Hello List,

Quote from the article
"He said that bandwidth costs too are likely to see a
drastic reduction shortly with BSNL and MTNL planning
to host web servers within the country by the middle
of this year.
Maran said these PSUs would set up web servers, which
will enable the internet traffic to be diverted within
India instead of being routed out of the country. This
will reduce bandwidth costs significantly, he said,
adding that Internet access charges would also come
down."
set up web servers? Is "Internet Backbones" the
technically correct word? If internet traffic are
routed out of the country, VSNL is just a gateway to
it? VSNL, doesn't have an backbone?
There is one backbone at Karachi and one at Lahore in
neigbouring country, according to

Hi All,
Came across this cool piece of software - Virtual Distributed Ethernet
-http://vde.sourceforge.net/
It basically allows you to simulate a network on a single computer and
it allows you to connect these distributed ethernets to each other.
It is extremely useful if you have multiple images running under qemu
and wish to connect them , simulating physical hosts.
sadly it is not packaged into deb.

Hi,
This is my first mail to mumbai lug!
1) Is there a good shop in mumbai to buy linux pre-installed laptop (see
http://www.system76.com/ )
2) What laptop brands are said to be most suitable for linux?
-Omkar.
We have a HP officejet 4255 all-in-one printer-fax-scanner-copier machine
which i need t configure with ubuntu.
While my laptop dualboot ubuntu 7.04 does recognise the printer and assign
hp 4200 series drivers, it keeps
printing only blanks. I tried hplip, tried exporting it to pdf format then
printing.
Googling wasn't much help as similar problem was either unanswered in forums
or solved by exporting to pdf.
Is there any internal printer or some other setting i have overlooked?
Please guide..

Hi,
I'm looking to customize/deploy a POS/Inventory system for a small store chain.
I was wondering if anyone on the list has developed/deployed a
complete POS system based on Linux and/or FOSS and how their
experience turned out to be.
If you did, please drop me a note at my email address and I'd
appreciate it if I could discuss this in detail with you.

Hello,
A lot of *nix people often wonder the answer to
the age old question :
i did rm -Rf by mistake - what do i do now ?
Well, there are quite a few answers to the same.
Thankfully there is now a simple answer
(with not so headbreaking). A friend of mine
tried it out on his Ubuntu box(on ext3)
and was able to recover a ton of stuff deleted
over the ages.
To make things even better the answer is GPL :D
And the answer is :

Hello All,
I was with Krish when he mentioned that he had successfully got
multimedia playback in Ubuntu, by adding some repositories manually in
the apt sources list and downloading extra packages.
When I got back, a google search revealed this page below and that
finally did it.

This explains everything in a simple and straightforward way. As I use
Kubuntu, in the line
'sudo apt-get install totem-xine totem-xine-firefox-plugin
libxine-extracodecs flashplugin-nonfree msttcorefonts sun-java5-plugin
skype banshee streamtuner xmms realplay f-spot'
The 'totem-xine totem-xine-firefox-plugin' entries were removed as they
are for Gnome and apt throws errors.
The important package is libxine-extracodecs.
I am now able to play VCDs with sound. My DVD freezes at the
introductory text itself but that could be due to bad media or my DVD
writer is country locked. Anyway now I am quite happy with the progress
and hope others who were tearing their hair over multimedia in Debian
based distros will find some relief from the link above.
