XWinX
by Philip S Tellis 03 Nov '01

has anyone tried XwinX? It's similar to VNC, except, it gets rid of the VNC Client - VNC Server link. GPLed software. Runs on windows, to export the desktop to an X11 server. http://www.xwinx.org/ really good Philip -- Help fight continental drift.

Hi, I think a lot of people will be interested if somebody can post the script he/she is using for authentication in case of a dial up connection (along with instructions on how to modify it, of course). Philip had mentioned that he knew of an easier way. Philip, do let us know... Thanks. Parul Mathur

Subject wise sorting and subscription
by Anand 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

We could request senders to send subject wise mails. Users can subscribe to the selected subjects. Subjects can be Installation issues Hardware Problems Upgrade News WEB Server Mail Server Networking SAMBA Browser Email Firewall NEWBIE/Linux Toddler and so on........ Users will send mails with subject as say Browser: Unable to read XML pages Users should be able to specify the subjects that they are interested in and get the mails for those subjects. Thus the issues will get better response. Meanwhile, I believe that we should form a committee of interested personnel and get to the issue of properly sorting and analyzing the data that we have, and making better use of that DB.
