD
  was introduced, it was more interesting to buy a new server to benefit
  from the 80 MB/s SCSI bus speed, rather than to update a server which
  had 40 MB/s Ultra Wide SCSI. This implies that it's interesting to
  size correctly the server, from the begining, for the whole forseeable
  period of life of its use (typically 3 years nowadays).

  In the same kind of ideas, you have to examine closely the choice
  between a bi-processors and two mono-processor machines. 2 different
  systems imply 2 disk controlers, 2 disks set, 2 separate RAM busses
  thus best performances, but more administration. On the other hand, a
  unique system renders it easier, allows for a quicker communication
  between processors, which could be necessary for certain applications,
  but makes the environment more fragile (more downtime in case of an
  hardware problem). In fact, there are more losses intrinsically on a
  multi-processors model, in communications at the system level. This
  question should mainly be considered for the addition of a processor
  (necesseraly obsolete) on a machine a posteriori, rather than to add a
  new server.

  On memory aspects, Linux can't manage today more than 2 GB in stable
  kernels. But Linux takes the maximum from the memory you give to it,
  mainly by the constitution of a cache disk which improves greatly
  system performances. You may thus oversize the quantity of RAM
  installed, because it's preferable to a situation where the server
  would be obliged to swap (which drop performances dramatically). The
  minimum RAM size provided on the NetServers (64 or 128 MB) matches
  perfectly a normal use of a system, and doesn't need any particular
  addition. You have to take in account that there is no graphical
  environment used on production servers. Concerning the swap, under
  Linux, it comes in addition to the RAM to give the complete virtual
  memory available for the server. As a base rule, it's recommanded to
  give the same amount of swap space as the amount of RAM, to allow the
  system to put on disk nearly all the running processus in case of
  need. But the rule which exists for System V Unix (such as HP-UX)
  consisting of reserving twice the amount of RAM for swap isn't useful
  under Linux. You may note that Linux may swap certain inactive
  processus to free the maximum RAM possible. So having a system whose
  swap is partially used isn't necesseraly a proof of lack of memory,
  nor lack of performances.

  You'll find below recommandations depending of the type of use made by
  the HP NetServer under Linux. It's possible to cumulate several
  functions on the same server. You'll take care to add in that case the
  resources needed to give the services.

  Some generic rules have to be considered :

    * We consider that the number of simultaneous users is the same as
      half the whole number of users on the server.
    * The minimal RAM size needed for a usable Linux server is 32 MB,
      which is less than the minimum amount of RAM available on the
      NetServers (64 MB). In case you use X-Window with KDE or Gnome on
      this machine, you need to have 64 MB in supplement, thus 96 MB as
      a minimum.
    * The minimal disk size needed for a usable Linux server is 2 GB,
      which is less than the minimum amount of disk available on the
      NetServers (9 GB).
    * In case of use of Raid 1, you have to double the amount of disk
      space useful to obtain the disk space needed. In case of use of
      Raid 5, you need to add 1 disk to obtain the disk space needed.
    * Except in particular cases (computing server), the amount of swap
      is the same as the amount of RAM.
    * The minimal processor needed for a usable Linux server is a
      Pentium 133, which is less than the minimum processor available on
      the NetServers (Pentium II 450).
    * Each X-Window user excuting a client on the server uses in average
      2 MB.
    * It may be useful to add network cards on this type of machine to
      smooth the traffic, depending on the number of clients.

Linux as file and print server

Linux as file server

  The sharing service uses 2 MB of RAM, and 2 more MB per share. In case
  of a unique share (users space for example), it leads to a 2 MB
  consumption per user. In the proposed case, we estimate that each user
  has 100 MB of disk space on the server, with an evolution to 200 MB 3
  years later. Processor resources used are relativeley small, an entry
  level model will be sufficient from that point of view. We will
  priviledge the I/O speed with Ultra 2 LVD SCSI at 80 MB/s, if the
  budget allows it, and 10.000 RPM disks.

  Simultaneous users RAM size Disk size Machine example

  500 - 1000 2 Go 216 Go LH3000
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux as print server

  The sharing service uses 2 MB of RAM, and 2 more MB per printer
  shared. In case of a unique share (One printer per user typically), it
  leads to a 2 MB consumption per user. In the proposed case, we
  estimate that each user prints simultaneously files of 5 MB in
  average, thus we need to have that space available on the server.
  Processor resources used are relativeley small, an entry level model
  will be sufficient from that point of view.

    _________________________________________________________________

Internet/Intranet Linux server

Web Server

  The Web service uses 2.5 MB of RAM, in static mode (simple HTML pages)
  and 5 MB of RAM in dynamic mode (HTML pages generated from per, php,
  ...) per user. The disk space needed is function of the nature of the
  server, knowing that most of the consumption comes from images.
  Processor resources used are important, thus it could be useful to
  consider the increase in frequency and the addition of processors,
  because this type of traffic could be quite well done in parallel. We
  will priviledge also the I/O speed with Ultra 2 LVD SCSI at 80 MB/s,
  if the budget allows it, and 10.000 RPM disks.

Mail Server

  Generally, this machine is used as both SMTP (sending and reception of
  messages) and POP server (keeper of messages and manager of client
  accesses). The SMTP Mail service uses 2 MB of RAM per user. The POP
  Mail service uses 2 MB of RAM per user. The disk space needed becomes
  more and more important as long as attachments (images, various
  documents) take the greatest place in exchanges via e-mail. We
  consider in that case that an average mail box size is 50 MB.
  Processor resources used are important, thus it could be useful to
  consider the increase in frequency and the addition of processors,
  because this type of traffic could be quite well done in parallel.

    _________________________________________________________________

Firewall/Proxy/Web-Cache server

  Generally, this machine is both a Firewall server, a proxy (in both
  directions) and a cache for the Web because all requests go through
  it. The Firewall service uses 1 MB of RAM. The Proxy service uses 0.3
  MB per incoming relay. The Web cache service uses 0.5 MB per user. The
  disk space needed is function of the parameters of the cache Web
  server. In that case, we consider 20 MB per user. Processor resources
  used are important, due to the analysis of IP packets. Thus it could
  be useful to consider the increase in frequency.

  Simultaneous users RAM size Disk size Machine example
  1 - 100 128 Mo 9 Go E60
  100 - 500 512 Mo 18 Go E60
  500 - 1000 1 Go 27 Go E60
    _________________________________________________________________

Linux as computing server

  Generally, this machine is extremely stressed, mainly on the processor
  and RAM aspects. Sometimes this is combined with intensive I/O needs.
  We thus equip such a machine with high-end processors (nowadays
  Pentium III Xeon) with the greatest level 2 cache possible (nowadays 2
  MB). In RAM, we would tend to reach the maximum possible, thus 4 GB.
  For this type of server, we should adapt the swap such as it covers
  all the needs in memory required by the computing codes to execute.
  There is often no specific constraint on network performances, except
  in case of a computing cluster, in which case we may consider to equip
  the machines with 100 Mb/s cards with a switch between them, even with
  Myrinet or Gigabit products. Typically, an LH4 2*PIII 550MHz 1
  GB/2*9GB is the target of this type of server. The choice is extremely
  variable depending on the nature of the computation to do. We should
  underline that there are processors, such as PA-Risc, much more
  performant in floating point computation than today Intel processors
  (up to 6 times).

Linux as an office server

  This kind of server is for the moment rare in the free software world.
  It's more frequent in Microsoft world, by association with
  [538]Metaframe solutions of [539]Citrix. An office server needs 50 MB
  of RAM per user. Intrinsically, this machine has no requirements in
  term of disk, if it's not at the same time a file server. Processor
  resources used are important, thus it could be useful to consider the
  increase in frequency and the addition of processors, because this
  type of traffic could be quite well done in parallel.

Chapter 5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  "How to have more than 1 GB of RAM on my NetServer ?"
         The following informations are adapted from the [540]page of
         Rik van Riel. They concern 2.0.x as well as 2.2.x kernels.

         First of all, the IA32 Intel architecture is limited by
         construction in its memory management to 4 GB. Space which
         should be divided into virtual memory and physical memory.
         Which means that if you choose to recognize more RAM, the
         maximum size for a program decreases.

         But Linux can't manage more than 1 GB by default. To go above
         that, in fact up to 2 GB today, because Linux can't manage more
         memory for the moment, you need to modify 2 files provided with
         kernel sources and recompile it. Those 2 sources are
         /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/page.h and
         /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.

         From 2.0.37 and 2.2.12 kernels on, the patch was integrated in
         the kernel and may be activated when doing a make config.

         The maximum Ram managed in the i386 version was ported to 64 GB
         after 2.3.23.

  "How to have more than 128 MB of swap on my NetServer ?"
         Up to the version 2.8x of the util-linux package, the mkswap
         command could create swap partitions only up to 128 MB maximum.
         You then had to create as much partitions as necessary. Till
         the 2.9 version, included in standard in RedHat 6.0 and
         following distributions, it's possible to create directly swap
         partitions up to 1 GB.

  "How to use the other procesors of my NetServer ?"
         Multi-processing is supported by Linux operationnaly till the
         2.0 version of the kernel. For a 2.0.x kernel, you have to
         recompile it and set up the SMP variable in the Makefile to 1.
         For a 2.2.x kernel, you have to set it up during the make
         config. For more details, please consult the [541]SMP-HOWTO.

  "Is Linux Y2K compatible ?"
         Generally, Linux is Y2K compatible. For more informations
         please consult the [542]FAQ.
