Richard M. Stallman did not popularize Open Source. He is the founder
of GNU and the pioneer of the Free Software Movement.

> Just curious to know, what do the ifup and ifdown commands do? Can they be used?
They are scripts to bring a network interface up and down.
ifup eth0 <=> ifconfig eth0 up
ifdown eth0 <=> ifconfig eth0 down
However I have never opened the ifup and ifdown scripts to make sure
that they are identical to the ifconfig commands above.

Dear List,
I connect and disconnect to the internet using etc/init.d/networking
start|stop. When I switch on my PC, DHCP automatically gets connected
at startup. How can I avoid this?
I am using Debian Sarge.

Hi guys,
They are back at it again.
The Department of Company Affair (DCA) is a part of the ministry of finance.
They have converted all their offline sysetems, forms, etc to online
where you can make applications, file documents, etc connected with
private and public limited companies.
To make life simpler, they have come up with the concept of a PFO (an
outsourced Public Front Office). That means, if you are qualified and
meet their criteria, you can set up a small facility (you need 2-5 pcs,
scanners, internet connection, etc) where people can come and use your
facility to do the online with with DCA. First, people who do not have
things like digital signature can use the facility to get their work
done, and those who do not want to spend time figuring out how to use
the system can come and use your facilty as your office staff will fill
it in for them. There will be no need for anyone to go to the Registror
of Companies (ROC) or the office of DCA. This will become more important
in smaller cities where ROC office is not there and currently people are
travelling to ROC offices. Also the PFO will help in issue of Company
Director Identity numbers, digital signatures, etc.
The rules for this has been issued in June 2006 as a part of the DCA-21
project.
The rules specifically say that you MUST have PCs with Windows XP or
Windows 2000 professional loaded on the PCs or you are not eligible for
setting up the front office.
So, you can not use a Linux based system though it would be more than
able to do what the DCA PFO is being asked to do.
I hope Dr. Nagarjuna and others can take this up to the government. I
can provide anyone who needs, a copy of the rules as they have been
published in the Management Accounting Journal.
