Reminder: ACM Seminar on LaTex, Fri 28/9
by Durgesh D Rao 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

Dear Colleague, This is to remind you about the following event. Regards, - Durgesh, on behalf of ACM Mumbai ACM Seminar Friday, September 28, 2001 - 6:30 p.m. Title: LaTeX: A Document Preparation System Speaker: Vivek Mehta (NCST) Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu Abstract: LaTeX is a generic typesetting system that uses TeX as its formatting engine. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. LaTeX is especially great in a heterogeneous computing environment since it is not linked to any computer architecture or operating system. LaTeX is very flexible, easy to use, easy to learn and at the same time it allows professional typographic quality. UNIX users are fond of it, as it follows the ideology of most tools which were originally made for UNIX, i.e. a bit difficult to start with, but very fast (and smooth) once you get to know it. LaTeX has nowadays regained a lot of popularity irrespective of the fact that you have applications like MSWord around. This has a lot to do with the advent and the amazing spread of Linux installations in India and abroad. About the Speaker: Vivek Mehta works as a scientist in the KBCS division of NCST. He is interested in Natural Language Technology, Data Structures, tools for the UNIX platform and everything else :). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Durgesh D Rao (DDR) | Email: durgesh(a)ncst.ernet.in Research Scientist, KBCS Division | Ph: 6201606x372(w), 7563437(r) National Centre for Software Technology | Fax: +91-22-6210139 Gulmohar Rd 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049, INDIA.| Web: www.ncst.ernet.in/~durgesh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: [ILUG-BOM] transparent proxy
by Mahesh Gharat 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

The iptables rule for transparent proxy is #/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE in the above rule 192.168.0.0 is the local network and 255.255.255.0 is subnet. -o eth1 option specifies the external interface which connects your proxy server/gateway to the internet.for me it is eth1.for you it might be ppp0 if you are using dialup. Enable routing on the Server. Add the IP of your proxy server as gateway in the network properties of the Windows machine.That's it. reply back if have any relative problem.

mail servers
by Kunal Jhunjhunwala 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

Hey, which mail servers do you guys suggest one should use? I have heard good things about qmail, but it requires a static ip. Exim isnt very popular and sendmail is a tad bit scary for me... anyone else got any suggestions?
