[INFO] Remote Administration using Libre Software.
by Rony 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hello All, A windows user was using radmin to monitor and view other desktops in his LAN. However after its time period expired, it turns out that it costs more that 60K for a 50 user license. So I looked for a libre equivalent and found this below that works in Windows and Linux. It is distributed under the GNU GPL license. http://www.tightvnc.com/intro.html http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html On reading its docs, I found it to be almost similar to radmin in installation and use, but with better security. I installed it in windows and its working fine. From one station, the user can monitor other desktops and have discussions with other users without having to be physically present at their terminal. Picture quality is excellent. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

But I do not want to give much load on Network and many of the servers are not network with each other. Second thing I am planning to compile small Linux distro for making my work easy. Please help. -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

Please visit http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ and click on the meet's link. You can, confirm, if you are attending the meet on 11th and/or coming along with guest(s).

InfraRed Support for Etch.
by Rony 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hello All, I am trying to get Nokia phones connected to my Debian Etch in order to download clicked photos. I use a usb IR adapter and it gets detected and uses /dev/ttyUSB0 as its device. "pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0" Packages irda-utils, kdelirc, lirc etxc have been installed manually. However, from google searches, it appears that I need siefs file system support installed first in order to mount the IR device to a mount point. Does anyone know where its available? On the Debian site, its not listed. Google throws up pages in Russian. Could existing IR mobile users give some clues on how they got their mobiles visible in Linux? I only need to upload/download images. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux
