   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
   ml.
     _________________________________________________________________

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]ask_tim@oreilly.com>, 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.

     _________________________________________________________________

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.
     _________________________________________________________________

Solutions argumentation

   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]Jacques_Misselis@hp.com>,
   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.

   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".

          Section example :

Section "Device"

   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]Frederic.Dubuy@medasys-digital-systems.fr> and Anne-Marie
          Mahfouf <[510]a-m.mahfouf@lineone.net>)

          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"
[...]
      Identifier "i810"

   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

   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).

          To use the FrameBuffer mode, please consult the following

   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)
#cd ~
# Put there the 3c59x.c source module for the 3Com card
#ncftp ftp://ftp.medasys-digital-systems.fr/pub/linux/networking/drivers/3c59x.

# put the RedHat 5.1 floppy boot disk in the drive
# you have to copy the initrd.img file from the floppy disk
#mcopy a:initrd.img /tmp
# then uncompress it
#gzip -cd /tmp/initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.ext2
# Mount the "file" filesystem thus obtained
#mount -t ext2 /tmp/initrd.ext2 /mnt/floppy -o loop
# uncompress the modules provided
#gzip -cd /mnt/floppy/modules/modules.cgz > /tmp/modules.cpio
# extract the modules
#cd /tmp ; mkdir modules ;

# Copy the new updated module for the 3Com card
#cp ~/3c59x.o .
# recreate the compressed cpio file
#ls | cpio -o | gzip -c9 > ../newmodules.cgz
# replace the modules by their update

   GD 5465 video card
          To use a Cirrus Logic GD 5465 AGP card, with a version below
          Xfree86 3.3.3, you have to use an option in the file XF86Config
          : Option "xaa_no_color_exp".

          Section example :

Section "Device"

   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.

     _________________________________________________________________

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.

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.

   Table 4-7. Sizing of an office server
   Simultaneous users RAM size Disk size Machine example
   1 - 10 512 Mo 9 Go E60

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.
