On 5/28/07, someone wrote something about privacy: > Hi, My email id is: kartik.mistry(a)gmail.com Now, Spam me ;) If you are FOSS contributor, your email id will float around the universe. Debian BTS is actually based on emails. Like you will have QA page like: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=youremail@foo.com Also mentioning straight at all PTS pages for package. So, it is your responsibility to use filters and may be different email id for mailing lists etc. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Kartik Mistry | Eng: kartikmistry.org/blog 0xD1028C8D | Guj: kartikm.wordpress.com --------------------------------------------------------

Are you trying to trying to reduce the amount of spam you get? What if I create a score of webpages each mentioning your email address a multiple number of times, with the proper mailto: tag, etc.. What will you do then? Would it not lead to spam too? Regards, Debarshi -- GPG key ID: 63D4A5A7 Key server: pgp.mit.edu

[Commercial] Looking for help with php / mysq / moodle
by David Willington 27 May '07

27 May '07

Dear All I'm a free-lance web developer based in the UK - I hope it's OK to post here. I've got more work than I can cope with at the moment and am looking to outsource some of it. Specifically 'm looking for help with integrating moodle (www.moodle.org) with SIMS, a proprietary data management system widely used by schools in the UK. I'm also looking for help with maintaining nd developing a bespoke website and content management system for a school in the UK.> The essential skills needed are php / mysql / html / css> Desirable skills are perl, wml, javascript, linux system administration and knowledge of moodle Any work done would be open source. I've not delved into the finer points of the different open source licenses but I should imagine it'd be GPL If you know of anyone who could help, I'd be delighted to hear from you Thanks David Willington Sheffield, UK _________________________________________________________________ Try Live.com: where your online world comes together - with news, sports, weather, and much more. http://www.live.com/getstarted

To access files in my home dir, he made my user and his user member of all groups.(dunno how that helped him!! but i dont blame him , he is a kid in 10th std). Then later on , when I removed some softwares, may be a group associated with it was deleted but both users were its members or so . So I just made the group memberships to minimum needed ie. own group and wheel group , and KDM login happened . I may be wrong in assesing the problem as I dont know which group's membership exactly caused the problem. I am wondering why was GDM working then if KDM had problem !! Is it a bug in KDM that its checking for harmless and inconsequential errors and giving up on it , coz if GDM can start my KDE why not KDM !! -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX

raspppoe - alternative? Intel 810 - Ubuntu?
by Roshan 25 May '07

25 May '07

List, I tried Ubuntu 6.06 on one of my friend's computer. His comptuer's specs are Intel Pentium III 866 MHz Intel 810 - Motherboard 256 MB of RAM 120 GB Hdd (80 + 20) HP monitor Peripherals (essentail kbd, mouse, samsung CD-RW drive) Though the Live CD worked well without problems, I actually couldn't connect to internet. This is because, his ISP is Exatt Net and the provider uses raspppoe (for authentication, I guess. I don't know what sort of internet connection this is). Assuming that this connection was pppoe, I tried running pppoe on the Live CD, and found that it isn't available in the Live CD. (Is this what I was supposed to do? ) Tried Knoppix for the same, but Knoppix couldn't figure out the monitor and the screen was showing a series of varied color horizontal lines, after bootup. Is there any other Live CD, that would have pppoe on its Live CD to try and connect to his internet. Perhaps, if someone could post a how-to on the wiki with details about the "cablewala ka internet" or an ISP such as one mentioned above, it would be helpful for many. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Download prohibited?
