a wireless network workshop on 15th
by Nagarjuna 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

We are going to create a mesh network of about half a dozen access points on 15th April at HBCSE campus with the help of Fred Pook, a Netherlands based hacker/enterpruener who works in the suburbs in Goa. If any of you are intersted to join in this hands-on workshop please come to HBCSE on 15th about 10am. It is a day long workshop. We expect to finish making the mesh by evening. It is very likely that Fred Pook will also join us on the 16th meeting at the same venue. Nagarjuna

Hello, > I think I read that 'Free' software can be closed - not > available for peeking or modification. In which case, it's > as good as proprietary/conventional software - I might be > missing something here... You cant close (this way you are violating GPL :)) Since you are not passing on the same freedom which you get before closing.

Linux Education - Continuation

Hi, Sorry for not replying to the original thread, I've deleted the thread.. Anyway, my friend is studying B.Sc. Physics. He just gave his final year theory exams last week and has his practicals next week. The interesting thing is, that this year, for the first time, from what he says, Linux has been included in the syllabus. He had to study 8085 Microprocessor, Operating Systems and hardware basics etc. There was also a topic specifically devoted to Linux versus Windows. This question appeared in the exam paper. For the last couple of days, he has been practising basic CLI on my box. 8085, MS Office and Linux command line weighs 30 marks in total, in the practicals, apparently. I think that's good news? What do the luggers think? Mrugesh P.S. Only gripe being the use of MS Office specifically...

But where I could and how to install those dependencies? Pls. give > me suggetions for this. If you are using a RPM based distro like Fedora or Redhat, then you can manually get the packages from sites like http://freshrpms.net/, apart from using yum. In case you are in Ubuntu, then Synaptic is a God sent solution for you. Rishi

However, as in the earlier reply by Mr. JTD, I'll make an attempt to ask my H. O. D., regarding this. But if the industry was given an opportunity to be in the team of deciding the curriculum, they could expect prospect employees for their organization with the essential skill set. And hence, In the original post, I insisted on the industry to initiate such a step. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your partner now.

Hi Anurag/Dinesh, >> Also note that there are better wiki software avaliable than >> MediaWiki. Moinmoin is an excellent and safe alternative as PHP based >> wikis are known to have security issues. > I second that. What kind of security issues or vulnerabilities are you talking about? If there are vulnerabilities, then why is Wikipedia running on MediaWiki? Happy hacking, Debarshi
